Welcome Thank you for purchasing the 6416m Mic Input Module, RCI Remote Control Interface and MCS Mic Control Surface. This User Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your new Pro64® products. In developing the Pro64 Series, we have made every effort to make the user interface as easy to use and understand as possible. We encourage you to read the manual completely, as some of the powerful features of your new product may not be immediately apparent.

AC Power Always plug the unit into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Always use the AC line cord that was shipped with the unit. Grasp the power cable by the connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting it from the power source. Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp environments. AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage.
Transporting the 6416m in a Rack The 6416m Mic Input Module has attachment points for rear support hardware built into the product’s sides. If the 6416m is to be rack mounted and transported frequently, be sure to support the rear of the unit with appropriate mounting hardware that matches the size of the rack used to avoid damage to the product. Ventilation The 6416m is convection cooled and does not require a built-in fan. Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks.
About A-Net Aviom’s A-Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed, and optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinary Cat5e cables (or fiber by adding the MH10f Merger Hub). As implemented in the Pro64® Series products, A-Net can transmit up to 128 channels of uncompressed 24-bit audio with the reliability and fidelity of analog, and the power and flexibility of a true digital network. Pro64 A-Net allows variable sample rates in three ranges, from 44.
Clocking The Pro64 network offers the most flexible clocking and synchronization options in the industry. Pro64 devices support three ranges of variable sample rates, from 44.1/48kHz± to 192kHz±. Because no sample rate converters are used, audio transmission is kept fast and clean, eliminating the audio artifacts and signal degradation inherent to sample rate conversion—even when syncing to an external clock source.
Mode network, two 64-channel streams are available on the cable and in each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact on the makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can direct A-Net data from an input module to a specific port (A, B, or both). Output modules can be configured to output audio signals received from a specific A-Net port (A or B).
Pro64 Interface Conventions Many Pro64 Series products have similar user interface components, including buttons, LEDs, and switches. When describing the features and functions of Pro64 Series products, the following conventions will be used. Cat-5e All Cat-5e connections between A-Net devices should use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable.
The buttons with up/down indicator arrows are used for the inc/dec functions. Buttons of this type will be referred to as “inc/dec” buttons. Selecting Values Some settings, including Sample Rate, Network Mode (Auto or Manual), and Virtual Data Cable type, require the user to select from a range of values. The button that controls the selection of a value is referred to generically as the “selection button” for that function.
Pro64 User Interface This section outlines some basic concepts of operation for Pro64 products. Pro64 I/O devices have some common user interface elements that make setting up an audio network easy to understand.
CONTROL MASTER VDC SLOT Managed Edit Lock ASSIGN PORT RS-232 MIDI In MIDI Out CANCEL GPIO In GPIO Out ENTER The LED between the Enter and Cancel buttons flashes when a button press is required to continue.

consoles, mic preamps, DSP processors, and DAW software. We use the word ‘’channel’’ when referring to the physical audio inputs—analog or digital—on a piece of hardware (such as the 16 mic/ line XLR input jacks on the 6416m Mic Input Module). Each of these audio inputs can be made active and added to the network individually, and it is only when activated that they use any network resources (the A-Net Slots).
The current sample rate will also affect the display of available A-Net Slot ranges. Slot ranges will always have the same maximum number as seen in the sample rate chart. At 96kHz, for example, only Slots numbered 1 through 32 are available; the Slot range from 33 to 64 is inactive and unavailable at that sample rate.
To select an A-Net Slot range, use the inc/dec buttons below the display. Press one of the buttons until the desired base Slot range is displayed, and then press the E NTER button. To return to the current selection without making a change, press the CANCEL button. The following tables show examples of the channel-to-Slot correlation for 16-channel Pro64 Series modules in a network running at the 48kHz sample rate. The numbers in the Slot column will appear in the A-Net Slot display.
A-Net Slot Example The following example shows the power of the Pro64 network and the A-Net Slots concept. The range of A-Net Slots used in the example has been limited to the group from 1 to 16 for simplicity. This graphic represents a Pro64 product set to a base Slot range of 1. Slot Channel 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 One 16-channel input module is placed in each of four rooms of a production facility, designated as Locations A, B, C, and D.
