Pro16 Digital Snakes

The SB4 is used in pairs when configuring a digital snake system. When using Pro16 products

such as the AN-16/i v.2, AN-16/i-M, and AN-16/o, up to four of each I/O module can be used

with one System Bridge pair. Pro16 products can be combined as needed to create a flexible

and easily reconfigured system with up to 64 total inputs suited to a wide variety of audio

applications. An input device is always paired with an output device in a digital snake

configuration.

Use a pair of System Bridges to congure a digital snake.

There is a one-to-one relationship between the pairs of like-named ports on the System Bridge rear panels

in a digital snake system. The Pro16 device connected to the port labeled 1-16 on one System bridge is

always feeding A-Net to the device connected to the matching port 1-16 on the other System Bridge, etc.

For example, if an AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module is used on the stage side of a digital snake, a corresponding

AN-16/o Output Module will be used at the front-of-house mix position—analog in feeds analog out, and

likewise A-Ne t ou t of the AN-16/i-M feeds the A-Ne t IN on the AN-16/o.

Connecting Pro16 Devices

The examples below illustrate how to set up a Pro16 digital snake. They use generic icons to represent the

various Pro16 input and output devices available.

The A-Ne t ou t from a Pro16 input module is connected to SB4 port 1-16 with a Cat-5e cable at one side of

the digital snake (the stage, for example). The AN-16/o Output Module’s A-Ne t IN is connected to port 1-16

at the other side of the digital snake (the front-of-house mix position).
