when creating a bidirectional audio network. This allows additional output modules to be added as needed to suit a variety of audio situations. Any Pro16 A-Net compatible product with an A-Net In can be connected to an A-Net Out port. This flexible routing scheme allows you to send audio to a variety of different locations and to include Aviom’s Pro16 Monitor Mixing System for mic applications.
to add is connected by patching a Cat-5e cable from A-NetOut to the new module’s A-NetIn port.
•Use AN-16/o or AV-P2 output modules as required by your application.

While the A-16D and A-16D Pro Distributors are not compatible with the data being distributed via the A-Net Expansion ports, you can use an A-16D to add wiring flexibility to your system.
As mentioned in the previous examples, an A-Net Distributor can be connected to any single A-Net Out port to allow parallel distribution of up to eight exact copies of the input data.
The total cable length between A-Net devices is limited to 500 feet, 150 meters.

Digital copies of each 16-channel output stream have been added.
In this example, a 16 x 16 network has been expanded to include three additional Pro16 output modules on each side of the network. You can use any combination of the AN-16/o or AV-P2 output modules.
Each output module is connected via A-Net using a Cat-5e cable. Remember that the cable lengths between each A-Net device can be up to 500 feet (150 meters) long.
To create an expanded network:
•First start by configuring the network according to your basic needs (either as 32 x 0, or as 16 x 16).
•Add additional Pro16 output modules by connecting a Cat-5e cable from the A-NetOut port on one of the connected modules to the A-NetIn port on a Pro16 output module that you want to use to expand the system.
•Each additional Pro16 output module that you want
