A-Net Out and A-Net In
The A‑Net Out jack on the A‑16R is used to connect another Pro16 A‑Net
device. This will send the same sixteen audio channels being transmitted
by the A‑Net input module to the next A‑Net device so that another unique
monitor mix can be created. An unlimited number of A‑Net devices can be
connected in series using this method. Any A‑Net device, including A‑Net
Distributors can be connected.
Cat‑5e cables between Pro16 A‑Net devices can be up to 500 feet (150 meters)
in length each.
