[. . . ] Refer to the documentation that came with the microphone for additional information. Power Connector The AV-M8 Mic Input Module comes with an internal switching-type power supply. This type of power supply can be used worldwide with a wide range of AC wall current output voltages (100-240VAC). When travelling internationally, you do not need to replace the power supply in countries where voltages are different. You may, however, need plug adapters to allow the power supply to be connected to wall outlets in some countries, since many countries use different physical plug layouts for their power systems. Optionally, the detachable IEC power cord can be replaced with one that matches the local power system. Rear-Panel Ventilation To the right of the power connections are a series of ventilation holes that help keep the AV-M8 cool. Do not block or alter the ventilation holes in any way. ON AV-M8 STEREO LINK POWER CLOCK SOURCE ADAT ® INTERNAL ADAT Stereo Link Switch 250VAC- F4AL OUT CH 9-16 IN The AV-M8 Mic Input Module's Stereo Link feature provides an easy solution for stereo input sources such as CD/DVD players, computer sound card audio outputs, etc. The Stereo Link switch turns a pair of adjacent channels on the AV-M8 into a stereo channel pair that can be controlled as a single source on the Pro16 Personal Mixer products (the A-16II and A-16R) or the AV-P2 Output Module. Channels are grouped in pairs--Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4, etc. --when using the stereo linking feature. Stereo pairs are always made from an odd-even pair. When the Power LED is lit, the AV-M8 is outputting A-Net. ADAT® Digital I/O The AV-M8 includes digital I/O designed to allow two AV-M8 modules to be linked together, creating a single 16-channel A-Net stream. ADAT® Lightpipe® digital connections are used, allowing simple plug-and-play operation when creating a 16-channel system. AV-M8 STEREO LINK POWER ON CLOCK SOURCE AV-M8 STEREO LINK POWER ON CLOCK SOURCE ADAT ® ADAT ® INTERNAL ADAT 250VAC- F4AL OUT CH 9-16 IN EXPANSION OUT INTERNAL ADAT OUT CH 9-16 IN EXPANSION Engage a Stereo Link by pushing the DIP switch to the up position. In this diagram channels 3-4 are linked (shown in solid black). When using the AV-M8 Input Module with AN-16/o Output Modules, the setting of the Stereo Link switch will have no effect. ADAT Clock Source (left) and digital I/O connections (right) Two Lightpipe connections are provided, In and Out, as well as a clock source switch that allows the Pro16 network clock source to be set to internal clock or to the clock imbedded within the ADAT digital signal. Cables for the ADAT I/O use standard, readily-available Toslink® connections. Lightpipe cables of up to three meters can be used. Power LED The center of the AV-M8 Mic Input Module rear panel interface contains the Power LED. This indicator shows that power is connected to the unit. When the AV-M8 is powered up, a valid A-Net signal is being generated. Clock Source The Clock Source switch selects either the internal A-Net clock or the clock imbedded within the ADAT digital signal as the network clock. When only one AV-M8 is used, the clock source should be set to Internal. When using two AV-M8 modules to create a 16-channel A-Net stream, the AV-M8 receiving ADAT data should be set to use the ADAT clock. The ADAT clock received at the ADAT In port is not available at the ADAT Out port. Do not link more than two AV-M8 units via Lightpipe. A-Net Connections Two A-Net® connections are provided on the rear panel of the AV-M8 Mic Input Module. There is one A-Net Out port and one A-Net Expansion port. AV-M8 SOURCE ADAT ® ADAT OUT CH 9-16 IN EXPANSION OUT Connect A-Net Out on the AV-M8 to the A-Net In on a Pro16 monitoring or output device. Use A-Net Expansion for creating networks of up to 32 channels using only one Cat-5e cable. A-Net Out The A-Net Out port sends eight channels of digital A-Net data from the AV-M8 to an A-Net compatible device such as the AN-16/o Output Module, A-16II, A-16R, or AV-P2 Output Module. [. . . ] Connect 16 mic- or line-level audio sources to inputs 1-16 on the first Pro16 Series input module. Connect a Cat-5e cable from the a-Net out port on the first input module to the a-Net expaNSIoN port on the first output module. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Plug a Cat-5e cable into the a-Net IN port on the first output module. This cable will be used to span up to 500 feet/150 meters between the two sides of the network. [. . . ]
