Compatibility The AV-P2 Output Module can be used with the following Aviom Pro16 products: • • • • • • • • • • AN-16/i Input Module AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module AV-M8 Mic Input Module Aviom16/o-Y1 A-Net card for use with Yamaha® consoles A-16R Personal Mixer A-16II Personal Mixer A-16D A-Net Distributor A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor AN-16/o Output Module AN-16SBR System Bridge In addition to the Aviom devices mentioned above, the AV-P2 Output Module can be connected to third-party devices that support Pro16 A
Pro16 Series Systems A complete Pro16® Series audio network system consists of at least one Pro16 input module connected to at least one Pro16 output device such as the AV-P2 Output Module, AN-16/o Output Module, or A-16II Personal Mixer. Many configurations are possible by using additional input modules and/or Personal Mixers and output modules.
Compatibility with Pro64 Many Pro16 products can be connected to a Pro64® A-Net system with the addition of the ASI A-Net Systems Interface. The ASI translates Pro64 A-Net data into Pro16 data and separates the 64-channel Pro64 stream into up to four 16-channel Pro16 outputs, depending on the Pro64 sample rate being used. Only Pro16 devices that have an A-Net In port such as Personal Mixers, A-Net Distributors, and output modules are compatible with Pro64 and the ASI.
Cat-5 Cables The cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any standard Category 5e (Cat-5e) cables. If you need a longer cable for a particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom cables to any length (up to the maximum of 500 feet (150 meters) between components).
AN-16/i Input Module Up to 500 feet of Cat‑5e cable can be used to connect each system component AN-16/o Output Modules or Personal Mixers Infinite number of A-Net components Your cable length performance will be affected by a number of factors including the quality of the cables used, and the number of devices such as cable couplers used or passive wall panel interconnections in use. Use Cat-5e cable for best performance wherever possible. Stranded or solid Cat-5e cable can be used.
computer outlets. Cables can be extended by using a simple passive device called an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as long as you do not exceed the specified maximum cable length). If you need a longer cable on occasion, this is a simple solution. Note that it is possible that the maximum cable length specification can be compromised by using inline couplers or other passive connection devices.

Aviom products use a center positive power supply. The outer contact is negative, the inner contact is positive. (See the diagram above.
Mounting the AV-P2 The AV-P2 module is designed to be mounted to any flat surface. Optionally, it can be rack mounted using a standard 19-inch rack shelf. Two AV-P2 units can fit on a single rack shelf. The mounting flanges on each side of the device are designed to support the weight of the AV-P2 without additional hardware. The mounting flanges can be reversed easily using only a Phillips head screwdriver. Each mounting flange contains holes for two screws per side.
Panel Descriptions This section explains the basic layout of the front and rear panels of your new Aviom product. The diagrams on the previous pages can be used as a quick visual guide to the location of the components of the AV-P2 mentioned in this section. AV-P2 Front Panel The front panel of the AV-P2 contains the Output Level DIP switches, Mute switch, A-Net Channel Selector knob, and LED indicators for Stereo Pair, A-Net Active, and Power.
A-Net Channel Selector The AV-P2 can output single channel, dual mono, or stereo audio signals. The rotary channel selector knob is used to select a mono or stereo signal from the Pro16 A-Net stream connected to the AV-P2 via its A-Net In port.
T A-Net Active LED Whenever a valid A-Net signal is connected to the AV-P2 via the A-Net In port, the A-Net Active LED will light. Power LED The Power LED lights whenever the AV-P2 DC power supply is connected to a valid AC power source, or when it is receiving power over the Cat-5 connection. It does not, however, indicate that a valid A-Net digital stream is being received. That is the job of the A-Net Active LED.
AV-P2 Rear Panel The rear panel of the AV-P2 Output Module contains the DC power connector, the left/right audio output Euroblock connections, and the A-Net connections. The outputs on the AV-P2 use 5.0 mm Euroblock connectors, and can be connected to balanced or unbalanced audio devices. Male Euroblock jacks are provided.
Euroblock connectors plug into the sockets on the AV-P2 panel. The Euroblock plugs can be connected using only a small flat-blade screwdriver. A-Net Connections Two A-Net connections are provided on the rear panel of the AV-P2 Output Module. There is one A-Net In port and one A-Net Out port. The A-Net In port receives digital data in Aviom’s proprietary A-Net format. The A-Net Out port is used to pass incoming A-Net data to additional A-Net compatible devices in a system.
Connecting Audio The audio outputs on the AV-P2 Output Module can be connected to balanced or unbalanced devices via the Euroblock jacks. Wiring a Euroblock Euroblock connectors provide an easy, solder-free way of making audio connections between the AV-P2 and other audio components. Only a small flat-blade screw driver is required to make connections. For extra strength, you can add solder to each bare wire on an audio cable to stop the wire strands from unwinding (called “tinning”).
The Euroblock plug, showing the screws that hold the individual wires in place (left-to-right), hot (+), cold (-), and ground Connecting to an Unbalanced Device The AV-P2 audio outputs can be connected to unbalanced audio devices; connections can use single-conductor or two-conductor shielded cable. Single-conductor shielded cable To connect the AV-P2 audio output to an unbalanced line-level device using single-conductor shielded cable: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Two-conductor shielded cable To connect the AV-P2 audio output to an unbalanced line-level device using two-conductor shielded cable: 1. Strip the insulating jacket of the cable back about .75 inch (18 mm) to reveal the individual hot and ground wires within. 2. Remove a small amount of each individual wire’s insulation (approximately .25 inch, 6 mm). 3. On the Euroblock plug, use a small screw driver to loosen and open the sockets that will receive the individual wires. 4.
Setting Output Levels Output levels on the AV-P2 are set with the DIP switches on the front panel. Individual settings are possible for the left and right audio channels.

A-Net Connections When creating a Pro16 A-Net system, the simplest connection method uses what is called a daisy chain. That is, each A-Net device is connected in series. The first device in the chain receives its A-Net signal from the AV-M8 Mic Input Module’s A-Net Out port. Each successive A-Net compatible device gets its A-Net connection from the A-Net Out port of the device preceding it in the daisy chain. There is one drawback to this connection method, however.
Pro16 Input A-Net Out A-Net In A-16D A-Net Out (x8) A-Net In AV-P2 AN-16/o A-16R A-16II A-Net Out from the Pro16 input module connects to an A-Net Distributor and then up to eight parallel streams can connect additional Pro16 products. The A-Net signal from the A-16D Distributor is connected to each A-Net compatible device with a Cat-5e cable. Removing one A-Net device has no effect on the other A-Net components being used. P Note: The A-16D Pro Distributor can also be used in this configuration.
