About A-Net

The Pro16® version of A‑Net® is a high‑speed data transmission protocol capable of sending and receiving high‑quality digital audio using readily available Cat‑5 cables. A‑Net is a proprietary technology developed by Aviom.
A‑Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology. This provides A‑Net with a mature and robust base on which to build. However, it is important to note that A‑Net devices are not compatible with Ethernet devices.
3AN-16 /i-M Mi c i N p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
Some of the benefits of using A‑Net to transmit digital audio are:
Virtually no latency• No ground loops• Easy cabling using readily available components• An unlimited number of A‑Net devices can be used in a •
system Ease in spanning long distances between system •
components
P No t e : While the Cat‑5e cables and connectors used on your Aviom
products look like typical computer Ethernet network connections, do not connect computers, routers, or other home and business networking equipment to your Aviom products.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).

Compatibility with Pro64

Many Pro16 products can be connected to a Pro64® A‑Net system with the addition of the ASI A‑Net Systems Interface. The ASI translates Pro64 A‑Net data into Pro16 data and separates the 64‑channel Pro64 stream into up to four 16‑channel Pro16 outputs, depending on the Pro64 sample rate being used.
Only Pro16 devices that have an A‑Net In port such as Personal Mixers, A‑Net Distributors, and output modules are compatible with Pro64 and the ASI. Pro16 input modules and console cards cannot send their data into a Pro64 network.

About Category 5

Category 5 (sometimes referred to as Cat-5) describes a commonly used type of high performance network cabling. It is used mainly for data transmission purposes to connect computers, modems and other devices. A standard Category 5 patch cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 male connectors. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity between any two Cat‑5 female outlet jacks. A variation, called Category 5e (or Cat‑5e), uses additional twists in the cable to reduce interference in high‑speed network applications. In general, when using long cable lengths, select Cat‑5e cables for best performance. Use Cat-5e Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) cables or better for all A-Net applications�
4AN-16 /i-M Mi c i N p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone
RJ45 Jack Cat-5 Cable
system, only larger. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to shield the cable from unwanted interference from electrical fields or radio interference (sometimes referred to as “RF”). Cat‑5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps.

Cat-5 Cables

The cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any standard Cat‑5e cables. If you need a longer cable for a particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom cables to any length (up to the maximum of 500 feet (150 meters) between components).
For fixed or permanent installations, you have the option of running Cat‑5 cables inside walls and terminating them with readily available wall panel connectors that include the RJ45 jack. (Solid wire is recommended for permanent installations.)
In addition to standard Cat‑5e cables, Category 6 (Cat‑6) cables can also be used.
P No t e : When purchasing Category 5e cables, be sure to buy only standard
Cat‑5e UTP cables, not those sold as crossover cables. A crossover cable is used for file transfer between two computers and is not compatible with your Aviom equipment.

Cable Lengths

Cat‑5e cables used with your Aviom products can be up to 500 feet (approximately 150 meters) in length between devices. The maximum cable length specification applies to the cable connected between the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module and the first Pro16 output module (or Personal Mixer) in your system as well as for cable runs between each additional Pro16 A‑Net compatible device in your system.

Your cable length performance will be affected by a number of factors including the quality of the cables used, and the number of devices such as cable couplers used or passive wall panel interconnections in use. Use Cat‑5e cable for best performance wherever possible. Stranded or solid Cat‑5e cable can be used.
When using the optional AN‑16SBR System Bridge, the cable length specification applies to the total cable length between the two A‑Net devices being connected with the AN‑16SBR System Bridge. This is similar to what happens when using an inline coupler to extend cable lengths.
Pre‑made cables in a variety of lengths and colors are available at most computer outlets. Cables can be extended by using a simple passive device called an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as long as you do not exceed the specified maximum cable length). If you need a longer cable on occasion, this is a simple solution. Note that it is possible that the maximum
6AN-16 /i-M Mi c i N p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
cable length specification can be compromised by using inline couplers or other passive connection devices.

AC Line Conditioning

Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available with built‑in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).