By activating a group of channels on each of the four input modules, a total of sixteen inputs are used (indicated by reverse text). All of these inputs are available on the network at every Pro64 output module. The operator in Location E can use the sixteen inputs from Locations A, B, C, and D simultaneously. The order in which the Pro64 devices are connected is irrelevant.
Network Modes A Pro64 audio network can be set to operate in one of two modes, Auto or Manual. The network mode can be selected on the front panel of the device designated as the system’s Control Master. Both modes are fully bidirectional at all times, regardless of the system layout or design. Auto Mode Pro64’s Auto Mode takes most of the work out of managing resources in an audio network. This is the “everything everywhere” mode.
new data. This means that, while no more than 128 channels can be in the network at a particular location, there is no practical limit to the total number of audio channels in the system. The number of available Slots in Manual Mode is dependent upon the current sample rate. Sample Rate 44.1/48kHz 88.2/96kHz 176.
Pro64 Network Concepts Configuring a Pro64 network involves a few simple steps. This section details some of the global settings and network concepts that you should be familiar with when setting up a Pro64 system. Control Master In every Pro64 network, one device will always be designated as the Control Master, the device that manages all A-Net resources for the network. The Control Master can be any I/O module in the network, and can be assigned or changed by the user as needed.
Setting Control Master Status Setting the 6416m to be the Control Master is done using the DIP switches found on the rear panel. The Control Master switch is part of the Virtual Data Cable port section of the interface. ( ) Mic Input Module RS- B A –8 RS- RESERVED CONTROL MASTER ON Switch 10 in the RS-232 configuration group is used to set the Control Master status. (DIP switch handles shown in black.
functions or settings. During the enumeration process, all connected A-Net modules will flash their A-Net LEDs, indicating that a request to be added to the network is being made. Once granted entry by the Control Master, the individual module’s blue A-Net LED will light solid to indicate that it is now receiving valid A-Net packets and is part of the network. 6416 m The blue LED in the A-Net icon is used to indicate network status.
CONTROL MASTER VDC SLOT Managed Edit Lock ASSIGN PORT RS-232 MIDI In MIDI Out CANCEL GPIO In GPIO Out ENTER The Enter/Cancel LED will flash when the user is required to press one of these buttons in order to complete an operation. Control Master and Clock Source By default, the device designated as Control Master in a network consisting of all analog modules is also the device in control of the network master clock.
External clock sources on the 6416dio Digital I/O Module can include: t Word Clock - via the dedicated BNC Word Clock jack t AES3 (AES/EBU) - from AES3 digital stream 1/2 When the 6416m is set to be the Clock Master, only its internal clock source is available; there is no external clock input on analog Pro64 modules. Clock Errors If a clock error occurs, the Clock Master LED will blink indicating that an error has occurred.
Sample Rate Link Mute Mute Ø Press the selection button to cycle through the available sample rates. The current sample rate for the network will be displayed on all I/O modules in the network. Only one sample rate can be used at a time. Changing the Sample Rate To set or change a network-wide sample rate from the Clock Master, use the button below the Sample Rate LEDs to select a new rate.

6416m Network Settings There are a few basic concepts that need to be understood when setting up a Pro64 network. Some of the functions described below do not need to be set on every Pro64 device in the network as they only need to be set up on the network’s Control Master, the module in charge of network resource management. Control Master One Pro64 module in every network must be designated as the Control Master.
A-Net Slot Range Configuration The A-Net Slot section of the interface is used to set the range of A-Net Slots that the 6416m will use to send its active audio channels into the network. There are two components: the A-Net Slot display and the inc/dec buttons used to select a value. A-NET SLOT Press the up/down buttons to select an A-Net Slot range.
Network Mode The LEDs in the A-Net Transmit section show information about the current network mode, which can be set to Auto Mode or Manual Mode only at the network’s Control Master. When the Pro64 network is operating in Auto Mode, the red Auto LED will be lit on all modules, and no user settings are available on a per-module basis. When using Auto Mode, it does not matter which rear-panel A-Net port (A or B) is used when connecting I/O devices to the network.
