Conventions Used in this Document

Button Presses

When indicating a button on the front panel of the A‑16II Personal Mixer, a
special typeface is used. For example, “when selecting a Preset, press the
Re c a l l button, followed by a numbered button”.

Using Personal Mixers

It is possible to create an audio distribution and personal monitor system
using any combination of Aviom AN‑Series and Personal Mixer products,
including the A‑16II, and A‑16R.

When referring to the use of the personal mixers in a system in general, the
terms A-16II Mixer or Personal Mixer are used to describe a case where a
standard A‑16II Personal Mixer or a rack mounted A‑16R Personal Mixer (with/
without the optional A‑16CS Control Surface) can be used.

Cat-5 Cables

In most cases Cat‑5e, Cat‑6, and Cat‑6e cables can be interchanged. When
speaking about interconnections between components in a system, the
term Cat-5 is used generically to indicate the use of any of the applicable
cable types.

A-Net Distributors

The A‑16D and A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributors are referred to generically as
A-Net Distributors.

Compatibility

The AV‑M8 can be used in a Pro16 system with the following Pro16 products:

• AV‑P2 Output Module

• AN‑16/o Output Module

• A‑16R Personal Mixer

• A‑16II Personal Mixer

A‑16D A‑Net Distributor •
A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributor •
Y1 • A‑Net card for use with Yamaha® consoles

• AN‑16/i Input Module

• AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module

• AN‑16SBR System Bridge

The AV‑M8 is also compatible with all third‑party products that support the
Pro16 A‑Net specification.

P No t e : The AV‑M8 cannot be connected to Pro64® products or systems

using the Pro64® A‑Net specification.

7Av-M8 Mi c i np u t Mo d u l e us e r G ui d e

Pro16 Series Systems

A complete Pro16 Series audio network system consists of at least one Pro16
input module connected to a Pro16 output device such as the AN‑16/o Output
Module, AV‑P2 Output Module, or A‑16II Personal Mixer. Many configurations
are possible by using additional input modules and/or Personal Mixers and
output modules.

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.

As used in the Pro16 series products, the A‑Net signal carries sixteen
channels of digital data from the Pro16 input module (AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M, or
compatible console card) to each A‑Net device connected to the system.

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.

8Av-M8 Mi c i np u t Mo d u l e us e r G ui d e

Compatibility with Pro64

RJ45 Jack Cat-5 Cable

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 Category 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.

The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone
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.

9Av-M8 Mi c i np u t Mo d u l e us e r G ui d e

Cat-5 Cables

The cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any
standard Category 5e (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 Category 5e cables, Category 6 (Cat‑6 and Cat‑6e)
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. A crossover
cable is not compatible with your Aviom equipment.

Cable Lengths

Cat‑5e cables used with your Aviom products can be up to 500 feet (150
meters) in length between devices. The maximum cable length specification
applies to the cable connected between the A‑Net input module and the
first Pro16 output device (such as an A‑16II Personal Mixer) in your system
as well as for cable runs between each additional Pro16 A‑Net compatible
device in your system.
