Using the D400 With the D800 and A-16D Pro
A D800 (or D800-Dante) may be used along with an A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor in the same system.
Connecting a D400 and/or an A-16D Pro after a D800 allows up to 64 network slots to be transmitted to
every port on each A-Net Distributor; use this as the default patching method if you are using A320 and
A360 Personal Mixers. Up to 64 inputs may be made active in the network by using analog input devices,
console cards connected to an SB4 System Bridge and D800, or a Dante network.
To connect a D800 A-Net Distributor to a D400 and an A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor, patch a Cat-5 cable
from the
A-N
et
O
ut
port on the D800 or D800-Dante’s rear panel to the
A-N

on the front panel of the
D400. Patch another cable from

on the D400 to
A-N

on the A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor.

to expand a network.
All network slots (up to 64) are available at each of the A-Net Distributor’s outputs. Connect Personal
Mixers as needed. The legacy A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers will use network slots 1-16 only and will
ignore slots 17-64. A320 Personal Mixers will use slots 1-32 of the network, ignoring slots 33-64. The A-Net
Offset Base Slot DIP switches can be used to select specific content ranges to be used by A320 and/or
A-16II Personal Mixers.
A360 Personal Mixers can make use of any active slot. Any A360 Personal Mixers connected to a D400
or A-16D Pro cannot use the Network Mix Back or iOS features; these are unique to the D800 A-Net
Distributors.
Expand the system further with another A-16D Pro by connecting