A-NET TRANSMIT Auto Manual Port A Port B A-Net data is set to transmit out of Port B in Manual Mode in this example. Changing the A-Net Transmit Port This applies to Manual Mode only; no user settings are available in Auto Mode. Use the selector button below the Auto/Manual Mode LED readout to cycle through the three options. When a new configuration is selected, the selected Port LED and the Enter/Cancel LED will blink; confirmation is required.
Sample Rate A-Net Slots Available 44.1/48kHz 64 88.2/96kHz 32 176.4/192kHz 16 In an all-analog network, the sample rate can be set at the Control Master to the following: t 44.1kHz t 48kHz t 88.2kHz t 96kHz t 176.4kHz t 192kHz When an external clock is used with a Pro64 digital I/O device, the system can lock to any sample rate within the range that is shown in the table below. No sample rate converters are ever required when using an external clock.
CLOCK MASTER Sample Rate Pressing the selection button will cycle through the available sample rates. 96kHz is shown in the example. Attempting to change the sample rate on a module that is not the Clock Master will cause the Sample Rate and Clock Master LEDs to flash to indicate the error. Sample Rates and A-Net Slots Changing the network sample rate has a direct effect on the availability of A-Net Slots. For example, setting the sample rate to 96kHz makes only 32 Slots available, numbers 1 through 32.
6416m Front Panel Features This section describes the features and functions of all front-panel components of the 6416m Mic Input Module. Many of the network-wide settings are common to other Pro64 modules and will be familiar to users of other Pro64 devices. A-Net Slot Configuration Each I/O module in a Pro64 network can be set to operate within a specific part of the network, referred to as its Slot range.
through the various choices. Clock Master Every Pro64 network will have one Clock Master. The module designated as Control Master will have its yellow Clock Master LED, found above the sample rate section, lit. In a network that uses all analog modules, setting the 6416m to be the network Control Master automatically assigns it to be the Clock Master. See page 33 for more info.
VDC Slot and Port Configuration There are 14 Virtual Data Cable Slots available to transport user control data throughout the Pro64 network without impacting audio performance. See page 94 for additional VDC setup information. VDC SLOT ASSIGN PORT RS-232 MIDI In MIDI Out GPIO In GPIO Out The Virtual Data Cables interface Choose a VDC Slot with the inc/dec buttons below the Slot readout. Use the selection button below the VDC LEDs to choose an input type for the selected VDC Slot.
bench configured (it is not part of an active network), the A-Net LED will be off during the firmware update. (Check the Aviom website for current firmware updates.) Managed Button The Managed button is used to put the network under control of a computer for firmware updates, system monitoring, etc. Managed Mode can only be engaged from the network’s Control Master. When using a PC for firmware updates, etc., a Pro64 module cannot have its RS-232/422 or MIDI port assigned to a VDC when the PC is connected.
t The Edit Lock button, along with the Enter button, can be used to unlock the unit. t Gain switches on I/O modules such as the 6416i are analog controls. These cannot be locked. t Channel Active buttons can be used to get information about the channel-to-Slot relationships. t The VDC inc/dec buttons can be used to get info about Virtual Data Cable port assignments. Query Functions (Get Info) When a Pro64 module is edit locked, its front-panel channel buttons can be used to get Slot info.
To Exit the query function, press E DIT LOCK followed by E NTER to return to normal operation. Control Group The Control Group functions are unique to the 6416m Mic Input Module and the RCI Remote Control Interface. Control Groups are useful when you want to have multiple 6416m modules in a network separated into specific zones or when more than one operator will be editing channel strip parameters remotely. CONTROL Group 4 Group 3 Group 2 Press the select button to choose a Group.
6416m Channel Strip Functions The features of the 6416m mic preamp channels are described in detail in this section. Most of these features can also be remote controlled by adding the optional RCI Remote Control Interface and MCS Mic Control Surface. All operations described below apply to the currently selected mic pre channel.