Rack Mounting

The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight of the AN‑16/i‑M without additional hardware. Each rack ear contains holes for two screws per side. Always support the unit with all four screws.
To rack mount Mic Input Module, position it in the equipment rack at the desired location. Use standard rack‑mounting screws (10‑32 size) to attach the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screws firmly, but avoid overtightening.
Aviom suggests the use of non‑metallic washers between the rack‑mounting screws and the device’s finished surface to avoid marring the painted finish on your Aviom products.
Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks. Avoid placing your AN‑16/i‑M directly above or below other rack‑mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amps.
7AN-16 /i-M Mi c i N p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e

EtherCon Connector

Some Aviom products use EtherCon® Cat‑5 connectors. The Neutrik EtherCon connector is a dual RJ45 type connector. It can receive a standard Cat‑5e cable or a cable fitted with the special heavy‑duty EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat‑5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the jack; release the cable by pressing on the small plastic tab built into the cable connector.
The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR cable, the kind commonly used on microphones. Insert an EtherCon equipped cable into the jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal release tab at the top of the panel‑mounted EtherCon jack and pull the connector outward.

Cleaning and Maintenance Information

The exterior of your Aviom products should be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint‑ free cloth. For tougher dirt, you can use a cloth slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent.
When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. Then use the dampened cloth to clean the product.
P No t e : Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of
your Aviom products.

The numbered channels on the AN‑16/i‑M front panel correspond to the sixteen analog (mic or line) audio inputs on the rear panel of the unit. They are grouped together in pairs—Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4, etc. Each channel contains three LEDs, one showing that there is an audio signal
13AN-1 6/i-M M ic iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
present, one LED to display when signal levels reach a point that is 10dB from maximum level, and another used to indicate that the input to a channel is causing audio clipping.
The lower LED, marked Signal, will light as long as an audio signal of at least ‑40dB is present on the channel. It provides an easy way to confirm that audio is indeed passing into—and being processed by—the AN‑16/i‑M.
The center LED lights when audio signals reach a level that is within 10dB of the maximum level before clipping.
The upper LED is marked Clip. It lights when input signal levels exceed the maximum of 0dB. If the Clip LED is lighting frequently, you should lower the level of the audio source using the AN‑16/i‑M Gain knob.

Phantom Power Switch

Phantom power is provided for condenser mics on each channel. Engaging the Phantom Power switch for a channel delivers +48 volts to the XLR jack on the rear panel of the AN‑16/i‑M. The LED lights to indicate that phantom power is on.
P No t e : Avoid using phantom power with line‑level devices.
Use caution when activating phantom power to avoid damage to ribbon microphones, for example.

Gain Knob

Each channel has a rotary Gain knob with variable gain. Two gain ranges are available, one for mic‑level signals connected via the XLR jack and another for line‑level signals connected to the TRS balanced inputs on the rear panel combo jacks.
The XLR input has a gain range of +6dB to +60dB. The TRS input gain range is from ‑15dB to +36dB. The XLR input will be most often used with microphone signals, although it can also accept line‑level signals.

Low Cut Filter (Rolloff)

Below the Gain knob is the Low Cut switch. It provides a low frequency rolloff at 85Hz that can be used to minimize low frequency artifacts such as vibration noise and rumble. Press the switch in to engage the rolloff. In the up position, marked Flat, the low cut filter is not engaged.

Phase Invert Switch

The Phase Invert switch alters the polarity of the audio signal on a per‑ channel basis. It can be used to correct phase anomalies that sometimes occur when using multiple microphones on the same sound source (such as a drum kit). To invert the phase of a channel, set the channel’s Phase switch to the in position.

