There is one drawback to this connection method, however. If one A‑Net
device in the chain is disconnected from the A‑Net signal chain, all units
beyond this point will not get any audio until the unit is reconnected to a
valid A‑Net source.
A parallel A‑Net connection solves that problem. By using the optional A‑16D
or A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributor, parallel A‑Net connections are possible. In
fact, any combination of series and parallel connections can be used to solve
even the most complex audio routing problems.
Parallel A-Net Routing
Connecting A‑Net devices in parallel involves the addition of an A‑Net
distributor. Any number of A‑Net distributors can be added, creating an
infinite number of digital splits.

A variety of A-Net compatible components are shown connected in parallel
to an A-Net Distributor (either the A-16D or A-16D Pro). The A-Net signal from
the Distributor is connected to each A-Net compatible device with a Cat-5e
cable. Removing one A-Net device has no effect on the other A-Net outputs
being used.
When configuring an A‑Net system, Pro16 modules can be connected in any
order; simply connect A‑Net Out to A‑Net In as needed.
