will be connected to an A-Net Out port.

• The A-Net Out ports on the Pro16 output modules

should be empty when only four Pro16 Series units are

being used to create a network. These ports are then

Audio channels 1-16

available for adding audio splits with additional Pro16

output modules, or for connecting to a Personal Mixer

product such as the A-16II or A-16R.

• The cable connecting the two halves of the network

(carrying 32 channels of audio) should be connected

to one A-Net In port and one A-Net Out port.

Distributor or Personal Mixer product.

• 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 ports 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 Mic Input

Module is the only A-Net port that works with the

Expansion port. The A-Net Aux output carries only

local data.

32-Channel Examples

In the following examples, any Pro16 input module can be used. This includes the AV-M8, Y1 console interface card (for Yamaha products), D-16c console interface card (for DiGiCo products), AN-16/i, or the AN-16/i-M. Only one device is shown in the illustrations. They are referred to generically as “Pro16 input modules.”

A pair of AV-M8 units cascaded via the ADAT link are shown in the diagram as a single input module.

32 Channels Send by Zero Channels Return

The 32 x 0 configuration has 32 audio inputs on one side of the audio network and 32 audio outputs on the other side.

With this configuration, up to 32 analog audio (mic- or line-level) signals are connected as inputs to two Pro16 input modules. One input module contains channels 1-16, while the other has channels 17-32.

Two Pro16 output devices are connected on the receive side of the audio network. In the diagram, any Pro16 output device can be used. This includes A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers, as well as AN-16/o and AV-P2 output modules.

To configure a 32 x 0 system:

1.Connect the first 16 mic- or line-level audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the first Pro16 input module.

2.Connect the second group of 16 audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the second Pro16 input module.

3.Connect a Cat-5e cable from the A-NetOut port on the first input module to the A-NetExpansion port on the second input module.

4.Connect a cable from the A-NetOut port on the second Pro16 Series input module and run it to the destination where the Pro16 output modules are located. Plug it into the A-NetIn port on the first output module.

5.Connect a Cat-5e cable from the A-NetExpansion port on the first output module to A-NetIn on the second output module.

6.Patch the audio outputs from the two output modules into the desired destinations.

Remember that the maximum cable length between A-Net devices is 500 feet (150 meters). Always use Cat-5e UTP cable.

The diagram that follows shows a pair of 16-channel Pro16 input modules used for audio input channels 1-16 and 17-32, connected to a pair of output modules.
