device called an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as

long as you do not exceed the specified maximum cable length). If

you need a longer cable on occasion, this is a simple solution. Note

that it is possible that the maximum cable length specification can be

compromised by using inline couplers. Inline couplers are available at

most computer outlets.

About A-Net

Aviom’s A-Net is a high-speed data transmission protocol. It is capable

of sending and receiving high-quality audio using readily available

Category 5 cables. The A-Net technology is a proprietary system

developed by Aviom.

A-Net is based on Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN)

technology. This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on

which to build.

As used in the Monitor Mixing System, the A-Net signal carries

sixteen channels of digital data from the A-Net input module to each

and every Personal Mixer connected to the system.

Some of the benefits of using A-Net to transmit digital audio are:

• Virtually no latency
• No ground loops
• Easy cabling using readily available components
• An unlimited number of Personal Mixers can be used

in a monitoring system

• Ease in spanning long distances between system

components

Note: While the Category 5 cables and connectors used

on your Aviom products look like typical computer

network connections, do not connect computers,

routers, or other home and business networking

equipment to your Aviom products.
