AN-16/i v.2 Rear Panel
On the rear of the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module you will find the DC power connector, A-Net connections, Slot
Range switch, sixteen balanced TRS analog audio inputs, and the sixteen audio Thru jacks.
Signal routing into and out of the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module has been designed to be extremely flexible,
allowing the AN-16/i v.2 to integrate into virtually any audio environment.

Power Connector
The AN-16/i v.2 Input Module comes with a switching-type power supply. This type of power supply can
be used with a wide range of AC wall current outputs. This means that you do not need to replace the
power supply if the unit will be used in countries where current voltages are different if you travel with
your Aviom gear occasionally. (You may, however, need plug adapters to allow the power supply to be
connected to wall outlets internationally since many countries use different physical plug layouts for their
power systems.)
A-Net Connections
Two A-Net connections appear on the rear panel of the AN-16/i v.2; they are marked
A-N
et
I
N
and
A-N
et
O
ut
.
A-Net In
The
A-N
et
I
N
port accepts the Pro16 or Pro16e A-Net data from another A-Net compatible device. Any A-Net
data connected to this port will be merged with the digital data generated by the AN-16/i v.2 and output
as a single Pro16e data stream intended for use with the A360 Personal Mixer. It is important to set the Slot
Range switch to the correct position on each AN-16/i v.2 in a system when making use of the data merging
capabilities provided by the A-Net In port. When creating a system that has only 16 or fewer inputs, the
A-Net In port will not be used; in this case the Slot Range switch must be set to
1-16
.
Use any standard Cat-5e cable for connections between devices. Remember that the maximum cable
length between devices is 400 feet (122 meters).
See page 31 for additional information about setting up Pro16e personal mixing systems with the A360
Personal Mixer.
A-Net Out
The
A-N
et
O
ut
port sends the merged Pro16e A-Net data (up to 64 channels total) from the AN-16/i v.2
to an A-Net compatible device such as the A360 Personal Mixer, A-16II Personal Mixer, or AN-16/o Output
Module. See page 26 for information about configuring personal mixing systems; see page 38 for digital
snake setup.
