You can connect a Personal Monitor Mixing System in a variety of ways.
In a typical system, audio inputs will be connected to the Input jacks on the
rear of the A-Net Input Module, such as an AN-16/i, or
routed internally in
the digital domain from a mixer’s control surface when using a
Y1
Yamaha
Output Card. From the input module, the A-Net output is connected to
the first Personal Mixer in the system. Each subsequent Personal Mixer is
connected by running a cable from the Mixer’s A-Net Output to the A-Net
Input on the next Personal Mixer. This type of connection is called a
daisy
chain
.
When using the A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor, the
daisy chain linking of
Personal Mixers is optional. Up to eight Personal Mixers can be connected
directly to the
A-Net outputs on the front of the A-16D Pro.

Connect the A-Net Output on the input module to the A-Net
Input on the A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor using a Category

cable length
between compatible components can be up to 500 feet (150
meters) long.
