About A-Net

Aviom’s A-Net is an ultra-fast data transmission protocol. It is capable of

sending and receiving high-quality audio using readily available Category 5

cables. The A-Net technology is a proprietary system developed by Aviom.

A-Net is based on Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology.

This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on which to build.

As used in your Personal Monitor Mixing System, the A-Net signal carries

sixteen channels of digital data from the A-Net input module to each and

every Personal Mixer connected to the system.

Some of the benefits of using A-Net to transmit digital audio are:

• Sub-millisecond latency
• No ground loops
• Easy cabling using readily available components
• An unlimited number of Personal Mixers can be used in a

system

• Ease in spanning long distances between system compo-

nents

Note: While the Category 5 cables and connectors used on your Aviom

products look like typical computer network connections, do not

connect computers, routers, or other home and business networking

equipment to your Aviom products.
