32-Channel Systems
Aviom’s Pro16 Series of audio network products work in groups of sixteen
channels. Audio networks of thirty‑two channels can be configured as:
32 channels send by zero channels return (32 x 0 ) •
16 channels send by 16 channels return (16 x 16) •
0 channels send by 32 channels return (0 x 32) •
The descriptions above are similar to those used for traditional analog
audio snakes. The configurations refer to the number of audio channels
used as inputs on each side of the snake. For example, the “32” in the 32 x
0 configuration means that 32 audio inputs can be connected at the stage
to send to the front‑of‑house mix position. The “0” means that on the there
are no audio inputs being sent back to the stage from the front‑of‑house mix
position.
A thirty‑two channel system is comprised of four Pro16 Series units, two Pro16
input modules (either the AN‑16/i or AN‑16/i‑M) and two AN‑16/o Output
Modules. Since the system is modular, you can connect the Pro16 Series units
as needed, making any of the configurations mentioned previously available
at any time. Simply move and re‑patch the units.
A-Net Expansion
In a thirty‑two channel system, the A‑Net Expansion jack is used to combine
two A‑Net data streams into a single steam that can travel down one cable.
At the receiving end of the audio network, the A‑Net Expansion jack is used
again to separate the data into individual 16‑channel data streams. The
concept used for the Expansion port on A‑Net modules is similar to the
AN‑16SBR System Bridge, described later in this document.