The Stereo Link Switch

The AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module provides an easy solution for stereo input sources such as mixer sub‑groups, keyboards, effects device outputs, CD players, etc. The Stereo Link switch is most useful when used to turn a pair of adjacent channels into a stereo channel pair that can be controlled as a single source on the Pro16 Personal Mixer products, including the A‑16II and A‑16R.
When using the AN‑16/i‑M Input Module with AN‑16/o Output Modules alone to create an audio network or digital snake, the setting of the Stereo Link switch will have no effect.
The channel gain, lter, and phase invert section of the channel strip
There are eight Stereo Link switches on the front panel of the AN‑16/i‑M. They can be used in any combination, as your needs require. The Stereo Link switch is located between two channels—one odd and one even. Stereo Links always affect adjacent channels (for example channels 1 and 2, or channels 13 and 14).
15AN-1 6/i-M M ic iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
To link channels together as a stereo input, move the Stereo Link switch to the right. (Moving the switch to the link position causes all Personal Mixers connected to the system (including the A‑16CS Control Surface used with the A‑16R) to instantly update their channel status.)
Some things to keep in mind about linked channels:
The position of the • Stereo Link switch does not affect the audio in the AN‑16/o Output Module.
• Linking channels affects all A‑Net Personal Mixers connected to the system.
Any combination of stereo and • mono channels can be used.
If you want to control two input channels as a stereo • source, they must be connected to an odd and even pair of channels, as indicated by the graphics on the AN‑16/i‑M front panel.
Changes to the Stereo Link status can be made on the fly, • with audio running through the system.
All Personal Mixers will instantly update their channel • status if the Link switch position is changed for any channel pair.
Link status is not saved when you create a Preset on A‑16II • or A‑16R Personal Mixers.
Changing the channel link status may affect • Groups you have created on A‑16II and A‑16R Personal Mixers in some cases.

Power LED

The right side of the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module front panel interface also contains the Power LED. This indicator shows that power is connected to the unit. When the AN‑16/i‑M is powered up, a valid A‑Net signal is being generated.

Power Connector

The AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module comes with an internal switching‑type power supply. This type of power supply can be used worldwide with a wide range of AC wall current output voltages. You do not need to replace the power supply if the unit will be used in countries where current voltages are different if you travel with your Aviom gear occasionally. (You may, however, need plug adapters to allow the power supply to be connected to wall outlets internationally since many countries use different physical plug layouts for their power systems.)

Made In USA
Conceived, designed and manufactured by Aviom, Inc.
The rear panel of the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module contains sixteen audio input jacks. Microphones or line‑level audio signals can be used. The combo jack used for audio input can accept an XLR connector or a ¼‑inch TRS connector.
The XLR input is designed to accept microphone‑level signals from dynamic or condenser microphones. Phantom power (+48V) is supplied for each channel for use with condenser mics. The XLR input can also accept a line‑level audio signal. But, be aware that using the XLR jack for a line‑level input can cause clipping with some extremely hot audio signals. If adjusting the Gain knob on the front panel does not reduce the clipping, use the TRS input instead.
Channel input s accept XLR or TRS plugs; all Thru connection are XLR male.
The ¼‑inch part of the combo jacks can accept balanced or unbalanced line‑ level signals using TRS or TS plugs.
P No t e : Do not connect guitars or other high impedance sources to the
line‑level inputs. Use a direct box to convert a guitar or bass pickup’s low level magnetic signal to mic level.
Balanced signals (sometimes referred to as TRS, for Tip, Ring, and Sleeve) are found on many professional audio devices. The ¼‑inch connector used for balanced audio wiring has three conductors: the tip, the ring, and the sleeve. The balanced wiring system is ideal for keeping noise out of the audio signal from sources such as radio interference (sometimes called “RF”).
Unbalanced audio signals (sometimes referred to as TS, for Tip and Sleeve) are found on many effects processors, music keyboards, and consumer electronics. Only two connectors on the ¼‑inch plug are used, the tip and the sleeve. A standard musical instrument cable (sometimes called a guitar cord) uses this configuration, for example.

The sixteen XLR balanced audio Thru jacks on the AN‑16/i‑M provide an exact copy of the mic signal plugged into the Input jack just above it. This provides a passive splitter that can send a copy of the audio inputs to an analog audio mixer used for monitors in a digital snake installation, for example.
No front‑panel adjustments are passed on to the Thru connector with the exception of the phantom power used by condenser mics.

Channel Inserts

Each of the sixteen audio channels has a dedicated set of insert send/return jacks. The insert jacks are ¼‑inch balanced TRS and are designed to allow audio processors such as compressor/limiters to be added to each channel.
Connect a cable from the channel’s Se N d jack to the audio input of the effects processor. Connect another ¼‑inch cable from the device’s output to the Re t u R N jack on the AN‑16/i‑M channel to be processed.
The Insert Send jack can be used as a direct line output.

