If I Buy an SL9003Q-2S, Can it be Converted in the Field to Another Configuration?

Because the Starlink is a modular system, field upgrades are very easy to install. Alternatively, if you prefer a factory conversion, we will gladly schedule a loaner unit for you while our Technical Services Team accomplishes the conversion.

What are the differences between the three most common Starlink configurations?

The Starlink can be set up in a myriad of audio/data configurations. Over time, three basic configurations naturally emerged and are reflected on our Distributor Price Lists:

• The SL9003Q-2S is shipped from the factory with one stereo pair, 16 QAM, 44.1 kHz audio sampling.
• The SL9003Q-4S is shipped with two stereo pairs at 32 kHz, 32 QAM. (On request, two 44.1 kHz, 128 QAM can be substituted. Please ensure that your dealer includes this request at time of order.)
• The SL9003Q-2SLAN is configured with one 44.1 kHz Stereo pair and the Six-Port Mux and LAN cards from our SL9003T1 system. The LAN provides approximately 600 kbps of IP unidirectional.

All Starlinks have AES and Analog I/Os on both sides of the system. The TX is AES or L/R, the RX is AES and L/R. There is also an RS-232 data circuit for each stereo pair included.
