Welcome Thank you for purchasing the Aviom A-16D A-Net® Distributor for use with the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System™ and Distributed Audio Networks products. This User Guide is designed to make the installation and setup of your new product quick and easy. Features The A-16D is designed to distribute the A-Net signal from any A-Net product including other A-16D Distributors via industry-standard Category 5e (Cat-5e) cables. Each A-16D accepts one A-Net input and provides eight simultaneous A-Net outputs.

Connecting the A-16D The A-16D is designed to create a network of A-Net devices. The A-Net signal appearing at the input of the A-16D is distributed to each of the eight outputs on the front panel. Devices are connected in parallel rather than in serial fashion. A-Net can span 500 feet (150 meters) between devices. Connections on the A-16D Front Panel There are two sets of A-Net connectors on the front of the A-16D Distributor. They are marked Input and Output.
a typical system, you will have your audio inputs connected to the audio input jacks on the rear of the input module (AN-16/i, AN-16/i-M, A-16T), or patched in the digital domain when using the Y1 card with a Yamaha digital mixing console. From the A-Net 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 Personal Mixer’s A-Net Output to the A-Net Input on the next Personal Mixer.
broadcast, cameras, etc. In fact, any combination of Personal Mixers and output modules can be used to create a hybrid system that includes both stereo personal monitoring and discreet channel distribution. A-Net devices can be up to 500 feet apart. In fact, to extend A-Net for a long cable run, use an A-16D between the devices. Each A-16D added to the system adds 500 feet of cable extension.
Note: The DC power supply plugged into the rear panel of the A-16D can power only one Personal Mixer. If you start a daisy chain from a Personal Mixer powered from an A-16D, the additional Personal Mixer units will need a source of DC power. Each Personal Mixer that is powered remotely no longer needs a power supply connected to its rear panel. If this happens accidently, however, note that you cannot harm the system. Expanding a System Any number of A-Net devices can be used in a system.
