Aviom D800 A-Net Distributor with A-Net Bridge input

Aviom’s series of D800 A-Net® Distributors provides sup-port for parallel connections of up to eight Pro16® devices, including the A360, A320, A-16II, and A-16R Personal Mix-ers, along with additional network connectivity options.

The standard D800 includes a Pro16e™ A-Net input, compatible  with  all  Pro16  Series  and  Pro16e-capable  devices.  This input port also supports an A-Net Bridge input, allow-ing up to four synchronous Pro16 A-Net streams to be con-nected.  Used  in  conjunction  with  the  SB4  System  Bridge  and Pro16 A-Net console cards, the D800 can be used for sending up to 64 channels directly from a digital console to the Personal Mixers.

All versions of the D800 A-Net Distributor include a Mixes Out  port  for  the  A360’s  Network  Mix  Back™  feature.  The  D800 creates a 16-channel Pro16e A-Net stream comprised of the eight stereo mixes from connnected A360 Personal Mixers. No setup or routing is required at the D800 or the A360.  By  connecting  the  Mixes  Out  port  on  the  D800  to  an AN-16/o v.4 Output Module, these stereo mixes can be connected to the transmitter units for the musicians’ wire-less in-ear monitors, eliminating the need for analog cables from the A360s to the transmitters and keeping all analog connections  off  stage.  On  the  D800-Dante,  Network  Mix  Back audio is also available to the Dante network.

All  versions  of  the  D800  include  a  rear-panel  Ethernet  port,  which  can  be  connected  to  a  standard  Wi-Fi  router.  By connecting an iOS device—Apple® iPhone®, iPod touch®, or  iPad®—to  the  Wi-Fi  network,  musicians  can  extend  the  user interface of their A360 onto their device’s touchscreen by using the free A360 Display app.

The 2U D800 is powered by an internal switching power supply, with a detachable power cord and IEC power inlet on the rear panel. Isolated (fl  oating  ground)  DC  power  is  supplied to eight A-Net outputs for providing remote power via Cat-5e to Personal Mixers. All network connections on the D800 use heavy duty locking RJ45 connectors.

An unlimited number of D800 and D800-Dante A-Net Dis-tributors can be used in an A-Net network, and all versions of the D800 are compatible with all Pro16 Series devices.
