64-Channel Pro16 Systems
When used with the optional AN‑16SBR System Bridge, the AN‑16/i and
AN‑16/i‑M Input Modules along with the AN‑16/o Output Module can create
audio networks of up to sixty‑four channels. Up to four Pro16 input modules
and four output modules can be used in a variety of combinations to create a
flexible and reconfigurable audio distribution network.
Aviom’s Pro16 audio network products work in modules of sixteen channels.
Audio networks of up to sixty‑four channels can be configured as:
64 channels send by zero channels return (64 x 0 ) •
48 channels send by 16 channels return (48 x 16) •
32 channels send by 32 channels return (32 x 32) •
16 channels send by 48 channels return (16 x 48) •
0 channels send by 64 channels return (0 x 64) •
The AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module can be substituted for any AN‑16/i shown in
the following diagrams. Use the AN‑16/i‑M to add up to sixteen microphone
signals per module to an audio network. Digital console interface
cards—including the Y1 card for Yamaha and those made by third‑party
manufacturers that support A‑Net—can be substituted for input modules in
the diagrams that follow.

: When using the System Bridge to create a network, the Expansion
jacks on the AN‑16/i and AN‑16/o are not used.
System Bridge
The AN‑16SBR System Bridge (and its predecessor, the AN‑16SB) is a two‑
part accessory that takes in up to four individual A‑Net data streams at one
location and combines them for transmission over a single Cat‑5e cable. At
the destination, another AN‑16SBR is used to separate the A‑Net streams. The
separate A‑Net data streams can then be connected to A‑Net compatible
devices as needed.
