About A-Net

Aviom’s A-Net is a high-speed 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 A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System, the A-Net signal carries
sixteen channels of digital data from the A-16T Transmitter to each and every Personal
Mixer connected to the system.

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

• No 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 components

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.
