Audio Networks
Pro16 A‑Net input and output modules can be combined to create audio
networks of up to 64 audio channels with unlimited expansion.
8-Channel Systems
The most basic A‑Net based system uses one input module connected to one
output module or Personal Mixer. For example, the AV‑M8 can be connected
to an AN‑16/o Output Module to deliver eight discrete line‑level audio signals
to a mixing console, recording system, etc., or to an A‑16II, A‑16R, or AV‑P2 for
outputs as a mono or stereo signal.

Up to 16 Channels Out
A-Net, up to 500 feet
Connect A-Net Out on the AV-M8 to the A-Net In on any compatible device.
The eight audio channels from the AV-M8 appear as channels 1-8 on the
output module.
Digital Splits
A‑Net allows far more flexibility than just the simple configuration outlined
above. In fact, any number of Pro16 A‑Net devices can be connected to a
single input module. This allows the creation of infinite numbers of digital
signal splits, with each additional A‑Net device capable of being located up
to 500 feet (150 meters) away.
Splits can be used to send exact digital copies of the audio signals from the
input module to a live sound mixing console, a recording system, audio
machine room, and a live television broadcast facility simultaneously with no
signal degradation.
To add digital copies, or “splits,” to a system, simply connect an A‑Net Out
to the A‑Net In on Pro16 output modules or Personal Mixers. The following
diagram shows one such system using a variety of Pro16 devices connected
in series.