Direct Line Outputs

The AN‑16/i‑M Input Module can also be used as a stand‑alone mic preamp. The insert send/return functions as a line output if only the Send jack is used.
To send a channel’s audio signal to another line‑level device, connect a cable (TS or TRS) from the channel’s Se N d jack to the input of the device. Do not connect a cable to the AN‑16/i‑M Re t u R N jack as this will break the line out connection, creating an insert send/return path, as described above.

When a proper A‑Net connection between the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module and an AN‑16/o Output Module (or Pro16 Series Personal Mixer) exists, the A‑Net Active LED on the receiving device will light.

A-Net Expansion

The A‑Net Expansion jack is used when creating a 32‑channel digital snake or audio network using at least two AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Modules and two AN‑16/o Output Modules or other compatible output devices. Using the A‑Net Expansion jack allows thirty‑two channels of data to travel down a single Cat‑5e cable up to 500 feet (150 meters) to the destination AN‑16/i‑M or AN‑16/o units.

Series and Parallel Connections

In a simple system, the easiest connection method uses what is called a daisy-chain. That is, each A‑Net device is connected in series. The first device in the chain receives the A‑Net signal from the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module. Each successive A‑Net compatible device gets its A‑Net connection from the A‑Net Out jack of the device preceding it in the chain.
There is one drawback to this connection method, however. If one A‑Net device in the chain is disconnected from the A‑Net signal chain, all units beyond this point will not get any audio until the unit is reconnected to a valid A‑Net source.

Connecting A-Net Devices in Series

The diagram below illustrates a series connection of A‑Net devices.
In this diagram, A- Net is connected from device to device using Cat-5e cable. The A-Net Out port on the rst device connects to the A-Net In port on the next, and s o on.
A parallel A‑Net connection solves that problem. By using the optional A‑16D or A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributors, parallel A‑Net connections are possible. In fact, any combination of series and parallel connections can be used to solve even the most complex audio routing problems.

Connecting A‑Net devices in parallel involves the addition of an A‑Net distributor. Any number of A‑Net distributors can be added, creating an infinite number of digital splits.

Using an A-Net Distributor

A variety of A-Net compatible components are shown connected in parallel to an A-16D or A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor.
The A‑Net output from the A‑16D or A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributor in the diagram above is connected to each Pro16 A‑Net compatible device’s A‑Net input with a Cat‑5e cable. Removing one A‑Net device has no effect on the other A‑Net outputs being used.
When configuring a Pro16 system, modules can be connected in any order; simply connect A‑Net Out to A‑Net In as needed.

To convert the mic‑ or line‑level signals connected to the AN‑16/i‑M back to 16 discrete channels of analog audio, the AN‑16/i‑M needs to be connected to a compatible A‑Net output module such as the AN‑16/o Output Module. Simply connect a Cat‑5e cable from A-Ne t ou t on the AN‑16/i‑M to A-Ne t iN on the output module.
Sixteen mic/line sources are out put as analog audio up to 500 fee t away.

Adding Splits

When additional copies of the same audio channels are needed—a digital split—using A‑Net allows easy system expansion. The A‑Net Out jack on the AN‑16/o can be used to send an exact copy of the audio data being received to as many AN‑16/o Output Modules as required, creating an infinite number of digital splits each of which can be up to 500 feet (150 meters) apart.

Adding Personal Mixers

A Pro16 digital snake can be expanded to include Aviom’s A‑16II and A‑16R Personal Mixer products as well. As seen in the previous section, the A‑Net Out jack on any Pro16 A‑Net compatible device can be used to send a copy of the sixteen channels of audio data from the input module to another A‑Net compatible device.
The following diagram shows a 16‑channel system with one AN‑16/i‑M used for the input module and two different types of expanded outputs.
The 16 inputs for m the AN-16/i-M can be sent digitally to any compatible Pro16 device using A-Net.
Any number of A‑16II or A‑16R Personal Mixers can be added using this method. In fact, it’s important to remember that any A‑Net compatible device can be added to a system, connected via daisy‑chain or parallel.

