Aviom Pro64 User Manual
AUDIO NETWORKING
®
& DIGITAL SNAKES
The Pro64® Series modular audio networking devices combine Aviom’s
plug-and-play simplicity with unsurpassed system exibility and audio
performance. With sub-millisecond latency and revolutionary clocking
algorithms, the Pro64 Series provides a unique combination of
simplicity and performance and makes audio networking a
practical and cost-e ective solution for a wide range
of both portable and xed installation applications.
“We consider the choice of Aviom’s Pro64
Series and the implementation of the system
to be a complete success on all levels. The
system is transparent.”
-Shawn Parr
Sound Design Faculty, NSULA

EXCEPTIONAL AUDIO FIDELITY
The Pro64 Series uses the Pro64 version of A -Net®, Aviom’s
groundbreaking digital audio networking technology developed speci cally for the unique demands of transporting
high delity audio simply and reliably. Pro64 A-Net protects
the integrity of the audio signals and ensures consistently
outstanding audio delity.
SIMPLIFIED CONNECTIVITY
With the Pro64 Series, system design, installation, and operation are all streamlined, even if your needs change over time.
Pro64 A-Net eliminates directional limitations on signal ow,
allowing you to place inputs and outputs where you want
and to connect devices in the most e cient manner, using
any combination of parallel and serial topolgies. Systems
can be recon gured and redesigned at any time—without
complex reprogramming or rewiring.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
Pro64 Series products provide premium build quality and
exceptional durability. Pro64 audio networks and digital
snakes have withstood the abuse of extreme conditions from
race course to ski slope to football eld, as well as the wear
and tear of everyday use on tour, on set, and in performance
halls, studios, schools, churches, and more.
All Aviom products are designed,
manufactured, and suppor ted in the USA.

A CLOSER LOOK AT
PRO64 SYSTEM DESIGN
SIMPLIFIED AUDIO NETWORKING
Each Pro64 audio channel is routed through the network in an A-Net Slot,
which reserves dedicated network bandwidth for a given channel. Without
any IP addressing or signal routing, every active signal is automatically available everywhere in the network. In addition, each Pro64 I/O device includes
a full crosspoint switch, so any audio channel can be placed anywhere in the
network stream, removing the need for physical patching or addressing.
BIDIRECTIONAL SERIAL & PARALLEL CONNECTIONS
Pro64 systems can utilize any combination of serial and parallel wiring
topologies. Pro64’s Auto Mode ensures the simplest and most reliable signal
distribution, without restricting signal ow or imposing directional limitations.
This allows you to put devices where you need them and to connect them in
the most cost-e ective and e cient manner for your job or installation.
CAT-5E OR FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIVITY
Pro64 A-Net supports Cat-5e cable runs up to 400ft/120m between
each device—nearly 100 feet longer than standard Ethernet-based
technologies. In addition, serial runs can be extended across hundreds
of devices without perceptible signal degradation.
For systems that require longer cable runs, the Pro64 Series integrates
single- or multi-mode ber optic connectivity via the MH10f Merger
Hub and F6 Modular I/O Frame, allowing you to switch seamlessly
between Cat-5e and ber optic connections as needed.
“It’s a good solution for an educational environment.
The system can do a lot, but it’s still easy to manage.”
Shen Milsom & Wilke
INTUITIVE HARDWARE CONTROL
All Pro64 standard rack-mounted I/O devices feature intuitive front-panel
user interfaces that allow you to set up an entire network in a few simple
steps, without navigating menus and without mastering complex programming rules. Pro64 mic preamps and presets can also be controlled remotely
from anywhere in the network, using the handheld MCS Mic Control Surface,
or directly from most Yamaha digital consoles, using Pro64’s integrated
m-control™.
-Randy Tritz
CENTRALIZED PC-BASED SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
In addition, the Pro64 Network Manager™ PC control application
provides centralized control of any device in the Pro64 system, as well as
the ability to name channels and devices, matrix audio channels to any
available A-Net Slot, save and recall device presets and network scenes,
and monitor system status.
INTEGRATING AVIOM PERSONAL MIXERS
With the addition of the ASI A-Net Systems Interface, Pro16® Series Personal
Mixers, network devices, and output modules can be added to any Pro64
system. The ASI allows you to combine the powerful features of the Pro64
Series—remote control preamps, PC-based system management, the most
advanced clocking algorithms, and matrixing—with the simplicity and
control of the Pro16 Series.
