A-Net Out Port
On the standard version of the D800, the A-Net Out port supplies a copy of the Pro16e A-Net stream (up to
64 slots) that is connected to the A-Net IN port. On the D800-Dante version of the product, the A-Net Out
also supplies an exact copy of the input source, but note that the source is selectable between the Dante
stream connected to the Dante interface’s Dante Primary or Secondary port and the A-Net stream
connected to the A-Net IN port. (Configuration of the Dante Primary and Secondary ports must be done
using the Dante Controller PC software available from Audinate.) A DIP switch on the Dante interface is
used to select the source. See page 23 for additional information.
Use the A-Net Out port to connect additional A-Net Distributors, including other versions of the D800,
as well as the A-16D and A-16D Pro A-Net Distributors. This enables more than eight Personal Mixers to
be used with the same input sources when configuring personal mixing systems for more than eight
performers.
The A-Net Out port may also be connected directly to a Personal Mixer as a ninth network output, but
remember that this port does not carry DC power for the Personal Mixer, so an optional external power
supply (such as the PS-120) will be required. The rear panel A-Net Out also does not support the Network
Mix Back or iOS features.
A Pro16 output device such as the AN-16/o v.4 Output Module may also be connected to the D800’s
A-Net Out port. Since the AN-16/o v.4 is a Pro16 device it can only output slots 1-16 of the network. Slots
17-64 are ignored.
