Parallel Connections
Parallel connections avoid some of the pitfalls of a serially-connected system. Each A-Net device is directly connected to a data source instead of depending upon the previous user in a daisy chain for data delivery.

About Pro16 A-Net
A-Net is Aviom’s proprietary high-speed data transmission protocol designed specifically to transport uncompressed high fidelity streaming audio in real time over inexpensive Cat-5e cabling.
A-Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, which provides Pro16 A-Net a mature and robust base on which to build. However, Aviom products are not compatible with off-the-shelf computer products designed for Ethernet networks such as hubs and switches.
A-Net as implemented in Pro16 products transports sixteen channels of digital audio (48kHz, 24-bit) from the Y1 card to each Personal Mixer or AN-16/o Output Module connected to the system. An unlimited number of Pro16 A-Net devices can be connected to a system. A-Net’s proprietary design delivers ultra-low latency (less than 1 msec) in all configurations.
