an AN‑16/o Output Module that you want to use to expand
the system.
Each additional AN‑16/o that you want to add is connected
•
by patching a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out jack on the
module preceding it to its A‑Net In jack.
Using an A-Net Distributor
While the A‑16D and A‑16D Pro Distributors are not compatible with the data
being generated by the A‑Net Expansion ports on the AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M and
AN‑16/o, you
can
use a distributor to add wiring flexibility to your system.

Multiple splits are connected to an A-Net Distributor.
In this diagram, an A‑16D Distributor receives A‑Net from an AN‑16/o Output
Module connected to a digital snake configured as 16 x 16. In the example,
only audio channels 17‑32 are being redistributed to the additional A‑Net
devices. From the A‑16D, up to eight Pro16 A‑Net devices can be connected.
The diagram shows three AN‑16/o Output Modules connected. Each can
provide sixteen discrete outputs.
An A‑16R rack mounted Personal Mixer is also shown connected to the
Distributor as a personal monitor station. The A‑16R can be used to mix and
monitor the same audio content in stereo. The Cat‑5e cable run between
the AN‑16/o and the A‑16D Distributor can be up to 500 feet long, as can the
cable from the A‑16D to each of the A‑Net devices connected to it.
