an AN‑16/o Output Module that you want to use to expand

the system.
Each additional AN‑16/o that you want to add is connected

by patching a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out jack on the

module preceding it to its A‑Net In jack.

Using an A-Net Distributor

While the A‑16D and A‑16D Pro Distributors are not compatible with the data

being generated by the A‑Net Expansion ports on the AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M and

AN‑16/o, you can use a distributor to add wiring flexibility to your system.

Multiple splits are connected to an A-Net Distributor.

In this diagram, an A‑16D Distributor receives A‑Net from an AN‑16/o Output

Module connected to a digital snake configured as 16 x 16. In the example,

only audio channels 17‑32 are being redistributed to the additional A‑Net

devices. From the A‑16D, up to eight Pro16 A‑Net devices can be connected.

The diagram shows three AN‑16/o Output Modules connected. Each can

provide sixteen discrete outputs.

An A‑16R rack mounted Personal Mixer is also shown connected to the

Distributor as a personal monitor station. The A‑16R can be used to mix and

monitor the same audio content in stereo. The Cat‑5e cable run between

the AN‑16/o and the A‑16D Distributor can be up to 500 feet long, as can the

cable from the A‑16D to each of the A‑Net devices connected to it.
