Using an A-Net Distributor
The digital A-Net output from the AN-16/i v.2 may be connected to an A-Net distributor such as the
A-16D or A-16D Pro to allow Personal Mixers to be connected in parallel while at the same time being
powered over the Cat-5 cable. Using an A-Net distributor simplifies setup, eliminates the need for local
DC power supplies for the Personal Mixers, and cleans up the appearance on stage and in the recording
studio.
To use an A-Net distributor with a personal mixing system:
Connect a Cat-5 cable from the

on a AN-16/i v.2 to the
A-N

of an A-16D Pro
A-Net Distributor.
From the A-16D Pro, connect Cat-5 cables from any of its eight
2.
parallel A-Net outputs to
the
A-N

port on a Personal Mixer.
The Personal Mixers will not need local DC power supplies when connected in this manner.
A personal mixing system with six A-16II Personal Mixers connected in parallel with an A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor.
The Personal Mixers receive the same content in the same channel order from the AN-16/i v.2 as when the
devices are daisy chained.
