Adding Audio Outputs - Splits
The A-Net Out ports on the AN-16/o Output Modules are not used when configuring and patching a digital
snake system (with or without a System Bridge). This allows additional output modules to be added as
needed to suit a variety of audio situations, creating a digital split—an exact copy of the digital audio sent
to the device via A-Net.
Any Pro16 A-Net compatible product that has an
A-N
et
I
N
port can be connected to an
A-N
et
O
ut
port of a
device used in a digital snake. This includes:
•
AN-16/o Output Module
•
AV-P2 Output Module
To add a split:
First start by configuring the digital snake according to your basic needs (16 x 16,
1.
or 32 x 16, etc.).
Connect a Cat-5e cable from the
2.
A-N
et
O
ut
port of the AN-16/o Output Module whose
audio you wish to copy to the
A-N
et
I
N
port on the AN-16/o Output Module being used for
the split.
P

ote
:
The Cat-5e cable connected to the output device used for the digital split may be up to 400
feet (122 meters) in length for Pro16e devices or up to 500 feet (150 meters) if Pro16 A-Net
devices are connected.
In a digital snake application a Personal Mixer may also be added to create a monitor station, quality
control checkpoint, recording feed, etc. Compatible products include:
•
A360 Personal Mixer
•
A-16II Personal Mixer
•
A-16R Rack-mount Personal Mixer