Extending A-Net Cable Runs

To go longer than the maximum specified distance A‑Net allows (500 feet, 150 meters), the A‑16D (or A‑16D Pro) A‑Net Distributor can be used as a signal repeater. Simply insert the A‑16D or A‑16D Pro into the A‑Net stream at the 500‑foot point and the A‑Net signal will be refreshed. Another 500 feet/150 meters of cable can be added. This process can be repeated as many times as required to extend cables.
For extremely long distance application, fiber optic cable can be used to span distances up to 50 miles (80km) with the use of devices called media converters. A media converter changes the Ethernet‑based A‑Net signal to fiber optical at the source location and then back to Cat‑5 at the destination. Several companies make media converters that can be used with your Aviom equipment.

Pro16 A‑Net input and output modules can be combined to create digital snakes and audio networks of up to sixty‑four audio channels with unlimited expansion. When more than sixteen channels of audio are required in a Pro16 system, there are several options available.
Systems using sixteen or thirty‑two audio channels can be configured with no additional hardware using the built in A‑Net Expansion port. For systems larger than thirty‑two channels, Aviom offers the AN‑16SBR System Bridge as an option. The System Bridge allows up to four A‑Net streams to be combined into a single Cat‑5e cable for distribution over long distances.

16-Channel Systems

The simplest form of digital snake using A‑Net devices is one input module connected to one output module. For example, the AN‑16/i‑M can be connected with one Cat‑5e cable to an AN‑16/o Output Module located at the mix position to deliver sixteen discreet line‑level audio signals to a front‑ of‑house (FOH) mixing console.
The flexibility of A‑Net allows far more than just the simple snake configuration outlined above, however. In fact, any number of Pro16 A‑Net devices can be connected to a single input module. This allows the creation of infinite numbers of signal splits, with each additional A‑Net device being located up to 500 feet (150 meters) away. Audio splits can be used to send digital copies of the audio signals from the input module to a live sound mixer, a recording system, remote broadcast truck, and a live television broadcast facility simultaneously with no signal degradation.
16 mic/line inputs are delivered to 4 output locations.

Aviom’s Pro16 Series of audio network products work in groups of sixteen channels. Audio networks of thirty‑two channels can be configured as:
32 channels send by zero channels return (32 x 0 )• 16 channels send by 16 channels return (16 x 16)• 0 channels send by 32 channels return (0 x 32)•
The descriptions above are similar to those used for traditional analog audio snakes. The configurations refer to the number of audio channels used as inputs on each side of the snake. For example, the “32” in the 32 x 0 configuration means that 32 audio inputs can be connected at the stage to send to the front‑of‑house mix position. The “0” means that on the there are no audio inputs being sent back to the stage from the front‑of‑house mix position.
A thirty‑two channel system is comprised of four Pro16 Series units, two Pro16 input modules (either the AN‑16/i or AN‑16/i‑M) and two AN‑16/o Output Modules. Since the system is modular, you can connect the Pro16 Series units as needed, making any of the configurations mentioned previously available at any time. Simply move and re‑patch the units.

A-Net Expansion

In a thirty‑two channel system, the A‑Net Expansion jack is used to combine two A‑Net data streams into a single steam that can travel down one cable. At the receiving end of the audio network, the A‑Net Expansion jack is used again to separate the data into individual 16‑channel data streams. The concept used for the Expansion port on A‑Net modules is similar to the AN‑16SBR System Bridge, described later in this document.

