Note that A-Net In is connected to A-Net Out on both pairs of modules in this 32 x 0 system.
The AV-P2 can be substituted for the output module that supplies channels 17-32 if desired. It cannot be substituted for the output module supplying channels 1-16 because the AV-P2 does not have the A-Net Expansion port.
16 Channels Send by 16 Channels Return
The 16 x 16 configuration has 16 inputs and 16 outputs on each side of the audio network.

Using this configuration, each side of the audio network has one input module and one Pro16 output module. Sixteen channels of audio move in each direction over a single Cat-5e cable.
The AV-P2 can be used to output channels 17-32 in this diagram. It cannot be substituted for the output module supplying channels 1-16 because the AV-P2 does not have the A-Net Expansion port.
Again, the A-Net Expansion port is used to combine the A-Net data from two devices for transmission over one Cat-5e cable.
Channels 17-32
To configure a 16 x 16 system:
1.Set up one input module (AV-M8, pair of AV-M8s, Y1 card, AN-16/i or AN-16/i-M) and one output module on each side of the network.
2.Connect 16 mic- or line-level audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the first Pro16 Series 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 first output module.
4.Plug a Cat-5e cable into the A-NetIn port on the first output module. This cable will be used to span up to 500 feet/150 meters between the two sides of the network.
5.Connect the cable from the A-NetIn port in Step 4 to the A-NetOut port on the second Pro16 Series input module.
6.Connect the second group of 16 audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the second Pro16 Series input module.
7.Connect a Cat-5e cable from the A-NetExpansion port on the second input module to A-NetIn on the second Pro16 output module.
8.Patch the audio outputs from the two output modules into the desired destinations.
Adding More Audio Outputs
As mentioned previously, the A-Net Out ports on AN-16/o and AV-P2 output modules and Personal Mixer products remain available even
