The Aviom AN-16/i-M is a 3U-high rack-mounted mic- and
line-level input device with sixteen high-quality microphone preamps and
24-bit A-to-D converters. Each channel contains a three-segment level
meter, a continuously variable gain knob, a phase reverse switch, 48-volt
phantom power, and a rumble filter with an 85Hz rolloff. In addition,
each pair of channels can be Stereo Linked for stereo operation in a Pro16
Monitor Mixing System.
The rear panel of the Aviom AN-16/i-M contains a host of professional
connectivity features. Each channel has a combo jack that can accept either
XLR mic or 1/4-inch line-level (balanced or unbalanced) inputs. Sixteen
passive mic Thru connectors create a built-in microphone splitter. Balanced
insert points with separate 1/4-inch Send and Return jacks allow easy
interfacing with external processing devices. The sixteen insert Sends
can also be used as a set of post-gain direct audio outputs. The Aviom
AN-16/i-M uses an internal power supply with a standard IEC power connector.
Two parallel A-Net outputs allow the Aviom AN-16/i-M to send A-Net data
to multiple destinations, allowing for simultaneous patching to a monitor
console and a front-of-house console. Both A-Net outputs feature heavy
duty Neutrik EtherCon combo RJ45 connectors. The built-in A-Net Expansion
jack allows two 16-channel A-Net streams to be combined onto a single
cable (32x0 or 16x16), and the Aviom AN-16SBR
System Bridge can be used to combine up to four 16-channel streams onto
a single cable in a variety of bi-directional configurations.
As with all Aviom Pro16 Series products, Cat-5e cable runs of up to 500
feet (150 meters) are possible between devices.
