Adding an A-Net 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, AN‑16/i‑M, and
AN‑16/o, you can use an A‑16D (or A‑16D Pro) A‑Net Distributor 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 A‑Net Distributor receives A‑Net from
an AN‑16/o Output Module connected to a digital snake configured as 16 x
16. Only audio channels 17‑32 are being redistributed to the additional A‑Net
devices.
From the A‑Net Distributor, up to eight parallel 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‑Net
Distributor to the A‑Net devices connected to it.
