The F6 is a modular I/O frame for the AllFrame Multi-Modular I/O
System™. Utilizing the F6 and digitizing the signals at the wall or
floor connection panel eliminates the need for multiple large conduit runs filled with analog wire, as well as the labor associated with
dressing, terminating, and testing analog connections.
As part of the AllFrame Multi-Modular I/O System, the F6 can be
integrated into a system in a number of ways. When housed in a
standard NEMA Type 1 enclosure, along with other A/V and electrical services required for an installation, the F6 can be mounted on
or in the wall, in standard 16”-centers studded walls, and dressed
with custom plates as desired. (Minimum suggested backing box
size: 12 x 14 x 4 in.) Using the optional RK6 Rack Kit, the F6 can also
be mou nted front- or rear- faci ng in a st anda rd 19” rac k (6U r equired).
The SK6 Stage Kit may be used to provide added protection to
the F6 for on-stage use.
The F6 can be outfitted with up to six I/O cards, for a maximum of 24
in a nd 24 o ut. C ards are availab le fo r mic /lin e inputs, a nalo g outputs,
and AES3 digital I/O. Cards can be configured by the user, allowing
the F6 to adapt easily to a changing audio environment.
Connecting the F6 to the Pro64 network requires only an A-Net cable
(Cat-5e/Cat-6 or fiber) and DC power (no power supply is included).
Power may be provided via the Cat-5 cable, using an approved
Power Over A-Net (PoA) power supply such as the Aviom POA80, or
on the Euroblock or four-pin XLR connector.
The F6 and its I/O cards are configured using the Pro64 Network
Manager™ control application and can be used in conjunction with
Aviom’s complete line of Pro64 audio networking products as well
as Pro16® Series personal mixers, output modules, and network
devices. Mic preamp channels can be remote controlled from the
software application, from a Pro64 RCI/MCS combination, or from
Yamaha® devices using m-control™.
Because Aviom’s Pro64 audio network offers unique advantages
both in audio performance and in systemic flexibility, integrating
the F6 into an installation is straightforward and free from compromise in audio fidelity. The Pro64 network supports any combination
of parallel and serial connections without fidelity loss or directional
limitations, so connection points can be placed wherever needed
in a particular facility.
