Aviom A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor
Aviom A-Net Distributors, the A-16D and A-16D Pro, provide support for parallel connections of multiple Pro16 devices, including the A360, A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers. Each accepts one A-Net input and provides eight identical A-Net outputs using standard Cat-5e cables.
The 2U A-16D Pro is powered by an internal switching power supply, with a detachable power cord and IEC power inlet on the rear panel. Isolated (floating ground) DC power is supplied to eight A-Net outputs for providing remote power via Cat-5e to Pro16 Personal Mixers.
A single unpowered A-Net Thru is provided for daisy-chaining additional A-Net Distributors or other Pro16 devices, such as the AN-16/o v.4 Output Module. All network connections on the A-16D Pro use heavy duty locking Neutrik EtherCon connectors.
Inside the A-16D Pro is Aviom?s unique power sub-system, which virtually eliminates the possibility of introducing hum or ground loops into an audio system. alternatively, the half-rack space A-16D is powered by an external DC power supply and provides remote power over A-Net on a per-jack basis, using optional external PS-120 DC power supplies.
A-Net network connections use standard RJ45 jacks. The A-16D is a cost-effective method for distributing A-Net and power to Personal Mixers, providing redundant cable runs to back-up modules, or refreshing an A-Net signal where cable runs exceed 500ft/150m.
