Using a Pro16 Input Device
When a single 16-channel Pro16 input device (including the original AN-16/i Input Module, AN-16/i-M
Mic Input Module, Y1 A-Net Card for Yamaha®, or the console cards built by Aviom partners that use the
Pro16 A-Net technology) is connected to an A360 Personal Mixer, stereo channels are mapped to adjacent
channel pairs. Odd-even adjacent mixer channels behave as one. For example, linking inputs 3-4 on an
Y1 A-Net Card will cause an A360 mixer’s channels 3 and 4 to light together when either is pressed. The
S
tereo
LED on the A360 will light and the Spread function is also available when the S
PreAD
button is
pressed.
The rear panel mode switch should be set to P
ro
16 for this application.
Using a Pro16e Input Device
When at least one Pro16e input device (such as the AN-16/i v.2) is used for inputs to the network, stereo
sources will be mapped to a single A360 channel button when the input device’s mono/stereo link switches
are set to stereo. This is especially powerful when systems use multiple input devices* to get 32 inputs or
higher (up to 64 maximum). As with the Pro16 input device example above, the S
tereo
LED on the A360 will
light when a stereo channel is selected, and the Spread function will be available when the S
PreAD
button
is pressed. When the A360 is receiving the enhanced Pro16e version of A-Net in a system of 32 or higher
inputs, the rear-panel mode switch should be in the D
efAult
or C
uStom
position.
If a single AN-16/i v.2 Input Module is used to create a personal mixing system of 16 inputs or less, the A360
rear-panel mode switch should be set to P
ro
16 so that even-numbered mono channels are not ignored.
Remember, the A360 treats the odd-even channel pairs on the AN-16/i v.2 as a stereo left/right input when
the A360 is set to D
efAult
mode and will ignore the right side input if the stereo/mono link switch on the
input device is set to m
oNo
.
* When at least one AN-16/i v.2 is used to create a system with multiple input devices, the first 16 channels
of the network may come from any device that outputs the Pro16 version of A-Net including: the original
AN-16/i, AN-16/i-M, AV-M8, Y1 A-Net Card, partner console cards, or the Pro64 ASI A-Net Systems Interface.
Stereo links for the ASI are set from the front panel of Pro64 I/O devices or by using the Pro64 Network
Manager software.
