AN-16/o v.4 Output Module
The AN-16/o v.4 Output Module connects to any Pro16 input module, console card, or A-Net distributor and provides 16 balanced line-level analog outputs using two DB25 multi-pin connectors.
Four output levels, from mic to +24dBu, are available to easily accommodate the input level requirements of the device the AN-16/o v.4 output signals are being connected to. Use the AN-16/o v.4 anywhere analog outputs are required: with the A640, A360, and D800's Network Mix Back feature for wireless in-ears, on stage or at FOH in a digital snake, in the studio, or for a recording split.
Compatibility Note
AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules with serial numbers 51162 and lower (from 2013 and before) are only compatible with the original version of the Pro16 A-Net protocol and not the higher channel count Pro16e version of A-Net. The Pro16e version of A-Net is used by the AN-16/i v.2 as well as the D800 and D400 series of A-Net Distributors.
Features
- 16 balanced mic- or line-level outputs
- Four-position output level switch per channel pair
- +24, +18, and +4dBu line-level, or mic-level outputs
- 48kHz, 24-bit D/A converters
- DB25 output connectors (Tascam® analog pinout)
Product Details
The AN-16/o v.4 Output Module is a 1U rack-mount 16-channel digital-to-analog converter for Pro16® digital snake and audio distribution systems. Digital audio transmitted to the AN-16/o v.4 via Aviom's A-Net® Pro16 protocol is converted to analog using 24-bit, 48kHz converters.
Sixteen balanced outputs are provided on the rear panel via DB25 multi-pin connectors wired to the Tascam analog standard, allowing you to choose whatever cable length and connector format suits your application.
Connecting to Wireless IEM Systems
In personal mixing systems using the A640 and/or A360 Personal Mixers with the D800 or D800-Dante A-Net Distributors, the AN-16/o v.4 simplifies connections to wireless IEM systems using Network Mix Back.
Each A640 or A360 sends its stereo mix output back into the network, which appears as a pair of channels on the AN-16/o v.4. Each AN-16/o v.4 supports up to eight A640 or A360 mixers. Simply patch the analog outputs on the AN-16/o v.4 into the IEM transmitter's inputs—no analog cables are required at the mixer on stage.

Digital Snakes and Audio Networks
Use the AN-16/o v.4 anywhere analog outputs are required: on stage or FOH in a digital snake, in the studio, for a recording split, or in even the most complex audio networks.
Adding a digital split to a Pro16 system is as simple as connecting an additional AN-16/o v.4 Output Module. The flexibility and simplicity of the Pro16 Series allows complex audio distribution systems and splits to be created quickly and cost-effectively.
