The DS32Mix supports 32 mic/line inputs and 16 returns. The inclusion of the industry standard Pro16 personal mixing system for monitoring makes this package a complete solution.

The digital snakes uses two AN-16/i-M Mic Input Modules; each of its input channels contains a three-segment level meter, a continuously variable gain knob, a phase reverse switch, 48-volt phantom power, and a rumble filter with an 85Hz rolloff.

Two AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules provide the signals from the snake that connect into the FOH console. The 16 balanced outputs on the AN-16/o v.4 are provided via DB25 multipin connectors. The analog outputs can be set (per channel pair) to +24dBu, +18dBu, +4dBu, or mic level. Returns are handled by an AN-16/i v.2 Input Module at FOH and a AN-16/o v.4 on stage.

The four included A-16II Personal Mixers give each performer control over channel volume, grouping, pan, stereo spread, and master volume and tone. Every Personal Mixer in a system can create a unique monitor mix for a performer. Users can save and recall up to sixteen custom mixes as presets in their Personal Mixer.

The A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor simplifies monitor system setup, providing both A-Net data and DC power to each connected Personal Mixer. Each A-16D Pro supports up to eight Personal Mixers, and additional Personal Mixers can be connected by daisy chaining (with power supplied locally) or with additional A-Net Distributors.

Using the supplied AN-16SBR System Bridge all audio for the 32x16 digital snake, plus the 16-channels of monitoring content, travels over a single Cat-5e cable that can be up to 500ft/150m long.