Channel Activation Rules It is not necessary to press the E NTER button to activate or deactivate a channel. Each Pro64 module remembers a unique set of active channels for Auto and Manual Modes. For example, an input module could have channels 1-8 active for an Auto Mode application and channels 5-6 and 12-16 active for a Manual Mode application. Changing network modes will restore the active channel status for each connected module.
To link a pair of channels, both channels must be active on the network first; the Active button located below the Edit button must be lit on both channels. Once the two channels are active, pressing the LINK button will link the two channels immediately; no confirmation is required. Attempting to link channels that do not meet the requirements above will cause the Link button and one or more channel button LEDs to flash to indicate the error.
Edit Button The Edit button gives the user access to each channel’s settings for Phase, Low Cut filter, Pad, +48V phantom power, and Gain. Only one channel can be edited at a time, even if a channel is part of a stereo pair. To change the settings for a particular channel, press the E DIT button found above the channel’s Active button and then use the Phase, Low Cut filter, Pad, and +48V phantom power buttons or the Gain knob as needed.
Low Cut Button The Low Cut button applies a bass rolloff filter centered at 85Hz to the selected channel. Use this to eliminate low frequency interference such as microphone handling noise, rumble, etc. Press the LOW CUT button once; the yellow LED in the selected channel strip will light to indicate that the function is enabled. Press LOW CUT again to turn the filter off. It is not necessary to press Enter. The Low Cut filter’s on/off state is saved with a mic pre Preset.
When the 24dB pad is in use, the Pad LED in the selected channel strip will be lit. Mic pre Presets save the Pad state for each channel. +48V Phantom Power Button Phantom power for devices such as condenser mics is available for each mic preamp channel. Turning the +48V phantom power on or off for a channel requires use of the Enter button. Avoid potential damage to your hearing or audio equipment by muting the mic channel first if you are unsure about the use of phantom power.
Channel Gain Each input channel on the 6416m has an individual gain setting controlled by the Gain knob. Press E DIT to select a channel for editing and then rotate the GAIN knob to the desired setting. When the RCI/MCS is part of the network, gain changes can be made from the front panel or the remote controller. Gain is set in 1dB steps and has a range of 0-55dB. Each channel’s gain setting is saved as part of a mic preamp Preset.
Use the selection button to cycle through the selections, Groups 1-4 and Off. Only active mic channels in the currently selected Control Group can be edited with an MCS connected to an RCI. When operating a Pro64 network that contains 6416m Mic Input Modules but no RCI or MCS units, the Control Group setting has no effect. Control Group settings are not saved as part of a Preset.
Mic Preamp Presets Each 6416m Mic Input Module has the ability to save 16 mic preamp Presets. Parameters that can be saved per channel include: t Channel Mute status, on/off t Phase on/off t Low Cut Filter on/off t Pad on/off t +48V Phantom Power on/off t Channel gain Note that each channel’s network activation status cannot be saved within a mic preamp Preset. The network Control Master manages active channels.
NOTE: To save a mic preamp Preset from the MCS, remember that the 6416m needs to be set to the same Control Group as is currently selected on the RCI that the MCS is connected to. Recall a Preset To recall a mic preamp Preset from the front panel of the 6416m, press the RECALL button. The Recall button’s red LED, the Enter/Cancel LED, and the Edit button corresponding to the last Preset saved/recalled will flash.
6416m Rear Panel Features All 6416m rear-panel features and functions are described in this section. AC Power Pro64 modules use switching power supplies that can operate at 100-240V and from 50-60Hz, meaning that they can be used with most of the world’s AC power systems by simply changing the line cord. The 6416m is equipped with a standard grounded IEC power inlet (with fuse), which can accept the interchangeable IEC power cord.
6416m DC Requirements Like most electronic devices, the 6416m will draw more than its rated current for a very brief period of time at power up. This is called in-rush current. This also happens when powering the unit through its DC Backup power input. A power supply connected to this input should be capable of sourcing 5A of in-rush current for 5ms (0.1ms rise time). Alternately, some power supply manufacturers indicate in-rush current sourcing capability by specifying a maximum capacitive load.
