Aviom, Inc. via mail or fax as soon as possible. About A-Net A-Net® is a proprietary high-speed data transmission protocol developed by Aviom, capable of sending and receiving high-quality digital audio using readily available Cat-5 cables. A-Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology. This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on which to build. -
Page 11: About Category 5
Aviom products. Cat-5e Cables Any standard Cat-5e UTP cable may be used with your Aviom products. If you need a longer cable for a particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom cables to any length. -
Page 12: Cable Lengths
When using the SB4 System Bridge with Pro16 and Pro16e devices, the cable length specification applies to the total cable length between the two active A-Net devices being connected with the passive SB4 System Bridge, plus all cables. -
Page 13: Ac Line Conditioning
AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment. To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. -
Page 14: Sb4 System Bridge
Digital Snake Applications The SB4 System Bridge is designed to allow Pro16 I/O products (such as the AN-16/i -M Mic Input Module and AN-16/o Output Module) to be used together to create a digital snake or audio network with up to 64 inputs. -
Page 15: Sb4 Front Panel
Cat-5 Cable Lengths In most cases the SB4 System Bridge will be installed near the Pro16 and Pro16e devices that are connected to it. Keep the interconnecting Cat-5e cable runs as short as possible. The Cat-5e cables between the A-Net devices connected with a System Bridge must not exceed the maximum cable length of 500 feet (150 meters) if using all Pro16 devices or 400 feet (122 meters) if any Pro16e devices are part of the system. -
Page 16: Personal Mixing Systems
Using the SB4 System Bridge With a D800 The SB4 makes it easy to use multiple A-Net console cards in a digital mixing console to build a Pro16e personal mixing system. Up to four console cards may be connected, providing up to 64 input sources that can be assigned to the A360 Personal Mixer’s channel buttons. -
Page 17: Connecting A-Net Console Cards
Connecting A-Net Console Cards Connect the A-Net output from first A-Net card in the digital console to input port 1-16 on the SB4 rear panel. These channels will become the first 16 slots of the Pro16e network when the SB4 is connected to the D800 A-Net Distributor. -

Page 19: Using Console Cards Plus An Analog Input Device
One analog input device such as the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module can also be used in a personal mixing configuration with up to three digital console cards connected to the SB4 System Bridge to create a Pro16e stream (64 input sources total). -
Page 20: Connecting An Asi A-Net Systems Interface
SB4 is connected to a D800 A-Net Distributor. The four Pro16 outputs on the ASI are labeled the same as the SB4: 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, and 49-64. While the ports could be connected in any order, it is simplest just to match the port names on each device. -
Page 21: Pro16 Digital Snakes
Pro16 input and output devices available. The A-N from a Pro16 input module is connected to SB4 port 1-16 with a Cat-5e cable at one side of the digital snake (the stage, for example). The AN-16/o Output Module’s A-N is connected to port 1-16 at the other side of the digital snake (the front-of-house mix position). - Page 22 Following the pattern from example above, connect additional Pro16 I/O devices to the remaining pairs of ports (17-32, 33-48, and 49-64)) on the System Bridge. A complete digital snake system, in this case a 48 x 16 configuration, would look like the diagram that follows: SB4 S yStem ridge...
