Expanding a Personal Mixing System
Any number of Pro16 A-Net devices can be used in a personal mixing system, including multiple A-Net
Distributors. To expand a system, additional A-Net Distributors can be connected to any available
A-N
et
O
ut
port on a Pro16 device. In a Dante system, only one Dante-enabled A-Net Distributor is required;
systems can then be expanded by adding non-Dante versions of the A-Net Distributor.
Using Multiple A-Net Distributors
A-Net Distributors can be cascaded. To add another D400 to a system, simply connect a standard Cat-5
cable from the
A-N
et
O
ut
of the first D400 to the
A-N
et
I
N
on the second D400. See the following diagram
(the first D400 in the diagram can be a D400-Dante if the input sources are coming from a Dante network).

Two D400s connected in a daisy chain provide sixteen powered A-Net outputs. Any number of D400 A-Net
Distributors can be connected to provide additional expansion by connecting the

devices.
