A-Net Slot
Pro64 I/O devices come in a variety of configurations. To allow a large
number of hardware audio input devices to be available to the Pro64 audio
network, Aviom has implemented the concept of the A‑Net Slot to simplify
the configuration of potentially complex audio networks.
A Pro64 audio network will always have a finite number of A‑Net Slots
available that can be addressed by an unlimited number of hardware
channels. The actual number of available Slots is determined by the current
sample rate.
Slots versus Channels
You might be wondering why Aviom chose to refer to the audio I/O resources
in the Pro64 Series products as ‘’Slots.” Why not just call them “channels”?
We did this to avoid confusion between references to hardware audio
resources and network audio resources. The word ‘’channel’’ is ambiguous
and may cause confusion when configuring an audio network. “Channel”
appears in many contexts, including audio mixing consoles, mic preamps,
DSP processors, and DAW software.
We use the word ‘’channel’’ when referring to the physical audio inputs—
