About A-Net

Aviom’s A‑Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed, and

optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinary Cat‑5e cables.

As implemented in the Pro64® Series products, A‑Net can transmit up to 128

channels of uncompressed 24‑bit audio with the reliability and fidelity of

analog, and the power and flexibility of a true digital network.

Pro64 A‑Net allows variable sample rates in three ranges, from 44.1kHz±

to 192kHz±, with ultra‑low latency, jitter, and wander. Pro64 devices can

be connected in any combination of serial (daisy‑chain) or parallel (star)

topologies. Cable runs between Pro64 devices can be up to 400 feet (120

meters) on Cat‑5e

, and miles on single‑ or multi‑mode fiber optics (using

Aviom fiber‑capable equipment such as the MH10f ).

Because A‑Net is designed specifically for audio, the technological limitations

of Ethernet and Ethernet‑based products are removed, while audio

performance and system flexibility are increased. A‑Net incorporates Aviom’s

unique patented and patent‑pending algorithms for controlling clock jitter

and wander, as well as system‑wide latency—regardless of an installation’s

size, design, or clocking setup. A‑Net offers significant advantages in fidelity,

performance, and flexibility over Ethernet‑based products.

A‑Net uses the “physical” layer of Ethernet, but it eliminates all the protocol

elements that are designed for computers and IT‑style networking. In

audio applications, these other layers reduce efficiency, impose system

restrictions, and introduce latency and timing instability. By eliminating

Ethernet data structures, A‑Net creates a superior network, with enhanced

audio performance. With A‑Net and the Pro64 Series, Aviom continues to

break new ground in the design and development of innovative digital audio

networking technologies and solutions.

Pro64 Series Supported Sample Rates

Sample Rate Minimum Maximum

1x 44.1/48kHz 39.7kHz 52kHz

2x 88.2/96kHz 79.4kHz 104kHz

4x 176.4/192kHz 158.8kHz 208kHz

Clocking

The Pro64 network offers the most flexible clocking and synchronization

options in the industry. Pro64 devices support three ranges of variable sample

rates, from 44.1/48kHz± to 192kHz±. Because no sample rate converters are
