| The 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 500'/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. 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 consoleﾗany
combination of channel inserts, direct outs, submixes, auxes, or
groupsﾗis connected to the 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.
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 bi-directional
configurations.
The flexibility and simplicity of the Pro16 Series allows complex
audio distribution systems and snakes to be created quickly and
cost-effectively.
Long Distance A-Net
Fiber-optic technology can be used for digital snake applications that
require cable distances that exceed the A-Net maximum length of 500 feet
(150 meters) between devices. |
