[. . . ] At every point in the Manual Mode network, two 64-channel streams are available on the cable and in each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact About A-Net 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 Pro16TM Series output products such as the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System by adding the Pro64 ASI A-Net Systems Interface. This 1U module converts Pro64 data to Pro16 data, providing up to four streams of 16-channel data (depending on the Pro64 sample rate) that can be used with A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers, A-Net Distributors, and AN-16/o Output Modules. (The ASI is not compatible with the A-Net output of Pro16 input devices such as the AN-16/i and AN-16/i-M and console interface cards such as the Y1 and D-16c. ) About A-Net AC Power Always plug the unit into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Always use the AC line cord that was shipped with the unit. Grasp the power cable by the connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting it from the power source. 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. 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. Power outlet strips are available with built-in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment. Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptiblepowersupply, or UPS). Rack Mounting Pro64 products are designed to be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack. The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight of the product without additional hardware. Each rack ear contains holes for two screws per side. Always support the unit with all four screws to avoid damage to the unit. To rack mount the Pro64 product, position it in the equipment rack at the desired location. Use standard rack-mounting screws (10-32 size) to attach the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screws firmly, but avoid overtightening. Aviom suggests the use of non-metallic washers between the rackmounting screws and the device's finished surface to avoid marring the finish on your Aviom products. MAiNtAiNiNg Your Pro Product Ventilation Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks.
