Welcome This User Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your new Pro64™ product. In developing the Aviom Pro64 Series product line, we have made every effort to make the user interface as easy to use and understand as possible. We encourage you to read the manual completely, as some of the powerful features of your new product may not be immediately apparent. This document is a combined User Guide for the MH10 and MH10f Merger Hubs, which have many featur

The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR plug, the kind commonly used on microphone cables. Insert an EtherCon-equipped cable into the jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal release tab at the top of the panel-mounted EtherCon jack and pull the connector outward. The SFP Module The MH10f Merger Hub ships with two 100 Mbps SFP format fiber optic ports (9 and 10) which allow the user to connect optional single-mode or multi-mode fiber op

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 manipulate and therefore easier to work with in a performance situat

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. 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 44.1kHz± to 192kHz±, with ultra-low latency, jitter

Clocking The Pro64 network offers the most flexible clocking and synchronization options in the industry. Pro64 devices support three ranges of variable sample 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,

Mode network, two 64-channel streams are available on the cable and in each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact on the makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can direct A-Net data from an input module to a specific port (A, B, or both). Output modules can be configured to output audio signals from a specific port (A or B). Support For Pro16 Series Products Pro64 Series products can be combined with Pro16™ Series output products

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

Ventilation Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other rack-mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amplifiers. Cleaning Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the unit from the AC power source. To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint-free cloth that has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a
