Description
XILICA U1616 Programmable 48kHz Ethernet DSP System - Fixed Architecture DSP Modules - 16 IN x 16 OUT
The XILICA U1616 is a 16-input, 16-output fixed-install digital signal processor from Xilica’s Uno Series. Designed for commercial audio, venue, education, hospitality and installed sound applications, it combines flexible routing and processing with Ethernet-based configuration in a compact 1U rack chassis.
The U1616 provides 16 balanced mic/line inputs with individually selectable 48V phantom power and 16 balanced line outputs. Audio is processed at 48kHz using 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion with a 40-bit floating-point DSP engine, giving system designers access to the core tools required for fixed audio installations without needing to build the signal flow from scratch.
Key features
- 16 balanced analogue mic/line inputs
- 16 balanced analogue line outputs
- 48V phantom power selectable per input
- 48kHz sample rate
- 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion
- 40-bit floating-point DSP engine
- Ethernet connectivity for configuration and control
- DHCP network support for automatic IP management
- Maximum fixed processing latency of 3 ms
- 4 × 2 GPIO for logic input and relay output functions
- Non-volatile program memory
- 1U 19-inch rackmount chassis
DSP & system processing
The Uno platform provides pre-configured DSP designs with processing resources that include mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics, gain controls, routers, room combiners, delays, meters, logic and remote-control functions. This makes the U1616 suitable for applications that need system zoning, source routing, speaker processing, room combining and centralised level control.
Network control
Configuration and control are handled over standard Ethernet. The U1616 supports automatic network connection and DHCP IP management and can be operated using Xilica’s compatible Uno control software and supported control-panel options. Ethernet is used for control and configuration; this standard U1616 model is the analogue I/O version rather than a Dante-equipped Uno-N model.

Legacy product note
The Xilica Uno U1616 is a legacy / end-of-life model. Xilica lists the Uno U1616 among its discontinued products and advises that factory service, repair parts and further software or firmware development are no longer available. Existing units can still be useful for maintaining, replacing or expanding compatible installed Uno systems, but buyers should confirm software and system compatibility before purchase.
Who is this for?
The U1616 is suited to AV integrators, installers, venues, schools, churches, hospitality sites and commercial facilities that need a high-I/O fixed-install DSP for routing, mixing, EQ, dynamics, delay, room combining and remote system control.