DB25 Audio Thru/Alternate In Two female DB25 multipin connectors are provided for audio throughput on the 6416m, creating a passive split of the source signals. Channels 1-8 appear on one DB25 jack and channels 9-16 on the other. The DB25s are wired to the industry accepted Tascam® compatible analog wiring standard. Do not use DB25 cables wired for AES3 digital connections.

The DB25 panel-mount connectors have #4-40 UNC thread. NOTE: Strain relief is suggested when using DB25 cable assemblies.
Virtual Data Cables Three types of Virtual Data Cable (VDC) ports are available on the rear panel of the 6416m Input Module. Fourteen VDC Slots are available system-wide, regardless of the current network mode (Auto or Manual). Virtual Data Cables are not affected by the network sample rate, channel activation settings, or gain settings. When a module requests to activate a Virtual Data Cable, the Control Master checks the entire network to ensure that the requested VDC is available.
To output control data that originates at the 6416m from another Pro64 module elsewhere in the network, select the same numbered VDC Slot on the remote Pro64 device that contains the data from the 6416m. Set the remote device’s VDC type by pressing the selection button to highlight the data type and light its LED. Press E NTER to complete the VDC assignment. To deactivate a VDC Slot, use the selection button to scroll through the data types until none of the LEDs is lit, and then press the ENTER button.
MIDI In, MIDI Out Two MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) ports, In and Out, are provided on the 6416m. Each is capable of transferring any type of MIDIcompatible data. Pro64 devices do not process or filter MIDI data in any way. VIRTUAL DATA CABLE PORTS IN IN OUT OUT Both MIDI ports in the VDC section can be used simultaneously.

RCI Front Panel Features The RCI provides a network access point for remote control of the 6416m. Any number of RCI Remote Control Interfaces can be installed anywhere in a Pro64 network, providing multiple control access and monitor points. The Control Group function on the 6416m and RCI allows control of active mic channels to be divided among up to four different simultaneous users and control points.
Port A Port B Auto and Manual Mode LEDs and Port selection options A-Net Slot The A-Net Slot display shows the network Slot that is currently available to be monitored by the headphone and rear-panel XLR outputs. Any active network Slot can be monitored, even if its content is not coming from a microphone input module. The display will scroll sequentially through all available Slots (as determined by the current network sample rate) with two variations: double dashes with and without the Sync dot on.
Sync Indicator The dot in the Slot Selection display is used to indicate that Slot selection is being controlled from the MCS Mic Control Surface. Slot selection will remain in sync until the user selects a Slot directly from the RCI front panel. To activate the sync function and allow Slot selection to be controlled from the MCS Mic Control Surface, use the inc/dec buttons on the RCI to scroll until “--.” (double dash with a dot) is shown in the display.
LED will flash while a request to enter the network is sent to and then processed by the device designated as Control Master. Once a module is enumerated and is part of the Pro64 network, the blue A-Net LED will light solid. The LED will remain lit as long as valid A-Net network data is received. The A-Net LED will flash during a firmware update when the module being updated is part of an active network.
AC Power Pro64 modules use switching power supplies that can operate at 100-240V and from 50-60Hz, meaning that they can be used with most of the world’s AC power systems by simply changing the line cord. The RCI is equipped with a standard grounded IEC power inlet (with fuse), which can accept the interchangeable IEC power cord. Fuse The fuse holder is spring-loaded and has space for two fuses, one main and one spare (optional). Press the fuse holder cover to access the fuse.
+ dBu LINE LEVEL OUTPUT BAL PAD PIN HOT The RCI outputs the currently selected Slot as a +4dBu mono linelevel audio signal. The output of this jack is a fixed level and is not affected by the frontpanel headphone monitor output level control. Output Pad Switch The Pad switch lowers the output level of the +4dBu line-level signal present at the monitor output jack by 21dB. Move it to the right to enable the 21dB pad.

