Expanding a Network with an A-Net Distributor

While the A-16D and A-16D Pro Distributors are not compatible with the
data being distributed via the A-Net Expansion ports, you can use an
A-16D to add wiring flexibility to your system.

As mentioned in the previous examples, an A-Net Distributor can be
connected to any single A-Net Out port to allow parallel distribution of
up to eight exact copies of the input data.

The total cable length between A-Net devices is limited to 500 feet, 150
meters.

when creating a bidirectional audio network. This allows additional
output modules to be added as needed to suit a variety of audio
situations. Any Pro16 A-Net compatible product with an A-Net In can be
connected to an A-Net Out port. This flexible routing scheme allows you
to send audio to a variety of different locations and to include Aviom’s
Pro16 Monitor Mixing System for mic applications.

Digital copies of each 16-channel output stream have been added.

In this example, a 16 x 16 network has been expanded to include three
additional Pro16 output modules on each side of the network. You can
use any combination of the AN-16/o or AV-P2 output modules.

Each output module is connected via A-Net using a Cat-5e cable.
Remember that the cable lengths between each A-Net device can be up
to 500 feet (150 meters) long.

To create an expanded network:

First start by configuring the network according to
your basic needs (either as 32 x 0, or as 16 x 16).
