The Aviom AN-16/i provides 16 balanced line-level inputs into a Pro16 system. Audio is converted to digital and transmitted via A-Net, up to 500ft/150m over Cat-5e. A dedicated audio thru is available for each input channel, allowing the AN-16/i to be seamlessly inserted into an existing audio signal path. Monitor System Building Blocks Placed at a front-of-house or monitor console, the AN-16/i can be used as a head-end for a Pro16 Monitor Mixing System. Audio from the consoleany combination of channel inserts, direct outs, submixes, auxes, or groupsis connected to the TRS input channels on the AN-16/i. The A-Net Out on the AN-16/i is connected to the A-Net In of a Pro16 Personal Mixer or A-Net Distributor. Digital Snakes and Audio Networks Used in conjunction with the AN-16/o Output Module, the AN-16/i can also be used in a digital snake as an input path for main return signals from front-of- house. The built-in A-Net Expansion jack allows two 16-channel A-Net streams to be combined onto a single cable (32x0 or 16x16), and the AN-16SBR System Bridge can be used to combine up to four 16-channel streams onto a single cable in a variety of bidirectional configurations. The flexibility and simplicity of the Pro16 Series allows complex audio distribution systems and snakes to be created quickly and cost-effectively. Example System: In most personal mixing systems, AN-16/i Input Modules are used to take audio from the analog console, convert it to digital, and send the signals via A-Net over Cat-5e cables to the A-Net Distributors and Personal Mixers. The AN-16/i accepts any line-level analog audio source, and most systems use a combination of inserts or direct outs plus auxes or groups for submixes from the console. The system shown here provides two zones of mixing contentone tailored for the singers and another for the rhythm section. The inset panel indicates the patching used to share audio content using the thru jacks on the first AN-16/i as a splitter. Features: - Sixteen balanced audio inputs (1/4-in TRS connectors)