27AN-16 /i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r G u i d e
Some points to remember about using the A‑Net Expansion jacks on the Pro16 input modules and AN‑16/o to create a digital snake or audio network:
When creating a network with four Pro16 Series units, one • A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to an A‑Net In port while the other A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to an A‑Net Out port.
The A‑Net • Out jacks on the AN‑16/o Output Modules should be empty when only four Pro16 Series units are being used to create a network. These are then available for adding audio splits with additional AN‑16/o Output Modules or for connecting to a Personal Monitor Mixing System.
The cable connecting the two sides of the network (carry‑• ing thirty‑two channels of audio) should be connected to one A‑Net In port and one A‑Net Out port.
Do not connect Cat‑5e cables carrying expanded system • data (more than 16 channels) to an A‑16D A‑Net Distributor or A‑16II Personal Mixer.
The maximum cable length specification of 500 feet (150 • meters) applies to the length between an A‑Net In port and an A‑Net Out port. Cables used to connect devices via the A‑Net Expansion jacks must fall within this maximum distance.
An A‑Net Expansion port is never connected to another • A‑Net Expansion port.
The A‑Net Main Out on the AN‑16/i‑M is the only A‑Net jack • that works with the Expansion port.
In the following examples, either A-Net input module, the AN-16/i or the AN-16/i-M, can be used. Only one device is shown in the illustrations. They are referred to generically as “Pro16 input modules.”

This allows additional output modules to be added as needed to create digital splits for a variety of audio situations. Any Pro16 Series A‑Net compatible product can be added to an A‑Net Out port. This flexible routing scheme allows you to easily send audio to a variety of different locations, and to include Aviom’s Pro16 Monitor Mixing System for performers.
A 16 x 16 system with multiple splits
In this example, a 16 x 16 configuration has been expanded to include three additional AN‑16/o Output Modules on each side of the system, creating digital splits. Each AN‑16/o is connected via A‑Net using a Cat‑5e cable. Remember that the cable lengths between each A‑Net device can be up to 500 feet (150 meters) long.
To create an expanded network:
First start by configuring the network according to your • basic needs (either as 32 x 0 or 16 x 16).
Add additional AN‑16/o Output modules by connecting a • Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out port on one of the con‑ nected AN‑16/o Output Modules to the A‑Net In port on

the system. Each additional AN‑16/o that you want to add is connected •
by patching a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out jack on the module preceding it to its A‑Net In jack.

Using an A-Net Distributor

While the A‑16D and A‑16D Pro Distributors are not compatible with the data being generated by the A‑Net Expansion ports on the AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M and AN‑16/o, you can use a distributor to add wiring flexibility to your system.
Multiple splits are connected to an A-Net Distributor.
In this diagram, an A‑16D Distributor receives A‑Net from an AN‑16/o Output Module connected to a digital snake configured as 16 x 16. In the example, only audio channels 17‑32 are being redistributed to the additional A‑Net devices. From the A‑16D, up to eight Pro16 A‑Net devices can be connected. The diagram shows three AN‑16/o Output Modules connected. Each can provide sixteen discrete outputs.
An A‑16R rack mounted Personal Mixer is also shown connected to the Distributor as a personal monitor station. The A‑16R can be used to mix and monitor the same audio content in stereo. The Cat‑5e cable run between the AN‑16/o and the A‑16D Distributor can be up to 500 feet long, as can the cable from the A‑16D to each of the A‑Net devices connected to it.

When used with the optional AN‑16SBR System Bridge, Pro16 input and output modules can create digital snakes of up to sixty‑four channels. Up to four input modules and four output modules can be used in a variety of combinations to create a flexible and reconfigurable audio distribution network. Console cards can also be used as input modules.
Aviom’s Pro16 products work in modules Systems can be configured as:
64 channels send by zero channels return (64 x 0 )• 48 channels send by 16 channels return (48 x 16)• 32 channels send by 32 channels return (32 x 32)• 16 channels send by 48 channels return (16 x 48)• 0 channels send by 64 channels return (0 x 64)•
P No t e : When using the AN‑16SBR System Bridge to create a digital snake,
the Expansion jacks on the Pro16 input and output modules are not used.
System Bridge
The AN‑16SBR System Bridge is a two‑part accessory that takes in up to four A‑Net data streams and combines them for transmission. A single Cat‑5e cable can then be run to the destination. At the destination, another System Bridge is used to separate the A‑Net streams. The four separate A‑Net data streams can then be connected to Pro16 A‑Net compatible devices as needed.
The front and rear panels of the System Bridge
The System Bridge contains four A‑Net connector jacks, labeled A, B, C, and D. These accept standard Cat‑5e cables from individual Pro16 products.
The Bridge jack of the System Bridge can accept a standard Cat‑5e cable or one fitted with the EtherCon connector. The Bridge jack will always connect to another System Bridge’s connector of the same name.

