A bout A-N etAbout A-NetAviom’s A-Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed,and optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinaryCat-5e cables. As implemented in the Pro64™ Series products, A-Netcan transmit up to 128 channels of uncompressed 24-bit audio with thereliability and fidelity of analog, and the power and flexibility of a truedigital network.Pro64 A-Net allows variable sample rates in three ranges, from 44.1kHz±to 192kHz±, with ultra-low latency, jitter, and wander. Pro64 devicescan be connected in any combination of serial (daisy-chain) or parallel(star) topologies. Cable runs between Pro64 devices can be up to 400feet (120 meters) on Cat-5e1, and miles on fiber optics (with Aviom fiber-capable equipment).Because A-Net is designed specifically for audio, the technologicallimitations of Ethernet and Ethernet-based products are removed,while audio performance and system flexibility are increased. A-Netincorporates Aviom’s unique patented and patent-pending algorithmsfor controlling clock jitter and wander, as well as system-wide latency—regardless of an installation’s size, design, or clocking setup. A-Netoffers significant advantages in fidelity, performance, and flexibilityover Ethernet-based products.A-Net uses the “physical” layer of Ethernet, but it eliminates all theprotocol elements that are designed for computers and IT-stylenetworking. 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 superiornetwork, with enhanced audio performance. With A-Net and thePro64 Series, Aviom continues to break new ground in the design anddevelopment of innovative digital audio networking technologies andsolutions.Pro64 Series Supported Sample RatesSample Rate Minimum Maximum1x 44.1/48kHz 39.7kHz 52kHz2x 88.2/96kHz 79.4kHz 104kHz4x 176.4/192kHz 158.8kHz 208kHz1 Cat-5e, Cat-6, or better, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable
