Channel Mapping on the A360
To accommodate the higher channel count provided by Pro16e A-Net, the A360 maps network channels
to mixer buttons. More sophisticated algorithms are required for managing the default routing of Pro16e
channels from input modules to A360 Personal Mixers, particularly to avoid unexpected results when
channels are switched from stereo to mono (or vice versa) at an input module.
Stereo Input Channels
For Pro16e systems using the default channel mapping on A360 mixers, input module channels should
generally be viewed as channel pairs, similar to a stereo channel on a mixing console or DAW. Thus
channel 1 and channel 2 on an input module are the left and right halves of what will become channel
button 1 on an A360 Personal Mixer. (Input channels 3 and 4 map to A360 channel button 2, channels 5
and 6 to A360 channel button 3, and so on.)

Inputs are treated as stereo pairs; audio sources connected to input jacks 3 and 4 become the second stereo pair when
linked. They map to channel button 2 on an A360 Personal Mixer.
To link a pair of input channels on an AN-16/i v.2 move the front panel Mono/Stereo switch to the S
tereO
position. The link is instantly transmitted throughout the network to all devices. Link switches may be
changed at any time; updates are immediate. Remember that the input devices control the stereo linking;
Personal Mixers cannot link channels locally.