MCS Features The MCS is used to edit 6416m mic preamp settings and save/recall presets remotely. A single MCS connected to an RCI can be used to control up to 64 channels of 6416m input channels, regardless of their location in the Pro64 network. Multiple control points can be provided by installing more than one RCI Remote Control Interface in a Pro64 network. All changes made from the MCS are immediately reflected on the front panel of all 6416m modules in the same Control Group.
current network sample rate). Follow the selection rules above; press E NTER or simply wait for the Slot to be automatically selected. Press CANCEL to return to the last selected Slot. The numeric keypad with inc/dec buttons A-Net Slot Display The two-digit A-Net Slot display shows the currently selected active network Slot. Remember that any Slot can be selected for level monitoring, but only mic preamp channels in the same Control Group can be edited from the MCS.
t Press E NTER to immediately display the selected channel/Slot number, or t Do nothing; after a short pause, the interface will automatically select the channel/Slot. Only Slot numbers from 1-64 (at 44.1/48kHz), 1-32 (at 88.2/96kHz), or 1-16 (at 176.4/192kHz) are valid. Entering any invalid number (for example, an out-of-range Slot) will return the display to the last legal Slot number displayed.
To use the Save and Recall functions from the MCS, any 6416m Mic Input Modules that you want to control need to be set to the same Control Group that the RCI Remote Control Interface is set to. When using the Save and Recall functions from the MCS, all 6416m Mic Input Modules will save or recall the same numbered Preset simultaneously. 6416m Mic Input Modules set to different Control Groups will ignore Save/Recall requests from any RCI/MCS set to a different Control Group number.
display will be blank for non-controllable Slots. No ntrol The current gain setting is displayed for any active mic preamp channel when its Slot is selected. Gain Control The rotary gain control sets the amount of gain applied to the currently selected mic preamp channel and can be changed in 1dB increments. The gain display will flash until the 6416m has processed the command sent from the MCS. Gain settings for each channel of the 6461m are saved within a mic preamp Preset.
No ntrol The channel strip, high resolution meter, and gain settings Low Cut Button The Low Cut button applies a bass rolloff filter centered at 85Hz to the selected channel. Use this to eliminate low frequency interference such as microphone handling noise, rumble, etc. Press the LOW CUT button once; its yellow LED will light to indicate that the function is enabled for the selected channel. Press LOW CUT again to turn the filter off. It is not necessary to press the Enter button.
Mic pre Presets save the Pad state for each channel. +48V Phantom Power Button Phantom power for devices such as condenser mics is available for each 6416m mic preamp channel. The use of Enter/Cancel is required to confirm a change when using +48V phantom power. To turn phantom power on, press the +48V button once. The Enter and Cancel LEDs will blink. Press E NTER; the phantom power is on. Press the CANCEL button to exit without turning phantom power on.
The high resolution meter and Peak Hold button Peak Hold Button When on, the Peak Hold function will show and hold the highest level (including any clips) that has occurred on the high-res meter as well as any clips that may have occurred on active Slots (displayed using the 64 bicolor LEDs). To use the Peak Hold function, press the PEAK HOLD button once; its LED will light. Press the PEAK HOLD button again to clear the last displayed peaks and turn the hold function off.
Building a Pro64 Network Configuring a Pro64 network involves connecting input and output modules with Cat-5e cables, setting A-Net Slot ranges, and activating input channels. Any number of 6416m Mic Input Modules and RCI remote Control Interfaces can be connected and located anywhere in a Pro64 network.
Basic Routing To output the mic/line audio inputs connected to the 6416m, the module must be connected to another Pro64 device somewhere in the network that can output its data. This Pro64 device can be a standalone analog or digital module or a console interface card such as the 6416Y2 console card for use in Yamaha® digital products supporting the MY expansion card format. The diagrams that follow use generic input and output module icons. Any Pro64 I/O device can be substituted unless otherwise noted.
of Slots within the network. Example 2: Port B connected to Port A Input B A B A Output In this diagram, note that additional Pro64 modules can be connected to any available port as indicated by the dotted line. Here, Port B of the input module is connected to Port A of the output module, the opposite of Example 1. The same results can be achieved by connecting Port A on the input module to Port A on the output module and by connecting Port B on the input module to Port B on the output module.
