Aviom A16D Pro 8-Port Rackmount A-Net Audio Distributor

The Aviom A-16D Pro is an 8-port audio and power distribution module, housed in a 2-space, 19" metal rack case and made for use with that company's personal monitoring and mixing system. The A-16D Pro adheres to Aviom's proprietary A-Net protocol, an Ethernet-based technology that delivers high-speed transmission of uncompressed, very low latency audio over distances of up to 500 ft., using a standard Category-5 computer network cable with RJ45 connectors.

The ingenious power distribution of the A-16D Pro is designed so that 8 simultaneous channels of isolated DC power are sent and directly connected, to Aviom personal mixers and other components (including another A-16D Pro) along with the audio, through a single Category-5 cable in parallel fashion. This manner of distribution enables an easier, faster and cleaner remote setup, eliminating the need for extra power strips and concerns over remote AC access.

The A-16D Pro itself features an internally switching power supply, with a standard IEC connector. The rugged Neutrik EtherCon cable connectors, housed in an XLR-style barrel, are another recommending professional feature of this unit.

The A-16D Pro and the entire A-Net series, represents a genuinely innovative development in wired personal monitoring technology, for the benefit of live music performance and studio recording, commercial and institutional installations, theater installations and houses of worship, at a breakthrough price point.
