D800 A-Net Distributor
Aviom’s series of D800 A-Net® Distributors provides support for parallel connections of up to
eight Pro16® devices, including the A360, A-16II, and A-16R Personal Mixers.
Overview
Two versions of the D800 are available. The standard D800 includes a Pro16e™ A-Net input, compatible
with all Pro16 Series and Pro16e-capable devices. This input port also supports an A-Net Bridge input,
allowing up to four synchronous Pro16 A-Net streams to be connected. Used in conjunction with the SB4
System Bridge and Pro16 A-Net console cards, the D800 can be used for sending up to 64 channels directly
from a digital console to A360 Personal Mixers.
The D800-Dante A-Net Distributor adds connectivity for a Dante™ digital audio network, allowing up to 64
channels to be sent directly from a Dante audio network to A360 Personal Mixers. The D800-Dante may be
set to use either its Dante interface or its A-Net In as the source of audio for the Personal Mixers.

All versions of the D800 A-Net Distributor include a Mixes Out port for the A360’s Network Mix Back™
feature. The D800 creates a 16-channel Pro16e A-Net stream comprised of the eight stereo mixes from
connected A360 Personal Mixers. No setup or routing is required at the D800 or the A360. By connecting
the Mixes Out port on the D800 to an AN-16/o v.4 Output Module, these stereo mixes can be connected
to the transmitter units for the musicians’ wireless in-ear monitors, eliminating the need for analog cables
from the A360s to the transmitters and keeping all analog connections off stage. On the D800-Dante,
Network Mix Back audio is also available to the Dante network.
All versions of the D800 include a rear-panel Ethernet port, which can be connected to a standard Wi-Fi
router. By connecting an iOS device—Apple® iPhone®, iPod touch®, or iPad®—to the Wi-Fi network,
musicians can extend the user interface of their A360 onto their device’s touchscreen.
An unlimited number of D800 and D800-Dante A-Net Distributors can be used in an A-Net network, and
all versions of the D800 are compatible with all Pro16 Series devices.
