[. . . ] The ASI is not compatible with the A-Net output of Pro16 input devices such as the AN-16/i, AN-16/i-M, the Y1 console interface card (for Yamaha digital products) and D-16c card (for DiGiCo® digital products). 6 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 Pro64 Product Ventilation Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other rack-mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amplifiers. Cleaning Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the unit from the AC power source. To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint-free cloth that has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. [. . . ] This configuration is ideal for creating a digital snake and is capable of creating multiple digital splits of the stage source material for connection to a monitor console as well as to recording and broadcast devices. P Note: Never connect more than one cable between ports 9 and 10 except in Manual Mode Configuration C; doing so will result in a data loop.

Configuration C Example This example shows a stage-to-FOH application with a monitor console, a 64-channel recording split, and a broadcast feed from the front-ofhouse mix outputs. Two MH10 Merger Hubs are shown; MH10f hubs can be substituted. [. . . ]