Example 3: One input module and three digital copies in Auto Mode Output B A B A B A B A Input Output Output In this example, note that the A-Net connections between devices can be any combination of the A and B ports. Any open port can be used to connect additional Pro64 devices. The order of the Pro64 modules connected in series in Example 3 above can be changed without affecting the ability of the network to distribute the same incoming audio channels to all three output modules shown.
Example 4: One input module and three output modules connected using an MH10/MH10f in Auto Mode 1 Output B A B A B A 3 A 2 B 4 Input 5 6 Merger 7 Output 8 9 10 Output In Auto Mode, modules can be connected to any port on the MH10. Note that in the example, it does not matter which A-Net port (A or B) on the I/O modules is connected to the MH10. Likewise, on the MH10, the choice of A-Net port (1 through 10) does not matter.
Example 5: One input module and two output modules in Manual Mode Output B A B A B A Input Output The input module transmits its audio data via Port A (marked with a square surrounding the port name). Only the lower Pro64 output module can make use of those audio channels. In the example above, showing I/O modules in the middle of a Pro64 network, the input module in the center of the diagram is set to transmit its active audio data to Port A, using the A-Net Slot range starting at 1.
Example 6: Two input modules and two output modules, 16x16 Output B A B A B A B A Input Output Input Audio from the Pro64 input module at the bottom of the diagram is heard at the output module shown at the top of the diagram. In this example, two input modules are set to the same A-Net Slot range. Both are set to transmit their A-Net data out of Port A. Unique data flows in each direction in a 16x16 configuration.
Example 7: Audio from the stage is output at the front-of-house mixing console; audio from the FOH console is output on the stage. STAGE Output B A B A B A B A Input Output Input FRONT OF HOUSE The dotted arrows show the relationship between the input and output modules. By defining the uses of the audio data from the two input modules in the previous example as stage and FOH, the picture is clearer.
Digital Copies in Manual Mode Creating a digital split in Manual Mode follows most of the rules defined for Auto Mode splits. Any output module connected in series to an existing output module can output the same audio as long as the A-Net Slot range and A-Net Receive Port settings are configured properly, and as long as no other input modules overwrite the audio.
input module at front of house. Unlike Auto Mode, however, this input module needs to be set to send audio data to its A-Net Port B in order to make the digital split work. The example assumes that all modules are set to the same A-Net Slot range. By setting the FOH input module to transmit its A-Net data to Port A and B, the A-Net data flows in two directions: to the output module on stage and to the output module in the recording area. Both output modules are set to receive A-Net data via Port A.
Example 9: A digital copy of the stage signals STAGE Output B A B A B A B A B A Input Output Input FRONT OF HOUSE Output RECORDING The input module at the front-of-house position is set to transmit its A-Net data out of Port A only. The dotted lines show the relationship of the input and output modules. By changing the A-Net Transmit port settings on the input module at front of house to transmit only on Port A, audio from the stage can be output in the recording area.
VDC Configuration Pro64’s Virtual Data Cables provide an easy way to distribute control signals throughout a network, greatly expanding the possibilities for using and distributing MIDI, GPIO, and RS-232/422 control signals. (Not all Pro64 modules have the same VDC complement.) A-Net provides the ability to send these control data over greater distances than previously possible with traditional analog connections.
VDC SLOT ASSIGN PORT RS-232 MIDI In MIDI Out GPIO In GPIO Out When a rear-panel VDC port has been assigned to a VDC Slot, its In Use LED will be on. Selecting a VDC Slot is done with the inc/dec buttons below the display. Pressing the inc/dec buttons will cause the display to scroll up or down, and will wrap at the end of the numeric list. As the VDC Slots are displayed, any VDC Slot with an active input will light the In Use LED.
Assigning a VDC Slot The act of assigning a VDC Slot maps one of the rear-panel hardware VDC I/O ports to a Virtual Data Cable. To assign a VDC port to a VDC Slot, two actions are required. First an available VDC Slot must be selected, and second, one of the VDC data types from the Assign Port list must be assigned to that VDC Slot. To select a VDC Slot to activate, scroll through the list to a numbered location that does not have the In Use LED lit.
