Welcome Thank you for purchasing the Aviom A-16D A-Net® Distributor for use with the Pro16® Monitor Mixing System and audio networking products. This User Guide is designed to make the installation and setup of your new product quick and easy.
Compatibility The A-16D A-Net Distributor can be used with: • • • • • • • • • • A-16II Personal Mixer A-16R rack-mounted Personal Mixer A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor AN-16/i Input Module AV-M8 Input Module AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module Y1 console interface card for use with Yamaha® consoles AN-16/o Output Module AV-P2 Output Module Third-party Pro16 console interface cards 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
About A-Net The Pro16® version of A-Net® is a high-speed data transmission protocol capable of sending and receiving high-quality digital audio using readily available Cat-5 cables. A-Net is a proprietary technology developed by Aviom. A-Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology. This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on which to build. However, it is important to note that A-Net devices are not compatible with Ethernet devices.
Use Cat-5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables or better for all A-Net applications. The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone system, only larger. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to shield the cable from unwanted interference from electrical fields or radio interference (sometimes referred to as “RF”). Cat-5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
compatible device in your system. Input Module Up to 500 feet of Cat‑5e cable can be used to connect each system component Output Modules or Personal Mixers Infinite number of A-Net components The distance between each A-Net device can be up to 500 feet (150 meters). 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.
Pre-made cables in a variety of lengths and colors are available at most 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.
Type: Switching Input Voltage: 90-240 volts 50/60Hz 30VA Output: 24Vdc 0.5A Polarity Outer = negative; Inner = positive Plug Size 2 mm _ + Power Supply Polarity Note that polarity of the plug found on the DC power supply needs to match that of the original power supply that came with your Aviom equipment. Aviom products use a center positive power supply. The outer contact is negative, the inner contact is positive. (See the diagram above.
Cleaning and Maintenance Information The exterior of your Aviom products should be cleaned with a dry, soft, lintfree cloth. For tougher dirt, you can use a cloth slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. Then use the dampened cloth to clean the product.

Connecting the A-16D The A-16D is designed to create a network of A-Net devices. The A-Net signal connected to the input of the A-16D is distributed to each of its eight A-Net 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.
input jacks on the rear of an analog input module (AN-16/i, AN-16/i-M, etc.), or patched in the digital domain when using a console interface card with a digital mixing console. From the A-Net input module, its 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. This type of connection is called a daisy chain or series connection.
At this point the Personal Mixer is connected to the A-Net network. Any audio sent to the A-Net input module is now available for mixing in the Personal Mixer. Refer to the Personal Mixer User Guide for additional information about using the mixing features of the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System. Connect additional Personal Mixers using Cat-5e cables from any available A-Net output port on the A-16D A-Net Distributor to the A-Net In on the Personal Mixer.
• On the front panel of the A-16D note that the yellow chan‑ nel LED will light for any A-Net output that has DC power connected. • Connect a Cat-5e cable from the powered A-Net output on the A-16D to the A-Net input on the Personal Mixer. • The Personal Mixer’s A-Net Active LED will light to indicate that a valid A-Net signal is present. • Continue connecting up to eight Personal Mixers in this manner. In this example, DC power is being added to ports 1 and 6 on the A-16D.
Expanding a System Any number of Pro16 A-Net devices can be used in a system. This includes A-16D A-Net Distributors. To expand a system and include more parallel A-Net outputs, additional A-16D Distributors can be connected to any available A-Net Output, such as the outputs on Personal Mixers or on other A-16D units.
to the A-Net Out jacks on the A-16D distributor, sets of sixteen discreet audio channels can be delivered to output modules for recording, mixing, broadcast, cameras, etc. Monitoring Plus Audio Distribution Any combination of Personal Mixers and output modules can be used to create a hybrid system that includes both stereo personal monitoring and discreet single-channel distribution.
From A-Net input module Cat-5e, up to 500 feet, 150 meters Cat-5e, up to 500 feet, 150 meters A-Net is extended by adding an A-16D between a pair of output modules.
