USA - Aviom, developer of the audio transport protocol, A-Net, has increased its connectivity options with the release of its AN-16/o v.4 Output Module, making its industry debut at PLASA 2008. The flexibility offered by this new Pro16 Series output module simplifies connectivity with other manufacturers' mixing consoles, amplifiers, powered speaker systems, and recording devices, says the company.

Designed for live sound reinforcement and other audio distribution applications, the AN-16/o v.4 is compatible with a wide range of signal level requirements. Each pair of channels on the 1U rack-mount 16-channel digital-to-analog converter has a four-position output level switch with settings for +24, +18, and +4dBu line-level, or mic-level output. All channels feature front-panel LEDs for signal present and clip. The AN-16/o v.4 comes equipped with DB25 multipin connectors for analogue audio outputs, reducing setup time and providing the additional security of a locking connection.

The AN-16/o v.4 can be used both on stage and at front of house. Adding a split for recording or broadcast is as quick as running a Cat 5e cable to the additional locations and connecting additional AN-16/o v.4 modules as needed. Any number of AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules can be connected in a system, providing unlimited lossless digital splitting of an audio stream.
