Four Neutrik EtherCon connectors, labeled A, B, C, and D (16 channels each)
- One Neutrik EtherCon connector for Bridge output (up to 64 channels)
- Requires no power supply
- Multiple AN-16SBR units can be used to create complex systems
At each end of a main run, one AN-16SBR is used to combine or separate up to four 16-channel A-Net streams onto a single Cat-5 cable. The combined Bridge output carries up to 64 channels. All network connections feature heavy-duty locking Neutrik EtherCon connectors.
The AN- 16SBR supports the following configurations: 64x0, 48X16, 32x32 or smaller. All Pro16 Series products are compatible with the AN-16SBR.
The System Bridge requires no DC power.

All 48 channels are transported via A-Net using a single Cat-5e cable to FOH, where three AN-16/o Output Modules convert the digital audio to analog for connection to the mixing console.
Sixteen channels of return lines from FOH travel over the same Cat-5e cable by incorporating a digital console card and an AN-16/o Output Module.
The AN- 16SBR System Bridge is used to combine the A-Net streams from four devices onto a single Cat-5e cable.
An AN-16/i Input Module can be substituted for return lines from an analog console.

The console in this example is fitted with two Y1 A-Net Cards, which send 16 channels of monitor content and up to 16 channels of returns back to the stage. AN-16/i Input Modules can be substituted for returns from an analog console.
Click image to enlarge With the addition of a pair of AN-16SBR System Bridges to the system, 32 inputs from stage and 16 returns from FOH are transported up to 500ft/150m on a single Cat-5e cable.
Lossless splits to secondary output locations, such as a recording rig, can be added by simply connecting additional output modules as needed.
Inputs to a Pro16 digital snake or audio distribution system can come from a mic- or line-level analog source or an A-Net compatible console card. Choices for analog input include the AN-16/i (line-level) or AN-16/i-M (mic- and line-level); the Y1 card can be used with Yamaha® digital consoles. Cards for a host of leading console manufacturers are available; refer to the Partners section for complete details.
Simply connect your audio sources, power up the input module or host console card, and connect up to 500ft/150m of Cat-5e cable, and you're ready to select output modules, network devices, or mixers.
To transfer up to four Pro16™ A-Net® data streams using a single Cat-5e cable, the AN-16SBR System Bridge can be added. The AN-16SBR features heavy duty EtherCon® connectors on all ports and is sold in pairs.
The AN-16SBR has four ports labeled A, B, C, and D that are used to connect individual 16-channel A-Net streams. The 5th port, labeled Bridge, carries the combined four-stream/64-channel signal.
Each named port on the AN-16SBR has a direct relationship to the same-named port of the opposite half of the System Bridge. For example, whatever A-Net stream is connected to port A at on the input side of the bridge will appear at the matching port on the output side (A to A, B to B, etc.)
The direction of each 16-channel stream is independent, so reversing the direction of a given stream is as simple as switching an input module and an output module. Using the AN-16SBR in this manner supports bidirectional configurations up to 32x32, 48x16, and 64x0 on a single cable.
The AN-16SBR System Bridge is not compatible with Pro64 products and cannot be used with Pro16 A-Net streams that include DC power from an A-Net Distributor.
