SB4 System Bridge
The SB4 System Bridge allows up to 64 channels of Pro16 digital audio data to be transferred
over a single Cat-5e cable. It can be used with the D800 A-Net Distributor as part of a personal
mixing system, or combined with Pro16 I/O modules to create a digital snake.

Pro16e Personal Mixing Applications
When used with a D800 or D800-Dante A-Net Distributor, a single SB4 System Bridge allows digital console
users to combine up to four synchronous Pro16 A-Net streams from digital console cards. The A-N

up to 64 input sources for use with A360 Personal Mixers.
Digital Snake Applications
The SB4 System Bridge is designed to allow Pro16 I/O products (such as the AN-16/i -M Mic Input Module
and AN-16/o Output Module) to be used together to create a digital snake or audio network with up to
64 inputs. When configuring a Pro16 digital snake system, two SB System Bridges are used to connect up
to four I/O pairs of compatible Pro16 devices, which are typically located on the stage and at the front-of-
house mix position, using just one Cat-5 cable between the two locations.
