6 416i
Line-Level Input Module
The 6416i Input Module provides 16
balanced line-level analog inputs to a
Pro64® A-Net® network. Audio channels
are converted to digital and inserted
into the network.
24-bit resolution: 44.1/48kHz±, 96kHz±,
an d 192 kHz ±. No ma tt er th e sam pl e r ate,
all 16 input channels on the 6416i are
available for use. No data compression
is used at any time, ensuring the high-
est fidelity performance.
Each channel includes a four-position
gain switch and three-segment level
metering. Adjacent channels can be
linked as a stereo pair. Audio inputs
use XLR jacks, while thru/alternate in
connections are provided via DB25
multipin connectors on the rear panel.
In addition to its audio capabilities,
the 6416i also includes I/O for Aviom’s
innovative Virtual Data Cables™. The
VDCs can be used for simultaneously
distributing up to 14 channels of non-
audio control data to any device on
the Pro64 network. The 6416i provides

within the Pro64 network, making
complex installations easy to configure
and manage. Each input channel of a
6416i can be made active and inserted
into the network as needed.
The 6416i Input Module is ideally suited
as a line-level input path for main FOH
returns in a digital snake, for inputs
into a Pro16® Monitor Mixing System
(Pro64 ASI module required), or for
The Pro64 network supports three
ranges of variable sample rates, all with
inputs in even the most complex audio
distribution network.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION
The Aviom 6416i Input Module shall provide sixteen channels of balanced
line-level audio A/D conversion transmitted digitally onto a Pro 64® A-Net®
network. It shall provide full-bandwidth, high-quality audio by employing
the A-Net audio transmission protocol. It shall employ 24-bit A/D converters
with sample rates from 39.7kHz to 52kHz, 79.4kHz to 104kHz, and 158.8kHz
to 208 kHz.
It shall have a frequency response from 3Hz to 22kHz, ±0.5dB or better, with
total harmonic d istortion no more than 0.0 02% at 1kHz with a -10dBFS i nput
signal with 0dB gain. Maximum input level without clipping shall be +18dBu.
Input gain shall be variable from -14dB to +6dB, with a four-position gain
switch. Input impedance shall be 3k ohms.
Per-channel features shall include a network ac tivation button with LED
indicator, four-position gain switch, and three-segment peak-reading
level meters. Each pair of channels shall have a lighted stereo link button.
Network interface controls shall include A-Net transmission mode, sample
