Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the 6416Y2 A-Net® Interface Card for use with
Yamaha® digital products that support the mini‑YGDAI (MY) card format. This
User Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of
your new Pro64® product. All Pro64 products are powered by A‑Net®, Aviom’s
proprietary data transmission protocol designed especially for the unique
demands of live streaming audio.
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.
Package Contents
Check the contents of the shipping box carefully before making connections
and continuing with installation.
The contents of the 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Card box includes:
One 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Card•
User documentation•
PNo t e Retain the protective bag that encloses the 6416Y2 card. The card is
static‑sensitive. Use the bag whenever the card will be transported
without being installed in a Yamaha device.
Features
The 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Card is a 16‑channel Pro64 A‑Net I/O expansion
card for Yamaha’s digital devices including digital mixing consoles and
the Digital Mix Engine™ (DME) products. It provides a host of professional
features designed to make audio networking with Pro64 Series products
easy to set up and configure in a variety of professional audio situations.

The EtherCon Connector
Pro64 Series products feature locking connectors for all network I/O. The
Neutrik®EtherCon® connector is a dual RJ45‑type connector that can receive
a standard Category 5e cable or a cable fitted with the special locking
EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat‑5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the
EtherCon jack; release the cable by pressing on the small plastic tab built into
the cable connector.
The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR plug, the kind commonly
used on microphone cables. Insert an EtherCon‑equipped cable into the
jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal
release tab at the top of the panel‑mounted EtherCon jack and pull the
connector outward.

The 6416Y2 has two A-Net ports, labeled A and B.

Cat-5e Cables
All Cat‑5e connections between A‑Net devices should use Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The cable can be of the stranded or solid type;
solid wire performs better over long distances, while stranded wire is more
flexible and easier to manipulate and therefore easier to work with in a live
performance situation.
Cables designated as Cat‑5e in Pro64 documentation can be interchanged
with any Cat‑6 (or better) cable. Cables will be referred to simply as “Cat‑5e.”
Connectors on Cat‑5e cables used with Pro64 devices can be of the standard
RJ45 variety or locking Neutrik EtherCon type.
DIP Switches
Illustrations of Pro64 DIP switch components in this document will indicate
the switch handles in black.
In this diagram, all DIP switches are in the down position.
Cleaning
Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the
unit from the AC power source.
To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint‑free cloth that
has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth
slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to dry
the surface of the unit before proceeding with use.
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.
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of your
Aviom products.

Yamaha digital mixing console or compatible digital product (see the list on
page 3). The specific number of available expansion slots varies with each
model. Yamaha expansion slots are identified by number, starting with
“Slot 1.” Within an MY expansion slot, its audio resources are referred to as
“channels,” numbered from 1 to 16 in the Yamaha interface. (The PM1D is
limited to 8‑channel operation.)
PNo t e The 6416Y2 card is electrostatic‑sensitive. Before handling the card,
you should briefly touch the host unit’s metal casing with your bare
hand to drain off any static charge from your body.
The components of the card are indicated in the diagram below.

Once the Aviom expansion card has had its DIP switches configured and is
installed in the Yamaha host device, all audio routing to/from the 6416Y2
A‑Net Interface Card is done from within the Yamaha device’s user interface.
Consult the documentation that came with your Yamaha product for more
specific signal routing information.
PNo t e : Always power off the Yamaha host device before removing the
6416Y2 card.
Installing Multiple 6416Y2 Cards
A Yamaha host device can support as many Pro64 A‑Net cards as it has
available MY (mini‑YGDAI) expansion slots and internal power resources.
When multiple 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Cards are installed in a Yamaha host
device, each 6416Y2 card needs to be connected via its A‑Net ports to the
Pro64 network. Simply use a short Cat‑5e jumper cable to interconnect the
6416Y2 cards.
A list of compatible Yamaha products and the number of available MY
expansion slots on each appears on page 4.

Firmware Notice
All Pro64 devices in a network should be updated to use the most recent
rmware version to ensure trouble-free operation.
As new Pro64 modules are released, older Pro64 products need to be
updated so that they recognize the features and functions of the newer
modules—something that is especially important if one of the older devices
will be used as the network’s Control Master. (If for some reason you cannot
update the firmware on older Pro64 devices before using them, set the
newest module to be the network Control Master.)
Pro64 Update Tool is a free Windows software application for updating the
operating firmware in Pro64 Series products.
The Pro64 Update Tool requires a direct RS‑232 (serial) connection between
the computer and the Control Master device on the Pro64 network. Normally
this is accomplished by connecting a null modem DB9 cable between the
RS‑232 jack on the computer and the Pro64 device. Complete information on
using RS‑232 (and USB‑to‑RS‑232 adapters) is available on the Aviom website.
Updates take just a few minutes per module.
Pro64 Update Tool is designed to run on a PC under Microsoft® Windows® XP.
It has also been tested and found to be compatible with Microsoft Windows
Vista®. Mac users can run Pro64 Update Tool using Windows XP running
under Apple’s Boot Camp program on Intel‑based Macs.

AC Power
The following applies to the host device that the 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Card
is installed in.
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. 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).
Ventilation
Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment
racks. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other rack‑
mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amplifiers.
Cleaning
Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the
unit from the AC power source.
To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint‑free cloth that
has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth
slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to dry

9ma i n t a i n i n G Yo u r Pr o 64 Pr o d u C t
the surface of the unit before proceeding with use.
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.
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of your
Aviom products.

About A-Net
Aviom’s A‑Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed, and
optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinary Cat‑5e cables.
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 44.1kHz±
to 192kHz±, with ultra‑low latency, jitter, and wander. Pro64 devices can
be connected in any combination of serial (daisy‑chain) or parallel (star)
topologies. Cable runs between Pro64 devices can be up to 400 feet (120
meters) on Cat‑5e1, and miles on single‑ or multi‑mode fiber optics (using
Aviom fiber‑capable equipment such as the MH10f).
Because A‑Net is designed specifically for audio, the technological limitations
of Ethernet and Ethernet‑based products are removed, while audio
performance and system flexibility are increased. A‑Net incorporates Aviom’s
unique patented and patent‑pending algorithms for controlling clock jitter
and wander, as well as system‑wide latency—regardless of an installation’s
size, design, or clocking setup. A‑Net offers significant advantages in fidelity,
performance, and flexibility over Ethernet‑based products.
A‑Net uses the “physical” layer of Ethernet, but it eliminates all the protocol
elements that are designed for computers and IT‑style networking. In
audio applications, these other layers reduce efficiency, impose system
restrictions, and introduce latency and timing instability. By eliminating
Ethernet data structures, A‑Net creates a superior network, with enhanced
audio performance. With A‑Net and the Pro64 Series, Aviom continues to
break new ground in the design and development of innovative digital audio
networking technologies and solutions.

2x 88.2/96kHz 79.4kHz 104kHz
4x 176.4/192kHz 158.8kHz 208kHz
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
