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 AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module to each A‑Net device
connected to the system.

4AN -16/i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
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
PNo t e :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.
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).
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 Cat‑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�

5AN -16/i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
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.
RJ45 Jack Cat-5 Cable
Cat-5 Cables
The cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any
standard 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 Cat‑5e cables, Category 6 (Cat‑6) cables can also be
used.
PNo t e : 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 and is not
compatible with your Aviom equipment.
Cable Lengths
Cat‑5e cables used with your Aviom products can be up to 500 feet
(approximately 150 meters) in length between devices. The maximum cable
length specification applies to the cable connected between the AN‑16/i‑M
Mic Input Module and the first Pro16 output module (or Personal Mixer) in
your system as well as for cable runs between each additional Pro16 A‑Net
compatible device in your system.

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.

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

7AN -16/i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
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).
Rack Mounting
The AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module is designed to be installed in a standard
19‑inch audio equipment rack. Each unit takes up three standard rack spaces
(19 inches wide by 5.25 inches high).
The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight
of the AN‑16/i‑M without additional hardware. Each rack ear contains holes
for two screws per side. Always support the unit with all four screws.
To rack mount Mic Input Module, position it in the equipment rack at the
desired location. Use standard rack‑mounting screws (10‑32 size) to attach
the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screws firmly, but avoid
overtightening.
Aviom suggests the use of non‑metallic washers between the rack‑mounting
screws and the device’s finished surface to avoid marring the painted finish
on your Aviom products.
Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks.
Avoid placing your AN‑16/i‑M directly above or below other rack‑mounted
devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amps.

8AN -16/i-M Mi c iN p u t Mo d u l e us e r Gu i d e
EtherCon Connector
Some Aviom products use EtherCon® Cat‑5 connectors. The Neutrik EtherCon
connector is a dual RJ45 type connector. It can receive a standard Cat‑5e
cable or a cable fitted with the special heavy‑duty EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat‑5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the
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 cable, the kind commonly
used on microphones. 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.
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.
PNo t e : Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the finished surfaces of
your Aviom products.
