When a proper A-Net connection between the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module and a Pro16 Personal Mixer or
output module exists, the A-Net LED on the receiving device will light.
Slot Range Switch
The enhanced version of Pro16 A-Net, Pro16e, allows up to 64 channels of audio data to be made available
to A360 Personal Mixers in a single data stream. Each AN-16/i v.2 in a system may be set to provide one of
four banks of channels: 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, or 49-64. The Slot Range switch on the AN-16/i v.2 determines
which bank of channels each device’s TRS balanced inputs will be assigned to as the data streams are
merged.
The Slot Range switch has four bank settings.
For a 16-channel system set the switch to
1-16
; this setting is compatible with A360, A-16II, and A-16R
Personal Mixers and the AN-16/o and AV-P2 Output Modules.

Pro16 devices, including A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers, and the AN-16/o and AV-P2
Output Modules cannot use any channel data beyond the 1-16 range.
For Pro16e personal mixing systems of 32 channels and above, each AN-16/i v.2 in a system must be set to
a unique Slot Range. Set the first AN-16/i v.2 to Slot Range
1-16
. Connect its

port on the second AN-16/i v.2. Set the Slot Range on this AN-16/i v.2 to
17-32
. The A-Net Out of this
AN-16/i v.2 now provides a 32-channel Pro16e A-Net Stream.
The following table shows how the daisy chain connection of one through four AN-16/i v.2 Input Modules
can create a 64-channel Pro16e stream.
