In Auto Mode, there are no connection rules; connect a Cat‑5e cable to either
the A or B port and the network does the rest. Auto Mode provides a true
audio network with 64 available “Slots” for transporting audio (at 44.1/48kHz).
Every audio Slot is available everywhere in the network, with no upstream/
downstream restrictions.
In Manual Mode, the Pro64 network becomes a 64x64 system (at 48kHz),
similar to a traditional stage‑to‑FOH snake. At every point in the Manual
Mode network, two 64‑channel streams are available on the cable and in
each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact on the
makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can
direct A‑Net data from a Pro64 input module to a specific port (A, B, or both).
Likewise, Pro64 output modules can be configured to output audio signals
received from a specific Pro64 network port (A or B).
Support For Pro16 Series Products
Pro64 Series products can be combined with Pro16® Series output products
such as the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System by adding the Pro64 ASI A‑Net
Systems Interface. This 1U module converts Pro64 data to Pro16 data,
providing up to four 16‑channel streams of data (depending on the Pro64
sample rate) that can be used with A‑16II and A‑16R Personal Mixers, A‑Net
Distributors, and AN‑16/o Output Modules.
The ASI is not compatible with the A‑Net output of Pro16 input modules such
as the AN‑16/i and AN‑16/i‑M and console interface cards such as the Y1.
