Network audio matrix Audac LUNA-F 16x16 channels PoE

The Audac LUNA-F 16x16 network audio matrix provides centralized audio routing for professional and commercial installations. Supporting 16 inputs and 16 outputs over an IP network with Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatibility, it simplifies cabling and enables flexible signal distribution, mixing and control across multiple zones. The unit is designed for applications such as conference rooms, retail paging, background music systems and multi-zone audio setups where reliable, low-latency networked audio is required.

Advantages

The LUNA-F offers a compact, rack-friendly form factor and PoE support to reduce the need for separate power cabling where compatible switches are available. Network control allows centralized management of routing, volume and presets, while the 16x16 channel architecture supports complex matrixing and simultaneous distribution to multiple zones. Built with professional audio interfaces and network protocols, it provides predictable latency and scalability for expanding installations.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms and meeting facilities
• Retail stores and shopping centers for paging and background music
• Hospitality venues and restaurants with multi-zone audio
• Education facilities requiring distributed lecture and announcement audio
• Corporate offices and public buildings for centralized audio management

Key specifications

• Channel count: 16 inputs and 16 outputs for matrix routing
• Network audio transport compatible with standard IP audio infrastructures
• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for simplified installation when used with PoE switches
• Control: Network-based routing, volume control and preset management
• Latency: Designed for low-latency audio distribution suitable for live paging and conferencing
• Form factor: Compact unit intended for integration into professional installations

How to use

Connect audio sources and destination devices to the networked audio system and configure the Audac LUNA-F using its web or network control interface. Assign inputs to outputs within the 16x16 matrix, set levels and save presets for common routing scenarios. When PoE is available from the network switch, connect the device to a PoE-enabled port to provide power and audio data over a single cable. Verify network settings and multicast or unicast transport parameters as required by the site’s audio network topology.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use managed network switches that support QoS and PoE to prioritize audio traffic and provide stable power. Maintain firmware updates and back up configuration presets. Plan zoning and routing logic during system design to minimize on-site adjustments and ensure consistent audio coverage across all areas.
