Using Personal Mixers
When referring to the use of Aviom Personal Mixers in a personal mixing system in general, the term
Personal Mixer is used to describe a case where an A640 Personal Mixer, A360 Personal Mixer, A320
Personal Mixer, or A-16II Personal Mixer can be used.
Cat-5 Cables
In most cases unshielded Cat-5e, Cat-6, and Cat-6e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables can be
interchanged. When speaking about interconnections between components in a system, the term
Cat-5 is used generically to indicate the use of any of the applicable cable types.
A-Net Distributors
The D800, D800-Dante, D400, D400-Dante, A-16D and A-16D Pro A-Net Distributors are referred to
generically as A-Net Distributors. A-Net Distributors are used to copy an A-Net digital signal and split it
into multiple copies so that Personal Mixers may be connected in parallel.
Button Presses
When instructed to press a specic button on the A640 Personal Mixer, a special font style is used. For
example, “Press the View button.”
Network Channels and Slots
An Aviom A-Net digital audio network can transport up to 64 audio sources to be used by the
Personal Mixers connected to it. Each of the 64 network channels in the A-Net network is referred
to as a Slot. Each of the 64 Slots in an A-Net network is always available whether audio has been
assigned to it or not. The terms network channel and Slot are used interchangeably in this document.
