The Golden Media MS-9916LC is an indoor multiswitch designed for SMATV installations requiring distribution of two satellite polarities and bands alongside a terrestrial signal to 16 independent receiver outlets. It accepts 8 satellite IF inputs (covering the 4 polarisation/band combinations of up to 2 satellites) plus one terrestrial input and one power input, all via F connectors. Built-in amplifiers compensate for splitting losses, and the switching commands cover all four LNB states: 13 V/0 Hz, 18 V/0 Hz, 13 V/22 kHz, and 18 V/22 kHz.

The unit is supplied with a power adapter (external, 110–240 V AC / 50–60 Hz) and an instruction manual. It is suitable for medium to large SMATV installations in apartment buildings, hotels, and similar multi-outlet environments.

Key Features

• 9 inputs: 8 satellite IF (F connectors) + 1 terrestrial + power input
• 16 tap outputs for independent satellite receivers or TV-SAT sockets
• Built-in amplifiers for satellite and terrestrial signal paths
• Supports distribution of 2 satellites to 16 independent receivers
• All four LNB switching commands: 13 V/0 Hz, 18 V/0 Hz, 13 V/22 kHz, 18 V/22 kHz
• Designed for indoor use
• Supplied with external power adapter

Product Benefits

• Distributes 2 satellites with terrestrial signal to 16 outlets from a single device, removing the need for cascaded switches
• Built-in amplifiers compensate for tap-insertion losses, maintaining signal levels at all 16 outputs
• LNB supply voltage and 22 kHz switching allow each receiver to independently select its preferred satellite band and polarity
• Terrestrial signal pass-through delivers antenna TV alongside satellite to every outlet
• Suitable for mid-to-large SMATV systems in residential blocks and hospitality venues

Why You'll Love It

• One multiswitch, 16 independent outlets — each receiver chooses its own satellite, band, and polarity independently
• Built-in amplifiers mean no external booster is needed to compensate for the 16-way split
• Terrestrial signal is distributed alongside satellite at every outlet — no separate antenna distribution required
• External power adapter keeps the unit compact and replaces easily if needed
