A-Net Connections When creating a Pro16 A-Net system, the simplest connection method uses what is called a daisy chain. That is, each A-Net device is connected in series. The first device in the chain receives its A-Net signal from the AV-M8 Mic Input Module’s A-Net Out port. Each successive A-Net compatible device gets its A-Net connection from the A-Net Out port of the device preceding it in the daisy chain. There is one drawback to this connection method, however. If one A-Net device i
