Welcome Thank you for purchasing the 6416m Mic Input Module, RCI Remote Control Interface, and MCS Mic Control Surface. All Pro64 products are powered by A‑ Net®, Aviom’s proprietary data transmission protocol designed especially for the unique demands of live streaming audio. In developing the Pro64 Series, we have made every effort to make the user interface as easy to use and understand as possible. This User Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your n

AC Power Always plug the unit into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Always use the AC line cord that was shipped with the unit. Grasp the power cable by the connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting it from the power source. Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp environments. AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the

About A-Net Aviom’s A‑ Net® is the only networking technology conceived, designed, and optimized for managing and distributing audio using ordinary Cat‑ 5e cables (or fiber by adding the MH10f Merger Hub). As implemented in the Pro64® Series products, A‑ Net can transmit up to 128 channels of uncompressed 24‑ bit audio with the reliability and fidelity of analog, and the power and flexibility of a true digital network. Pro64 A‑ Net allows variable sample rates in three ranges, from 44.1k

rates, from 44.1/48kHz± to 192kHz±. Because no sample rate converters are used, audio transmission is kept fast and clean, eliminating the audio artifacts and signal degradation inherent to sample rate conversion—even when syncing to an external clock source. Any Pro64 I/O module can be designated the Clock Master for the network, generating and distributing its internal clock. Digital I/O modules are capable of syncing to and distributing an external clock from a Word Clock or AES3 sourc

Support For Pro16 Series Products Pro64 Series products can be combined with Pro16™ Series output products such as the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System by adding the Pro64 ASI A‑ Net Systems Interface. This 1U module converts Pro64 data to Pro16 data, providing up to four streams of 16‑ channel data (depending on the Pro64 sample rate) that can be used with A‑ 16II and A‑ 16R Personal Mixers, A‑ Net Distributors, and AN‑ 16/o Output Modules. The ASI is not compatible with the A‑ Net output of

Firmware Notice All Pro64 devices in a network should be updated to use the most recent firmware version to ensure trouble-free operation. As new Pro64 modules are released, older Pro64 products need to be updated so that they recognize the features and functions of the newer modules—something that is especially important if one of the older devices will be used as the network’s Control Master. (If for some reason you cannot update the firmware on older Pro64 devices before using them, set

Pro64 Interface Conventions Many Pro64 Series products have similar user interface components, including buttons, LEDs, and switches. When describing the features and functions of Pro64 Series products, the following conventions will be used. Cat-5e All Cat‑ 5e connections between A‑ Net devices should use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The cable can be of the stranded or solid type; solid wire performs better over long distances, while stranded wire is more flexible and easier to m
