Aviom AN-16/o v.4 16-Ch Mic and Line Level Output Module

The Aviom AN-16/o v.4 Output Module connects to any Pro16 input module, console card, or A-Net distributor and provides 16 balanced TRS line-level analog outputs. Five output levels, from mic to +24dBu, are available to easily accommodate the level requirements of the gear its output signals are being connected to.

Use the AN-16/o v.4 anywhere analog outputs are required: on stage or at FOH in a digital snake, in the studio, for a recording split, or in even the most complex audio networks. Adding a digital split to a Pro16 system is as simple as connecting an additional AN-16/o v.4 Output Module.

Compatibility Note: AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules with serial numbers 51162 and lower are not compatible with the Pro16e A-Net output of the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module.

Product Details

The AN-16/o v.4 Output Module is a 1U rack-mount 16-channel digital-to-analog converter for Pro16® digital snake and audio distribution systems. Digital audio transmitted to the AN-16/o v.4 via Aviom's A-Net® Pro16 digital audio transmission protocol is converted to analog using 24-bit, 48kHz converters.

Sixteen balanced outputs are provided on the rear panel via DB25 multipin connectors. The analog outputs can be set (per channel pair) to +24dBu, +18dBu, +4dBu, or mic level.

Digital Snakes and Audio Networks

Use the AN-16/o v.4 anywhere analog outputs are required: on stage or FOH in a digital snake, in the studio, for a recording split, or in even the most complex audio networks. Adding a digital split to a Pro16 system is as simple as connecting an additional AN-16/o v.4 Output Module.

The AN-16/o v.4 can be connected to a Pro64 digital snake or audio network by adding the ASI A-Net Systems Interface.