Adding a System Bridge to a system is quite simple. Two System Bridges are used to create a network The four A‑Net connectors (labeled A, B, C, and D) on the one side of the network are directly related to the A, B, C, and D connectors on the other side of the network. That is, if you patch an AN‑16/i Input Module into port “A” on one side of a System Bridge, an AN‑16/o Output Module would be connected to port “A” on the other side of the System Bridge. See the following diagram.
This diagram shows the relationship of the A, B, C, and D ports on the AN-16SB.
A complete network using four units per side follows the same pattern. A Pro16 input module connected to port B on one side of the network connects to an AN‑16/o Output Module via port B on the other side of the network. The same goes for ports C and D, as seen in the following diagram.
A-Net por ts A, B, C, and D shown connected in a 64 x 0 net work configuration
To connect a 64 channel network (64 x 0):
On the Send side
Connect a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out of the first 1. Pro16 input module to port A on the first System Bridge.
Repeat this process to connect the A‑Net out from the 2. remaining three AN‑16/i or AN‑16/i‑M Input Modules to ports B, C, and D.
On the Receive side
Connect a Cat‑5e cable from port A on the second System 3. Bridge to the A‑Net In jack on the first AN‑16/o Output Module.

a Cat‑5e cable (with or without an EtherCon connector) between the Bridge jacks on the System Bridges.
To use other configurations, simply move any pair of input and output modules.
In the following example, the devices connected to port D on the AN‑16SBR System Bridge have been swapped to create a 48‑channel send x 16‑channel return system.
A 48 x 16 system is created by exchanging the units connec ted to port D on the System Bridge.
Remember, the total cable length between A‑Net devices should not exceed 500 feet. Cables used to connect A‑Net devices to the System Bridge are included in this calculation.

Configuration Notes

When configuring 64‑channel systems that send data in both directions, Aviom suggests the following module combinations. While not mandatory, these suggestions are made to accommodate the standard wiring practices that Ethernet cables use. Some wire pairs in a standard Ethernet Cat‑5e cable are not next to each other inside the jacket of the cable. This can account for slightly higher data errors in rare cases.
The configuration recommendations apply to systems configured as 16 x 48 and 32 x 32, not those sending data in only one direction. The module combinations are applicable especially when using long cable runs.

The total A‑Net cable length between devices is limited to 500 feet.

Expanding a Network

As mentioned in the section on 32‑channel systems, any available A‑Net Out jack on an A‑Net device can be used to expand an existing system. Any number of additional AN‑16/o Output Modules can be added, as can any number of A‑16II or A‑16R Personal Mixers. A‑Net Distributors (the A‑16D and
37AN-16 /i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
the A‑16D Pro) can also be used to expand a system.

The following example shows one variation of an expanded system.
One side of an expanded digi tal snake system
This example starts as a 64 x 0 configuration (the input side of the system is not shown in the diagram). Two of the outputs are expanded. Port A has two
AN‑16/o Output Modules added. Port D has two Output Modules which then feed an A‑16D A‑Net Distributor.
The A‑16D Distributor connects to five A‑16R rack mounted Personal Mixers for use as a monitor system for five musicians performing live. Then, another AN‑16/o Output Module is connected via a daisy chain to the last A‑16R.
Expansion of a system can continue as your needs require. Any available A‑Net Out can be used to connect to the A‑Net In on any compatible device.
Each A‑Net cable used can be up to 500 feet long, making this system capable of spanning long distances between rooms, floors, etc.

Using Multiple System Bridges

Expansion of a system can include multiple System Bridges. This allows audio to be fed to different locations as needed. Using multiple System Bridges follows the same connection rules as outlined previously. (Port A on one System Bridge always connects to Port A on another System Bridge, etc.)

A second set of System Bridges move another digital split of 64 channels of audio over one Cat-5e cable to another de stination.
The next example shows a complex network that combines A‑Net from two different networks.
