The A‑Net • Out ports on the Pro16 output modules should
be empty when only four Pro16 Series units are being used
to create a network. These ports are then available for
adding audio splits with additional Pro16 output modules,
or for connecting to a Personal Mixer product such as the
A‑16II or A‑16R.
The cable connecting the two halves of the network
•
(carrying 32 channels of audio) should be connected to
one A‑Net In port and one A‑Net Out port.
Do not connect Cat‑5e cables carrying expanded system
•
data (more than 16 channels) to an A‑Net Distributor or
Personal Mixer product.
The maximum cable length specification of 500 feet (150
•
meters) applies to the length between an A‑Net In port
and an A‑Net Out port. Cables used to connect devices via
the A‑Net Expansion ports must fall within this maximum
distance.
An A‑Net Expansion port is
• never connected to another
A‑Net Expansion port.
The A‑Net Main Out on the
• AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module
is the only A‑Net port that works with the Expansion port.
The A‑Net Aux output carries only local data.
32-Channel Examples
In the following examples, any Pro16 input module can be used. This includes
the AV‑M8, Y1 console interface card (for Yamaha products), third‑party
console interface card, AN‑16/I, or the AN‑16/i‑M. Only one device is shown in
the illustrations. They are referred to generically as “Pro16 Input Modules.”
A pair of AV‑M8 units cascaded via the ADAT link are shown in the diagram as
a single input module.
32 Channels Send
The 32 x 0 configuration has 32 audio inputs on one side of the audio network
and 32 audio outputs on the other side.
With this configuration, up to 32 analog audio (mic‑ or line‑level) signals are
connected as inputs to two Pro16 Input Modules. One input module contains
channels 1‑16, while the other has channels 17‑32.