Advanced Functions The available advanced functions for the 6416m Input Module are listed in the table below. No Advanced Functions are available on the RCI or MCS modules.
any front-panel button other than a channel activation button after the Function button will also cancel the Function request. Clear A-Net Resources This Function clears currently active audio channels, stereo links, and VDC assignments on a module for the current network mode, Auto or Manual. The module must be unlocked to use this feature. The network cannot be in Managed Mode. To clear A-Net resources, press the FUNCTION button. The Function button and Enter/Cancel LEDs will flash.
To lock the network, press the FUNCTION button on the Control Master module. The Function button and Enter/Cancel LEDs will flash. Press the CHANNEL 9 ACTIVE button; a unique LED pattern flashes to warn the user that the network is about to be locked. Key in the four-number network password using the channel Active buttons. Press E NTER to complete the operation. A special forward sweeping LED sequence is displayed in the channel meters to confirm that the network is being locked.
Sample Alignment All digital networks that allow daisy-chained connectivity need to compensate for sub-millisecond latency build-up between devices when data is retransmitted. In the majority of cases, there is no audible effect (as the individual delays are very small), but without compensation, these small variations in latency can become an issue in certain applications as the network grows in size.
To get sample alignment info, press the FUNCTION button, followed by the CHANNEL 11 ACTIVE button. Press E NTER; the A-Net Slot display is used to indicate the current value in use. t The A-Net Slot display reads “0” to indicate that the system’s default values are being used. (This is set with Function 14.) t The A-Net Slot display reads “1” to indicate that stored values are being used. (This is set with Function 13.
network is power cycled. When the network is reconfigured or when the sample rate is changed, a new value should be calculated using Function 12 described above. Use Default Sample Alignment Value The system calculates a sample alignment value to be used as the default every time the network is powered up, or when the sample rate is changed. Function 14 can be used at the Control Master to set the network to use the default value. (Function 13 is used to instruct the system to use a stored value.
t Managed Mode is deactivated. t Edit Lock is set to off. t Password protect is off. t The system password value for the module being reset is “1-1-1-1”. t All Virtual Data Cables are deactivated. The 6416m Control Master status is controlled by the rear-panel DIP switch #10 setting. This is not changed when the factory defaults are restored. VDC configuration for GPIO type—Isolated or TTL—is not reset. VDC baud rate, parity, and stop bit settings for RS-232 communication are not reset.
Firmware Update Pro64 modules can be updated in the field using a PC and the Pro64 Update Tool application. Modules can be updated over A-Net, while part of an active audio network, or in local mode where no other modules are connected at the time the update is being performed (such as may be required for a bench configuration when setting up modules prior to installation).

DB25 Audio Connections Aviom analog input and output modules with DB25 multi-pin connectors are wired to the analog pinout that has become standard in the audio industry (which is sometimes referred to as the Tascam® DA-88 or DTRS pinout). This wiring standard allows easy interfacing with a variety of audio equipment using readily-available multi-pin breakout cables or by incorporating Aviom’s PB28 Modular Patch Bay products. Each DB25 jack on an Aviom product carries eight balanced audio channels.
Using DB25 Jacks The DB25 panel-mount connectors on Aviom products have #4-40 UNC threads. Be sure to get DB25 breakout cables with the correct thread type; forcing the connectors by using the wrong thread type will strip one or more of the mating components rendering them unusable. Strain relief is suggested when using DB25 cable assemblies. DB25 breakout cables should always be supported when connected to an Aviom product to reduce the risk of damaging the product’s rear panel.
RS-232 Cables and Pinout Using an RS-232 device with Pro64 devices requires a female-to-female DB9 null modem cable (also referred to as a crossover cable). The RS-232 jack in the VDC section of the 6416m has the following pinout. 1 2 6 3 7 4 8 5 9 The DB9 connector on a Pro64 device has the pinout seen above.
