The diagrams that follow use generic input and output module icons. Any
Pro64 I/O device can be substituted unless otherwise noted. Connect the RCI
at any convenient location in the diagrams that follow to provide a monitor
station and remote control of 6416m mic preamp parameters.
Auto Mode Connections
In Auto Mode, the 6416m’s A‑Net ports on the rear panel can be connected
to other Pro64 devices interchangeably. In the following examples, network
performance and functionality are unaffected by the changes in cabling.

The A-Net cable can be connected to either Port A or Port B. Reversing the
A-Net connections causes the same results. Either port can be used to
expand the network.
Up to 16 inputs can be activated on the 6416m Mic Input Module. Other
Pro64 devices can be connected using either Port A or Port B to expand the
network. In both cases, the active channels will be available at the output
module.
Remember that the entire 64‑channel A‑Net stream (at 48kHz) is always
received and transmitted through every Pro64 module. The A‑Net Slot
Transmit or Receive settings simply tune a module in to a specific range of
Slots within the network.
When using remote control via the RCI and MCS, the RCI can be connected to
any open A‑Net port.
