To expand a Pro16 network:
First start by configuring the network according to your •
basic needs (either as 32 x 0 or 16 x 16).
Add additional AN‑16/o Output modules by connecting a
•
Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out port on one of the con‑
nected AN‑16/o Output Modules to the A‑Net In port on
an AN‑16/o Output Module that you want to use to expand
the system.
Each additional AN‑16/o that you want to add is connected
•
by patching a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out jack on the
module preceding it to its A‑Net In jack.
Adding an A-16D Distributor
While the A‑16D A‑Net Distributor is not compatible with the data being
generated by the A‑Net Expansion ports on the AN‑16/i and AN‑16/o, you
can use an A‑16D (or A‑16D Pro) to add wiring flexibility to your system.

A-Net distributors can be used to add digital splits to a system.
In this diagram, an A‑16D or A‑16D Pro Distributor receives A‑Net from an
AN‑16/o Output Module connected to a network configured as 16 x 16. In the
example, only audio channels 17‑32 are being redistributed to the additional
A‑Net devices. From the A‑16D, up to eight A‑Net devices can be connected.
The diagram shows three AN‑16/o Output Modules connected. Each can
provide sixteen line‑level outputs. Also, an A‑16R rack mounted Personal
Mixer is shown. The A‑16R can be used to mix and monitor the same audio
content in stereo. The Cat‑5e cable run between the AN‑16/o and the A‑Net
Distributor can be up to 500 feet long, as can the cable from the A‑16D to the
A‑Net devices connected to it.
