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.
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.
As used in the Pro16 series products, the A‑Net signal carries sixteen channels of digital data from the Pro16 input module (AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M, or compatible console card) to each A‑Net device connected to the system.
Some of the benefits of using A‑Net to transmit digital audio are:
• Virtually no latency
• No ground loops
• Easy cabling using readily available components
• An unlimited number of A‑Net devices can be used in a system
• Ease in spanning long distances between system components
P N ote
: While the Cat‑5e cables and connectors used on your Aviom products look like typical computer Ethernet network connections, do not connect computers, routers, or other home and business networking equipment to your Aviom products.

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.
Pro16 input modules and console cards cannot send their data into a Pro64 network.
About Category 5
Category 5 (sometimes referred to as Cat-5) describes a commonly used type of high performance network cabling. It is used mainly for data transmission purposes to connect computers, modems and other devices. A standard Category 5 patch cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 male connectors. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity between any two Category 5 female outlet jacks. A variation, called Category 5e (or Cat‑5e), uses additional twists in the cable to reduce interference in high‑speed network applications. In general, when using long cable lengths, select Cat‑5e cables for best performance.
Use Cat-5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables or better for all A-Net applications�
RJ45 Jack Cat-5 Cable
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.

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).
For fixed or permanent installations, you have the option of running Cat‑5 cables inside walls and terminating them with readily available wall panel connectors that include the RJ45 jack. (Solid wire is recommended for permanent installations.)
In addition to standard Category 5e cables, Category 6 (Cat‑6 and Cat‑6e) cables can also be used.
P N ote
: When purchasing Category 5e cables, be sure to buy only standard
Cat‑5e UTP cables, not those sold as crossover cables. A crossover cable is used for file transfer between two computers. A crossover cable is not compatible with your Aviom equipment.
Cable Lengths
Cat‑5e cables used with your Aviom products can be up to 500 feet (150 meters) in length between devices. The maximum cable length specification applies to the cable connected between the A‑Net input module and the first Pro16 output device (such as an A‑16II Personal Mixer) in your system as well as for cable runs between each additional Pro16 A‑Net compatible device in your system.

Up to 500 feet of Cat-5e cable can be used to connect each system component
Infinite number of A‑Net components
AN-16/i Input Module
AN-16/o Output Modules or Personal Mixers
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.
When using the optional AN‑16SBR System Bridge, the cable length specification applies to the total cable length between the two A‑Net devices being connected with the AN‑16SBR System Bridge. This is similar to what happens when using an inline coupler to extend cable lengths.
Total A-Net cable length can be 500 feet (150 meters)

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.
AC Line Conditioning
Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available with built‑in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an
uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).
Power Supplies
Your Aviom product uses a DC power supply that has a two‑prong power cord. The prongs on the power supply are identical, meaning that there is no need to orient the plug in a specific direction in the power outlet. Some products with two‑prong power cords have polarized plugs that can only be inserted into an electrical outlet one way.
The power supply that is shipped with your Aviom product is a universal switching type. It is capable of working with voltages from 90 to 240 volts AC.
This means that a separate power supply is not needed to use the products with the AC power systems found in most countries. You should always use the power supply that shipped with your product. When travelling, you may need plug adapters to use the power supply with the AC outlet plug shape variations in use throughout the world.
Should you need to replace the power supply that came with your product, we recommend using only a power supply that meets the following specifications.

Cleaning and Maintenance Information
The exterior of your Aviom products should be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint‑ free 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.
P N ote
: Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of your Aviom products.

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. Always support the unit with all four screws when attaching the product to a flat surface.
If desired, the mounting flanges can be turned around so that they mount under the AV‑P2, making the profile of the AV‑P2 as small as possible. Always use all the mounting screws when reversing the flanges on the AV‑P2.
Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks.
Avoid placing your AV‑P2 directly above or below other rack‑mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amps.

Stereo Pair LED
The Stereo Pair LED will light whenever the Channel Selector knob is positioned on either channel that makes up a left/right stereo pair (as set by the network’s input module).
For example, if A‑Net channels 3 and 4 are stereo linked in the network, moving the AV‑P2 Channel Selector knob to either position 3 or 4 will produce the same result: the Stereo Pair LED will light, A‑Net channel 3 is assigned to the AV‑P2 left audio output, and A‑Net channel 4 is assigned to the AV‑P2 right output.

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.

DC Power Connector
The AV‑P2 Output Module comes with an external DC switching‑type power supply. This type of power supply can be used worldwide with a wide range of AC wall current output voltages (100‑240VAC). When traveling, you do not need to replace the power supply in countries where voltages are different. You may, however, need plug adapters to allow the power supply to be connected to wall outlets in some countries, since many countries use different physical plug layouts for their power systems.
If a replacement power supply is required, always choose a power supply with equivalent specifications: 18‑24 VDC, 500mA, center pin positive.
Audio Outputs
Audio outputs on the AV‑P2 are provided via locking Euroblock connectors.
Each channel’s output level can be set individually using the DIP switches on the front panel.

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”).

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. If one A‑Net device in the daisy chain is disconnected from the A‑Net signal chain, all units beyond that point will not output any audio until the unit is reconnected to a valid A‑Net source.

In this diagram, A-Net is connected from device to device using Cat-5e cables. The A-Net Out port on the first device connects to the A-Net In port on the next, and so on.
Parallel A-Net Routing
A parallel A‑Net connection eliminates the need to daisy chain A‑Net devices together. By using the optional A‑16D or A‑16D Pro A‑Net Distributor, parallel
A‑Net connections are possible. In fact, any combination of series and parallel connections can be used to solve even the most complex audio routing problems.
Using an A-Net Distributor
Any Pro16 A‑Net Distributor can be connected to the A‑Net Out port of a Pro16 device. In the diagram below, a variety of A‑Net compatible components are shown connected in parallel to an A‑16D A‑Net Distributor.

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 N ote
: The A‑16D Pro Distributor can also be used in this configuration.
It supplies DC power over the Cat‑5e cable to compatible Pro16 devices.
Extending A-Net Cable Runs
To span distances longer than the maximum specified for a single A‑Net cable (500 feet, 150 meters), the A‑16D (or A‑16D Pro) A‑Net Distributor can be used as a signal repeater. Simply insert the A‑16D or A‑16D Pro into the
A‑Net stream at the 500‑foot point and the A‑Net signal will be refreshed.
Another 500 feet/150 meters of cable can then be added. This process can be repeated as many times as required to extend cables. In fact, any Pro16 device will refresh the A‑Net signal and allow another 500‑foot cable run between it and the next Pro16 device.
For long distance applications, fiber optic cable can be used to span distances up to 50 miles (80 km) with the use of devices called media converters. A media converter changes the Cat‑5 Ethernet‑based A‑Net signal to a fiber optical signal at the source location and then back to Cat‑5 at the destination.
Several companies make media converters that can be used with your Aviom equipment. Both single and multi‑mode fiber devices can be used. Refer to the Aviom website for a list of approved devices.
