• EtherCon® RJ45 network connectors • Three Manual Mode configurations Multiple MH10 Merger Hubs can be used when creating a Pro64 audio network. The EtherCon Connector Pro64 Series products feature locking connectors for all network I/O. The Neutrik® EtherCon connector is a dual RJ45-type connector that can receive a standard Category 5e cable or a cable fitted with the special locking EtherCon connector. -

Page 11: About A-Net
By eliminating Ethernet data structures, A-Net creates a superior network, with enhanced audio performance. With A-Net and the Pro64 Series, Aviom continues to break new ground in the design and development of innovative digital audio networking technologies and solutions. -
Page 12: Clocking
Control Data The Pro64 Series has built-in, dedicated bandwidth for 14 channels of non-audio control data through the use of Aviom’s innovative Virtual Data Cables™. These data streams are always available to carry MIDI, RS-232, or GPIO (General Purpose I/O), and they never compete with the audio channels for network resources, regardless of the system configuration. -

on the makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can direct A-Net data from an input module to a specific port (A, B, or both). Output modules can be configured to output audio signals from a specific port (A or B). Support For Pro16 Series Products Pro64 Series products can be combined with Pro16™... -
Page 14: Ac Power
Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp environments. 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. -
Page 15: Ventilation
Always be sure to dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. -

Manual Mode is selected at the Control Master, the selected Manual Mode Configuration is automatically applied. The corresponding LED on the front panel of the MH10 will also light when Manual Mode is active. When multiple MH10 Merger Hubs are used in a network, note that each can be configured as needed, making complex Manual Mode networks easy to set up. -
Page 23: Mh10 Configurations
Each A-Net port on the MH10 is always contributing its data to the Pro64 data stream (as in the case of a 6416i Input Module, for example) while at the same time distributing the network data. -

The audio inputs are merged in the MH10 and a 64-channel stream is sent out of Port 10. One Cat-5e cable spans the distance from stage to the front-of-house mixer. Port 10 is connected to a group of four output modules at FOH which are connected to the mixing console (marked as “Stage Outputs”).

ASI (connected to Port 8) translates Pro64 data for use with Pro16 monitoring devices. Again, any of the ports numbered 1-9 on the MH10 can be connected to additional Pro64 devices for splits. Remember that any output devices connected in series to any Pro64 device already connected to the MH10 can also output the content coming from the FOH engineer. - Page 27 Two MH10 Merger Hubs are used. Inputs on the stage (mic, line-level, or digital) are connected to Ports 1-8 of the MH10 on stage. Port 8 on this MH10 is connected to output modules that feed the monitor console and recording devices.
