Aviom AN-16i/M 6-Channel Rackmount Mic/Line Personal Monitor Input Module

The Aviom AN-16/i-M is a 3U mic- and line-level input module with sixteen high-quality microphone preamps and 24- bit, 48kHz analog-to-digital converters. Digital audio is output on standard Cat- 5e cables, via Aviom's A-Net Pro16 digital audio protocol.

The module can be used as the head end of Pro16 Monitor Mixing Systems, or with other AN-Series products to create modular digital snakes and audio distribution systems, with up to 64 channels on a single Cat-5e cable.

Each channel on the AN-16/i-M features a three-segment LED level meter, variable gain control, phase invert, 48-volt phantom power and an 85Hz low-cut filter. In addition, each pair of channels can be stereo-linked for stereo mix control on Pro16 Personal Mixers.

On the rear panel, each channel has a combo input jack that accepts both XLR mic and ¼" balanced line-level inputs. Sixteen passive XLR Thru connectors provide a built in microphone splitter. Balanced insert points with independent ¼" TRS Send and Return jacks provide an easy interface to external processing devices. Insert sends can also be used as post-gain line-level direct outputs.

Two parallel A-Net outputs allow the AN-16/i-M to send A-Net Pro16 data to multiple destinations simultaneously, such as a monitor console and a front-of-house console. Both A-Net outputs feature heavy duty locking Neutrik EtherCon connectors. An A-Net Expansion jack supports 32- channel systems (16x16 or 32x0) and the AN-16SB can be used to combine up to 64 channels onto a single cable.
