Two Pro16 input modules configured as 32 x 0

Two Pro16 output devices are connected on the receive side of the
audio network. In the diagram, any Pro16 output device can be used.
This includes A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers, as well as AN-16/o and
AV-P2 output modules.

To configure a 32 x 0 system:

Connect the first 16 mic- or line-level audio sources to
inputs 1-16 on the first Pro16 input module.
Connect the second group of 16 audio sources to
inputs 1-16 on the second Pro16 input module.
Connect a Cat-5e cable from the A-N

Patch the audio outputs from the two output modules
into the desired destinations.

Remember that the maximum cable length between A-Net devices is
500 feet (150 meters). Always use Cat-5e UTP cable.

The diagram that follows shows a pair of 16-channel Pro16 input
modules used for audio input channels 1-16 and 17-32, connected to a
pair of output modules.

will be connected to an A-Net Out port.
The A-Net Out ports on the Pro16 output modules
should be empty when only four Pro16 Series units are
being used to create a network. These ports are then
available for adding audio splits with additional Pro16
output modules, or for connecting to a Personal Mixer
product such as the A-16II or A-16R.
The cable connecting the two halves of the network
(carrying 32 channels of audio) should be connected
to one A-Net In port and one A-Net Out port.
Do not connect Cat-5e cables carrying expanded
system data (more than 16 channels) to an A-Net
Distributor or Personal Mixer product.
The maximum cable length specification of 500 feet
(150 meters) applies to the length between an A-Net
In port and an A-Net Out port. Cables used to connect
devices via the A-Net Expansion ports must fall within
this maximum distance.
An A-Net Expansion port is never connected to another
A-Net Expansion port.
The A-Net Main Out on the AN-16/i-M Mic Input
Module is the only A-Net port that works with the
Expansion port. The A-Net Aux output carries only
local data.

32-Channel Examples

In the following examples, any Pro16 input module can be used. This
includes the AV-M8, Y1 console interface card (for Yamaha products),
D-16c console interface card (for DiGiCo products), AN-16/i, or the
AN-16/i-M. Only one device is shown in the illustrations. They are
referred to generically as “Pro16 input modules.”

A pair of AV-M8 units cascaded via the ADAT link are shown in the
diagram as a single input module.

32 Channels Send by Zero Channels Return

The 32 x 0 configuration has 32 audio inputs on one side of the audio
network and 32 audio outputs on the other side.

With this configuration, up to 32 analog audio (mic- or line-level) signals
are connected as inputs to two Pro16 input modules. One input module
contains channels 1-16, while the other has channels 17-32.
