Audio is distributed to the AV-P2 over standard Cat 5e cables, using Aviom's A-Net digital audio protocol. A-Net supports realtime distribution with sub-millisecond latency, and long cable runs up to 500ft/150m.
There is no limit to the number of devices that can be daisy chained, or to the number of parallel splits in a single system, says the company.
Power can be supplied to the AV-P2 with an external DC power supply or over the Cat 5e cable (with an A-Net Distributor). Additionally, Pro16 A-Net audio streams can be transmitted over single- or multi-mode fibre optics using certain standard third-party media converters.
The AV-P2 has reversible mounting flanges and can also be mounted on Aviom's MT-1 Mic Mount bracket. The AV-P2 is compatible with all Pro16 Series products.
