One AV-M8 is shown connected to four A-Net devices.

Remember that the AV‑M8 is an 8‑channel device. In the diagram above, only

channels 1‑8 on the Pro16 output devices will have audio signals present.

Cascading two AV‑M8 modules with the ADAT link will provide 16 channels.

Combining Two AV-M8 Modules

To create a single 16‑channel A‑Net stream, two AV‑M8 units can be

Two AV-M8 units can be combined to send a single 16-channel A-Net stream

the other a secondary device. The primary AV‑M8 will be the one on which

the A‑Net Out port is used. There are no switches or software to configure;
