The product supports up to 16 digital audio channels through DB25. Additional AES/EBU outputs use XLR sockets, with a dedicated subwoofer channel and extra stereo monitoring. Flexible routing allows smooth switching between studio monitors and headphones without interrupting audio.

GLM software integration provides full monitor calibration and bass management. A subwoofer output makes it easy to add active subwoofers for higher bass sound pressure levels. Linking several 9402A units expands the system to multichannel formats including 22.2.
