A-Net Out
The A-N

jack is used to connect the incoming digital A‑Net data to
another A‑Net device. This will send the same sixteen audio channels being
used by the AN‑16/o Output Module to the next A‑Net device, creating
a digital split. An unlimited number of A‑Net devices can be connected in
series using this method. Any A‑Net device, including the A‑16D or A‑16D Pro
A‑Net Distributors can be connected here.
A-Net Expansion
The A-N
et

jack is used when a 32‑channel system is created by using
two AN‑16/i (or AN‑16/i‑M) Input Modules and two AN‑16/o Output Modules.
Using A‑Net Expansion allows thirty‑two channels of audio to travel down a
single Cat‑5 cable, up to the maximum of 500 feet, 150 meters.
Audio Outputs
The DB25 multipin outputs on the rear of the AN‑16/o Output Module can be
used with any device that can accept a mic‑ or line‑level audio output, such
as mixing consoles, wireless transmitters, recording devices, and powered
speaker systems.
A-Net Connections
In a simple Pro16 system, the easiest connection method uses what is called a
daisy chain. That is, each A‑Net device is connected in series. The first device
in the chain receives the A‑Net signal from the Pro16 input module such as
the AN‑16/i Input Module or a compatible Pro16 console card. Each successive
A‑Net compatible device gets its A‑Net connection from the A‑Net Out jack
of the device preceding it in the chain.
