Overview

System Bridge

The SB4 System Bridge can be used to combine up to four Pro16® or Pro16e™ A-Net® streams onto a single Cat-5 cable. The rear panel of the SB4 has four A-Net input or output jacks; the front panel features a single A-Net Bridge output. All connections utilize heavy duty locking Neutrik® EtherCon® Cat-5 jacks.

Used in conjunction with the D800 A-Net Distributor, the SB4 System Bridge combines up to four synchronous Pro16 A-Net streams for use with A360 Personal Mixers. Designed for use with Pro16 A-Net cards for digital consoles, the SB4 System Bridge brings the number of input sources available to A360 personal mixing systems from the digital domain to 64.

The SB4 may also be used in pairs to simplify cabling in Pro16 digital snake systems. Up to four Pro16 input or output devices are connected to an SB4 at the stage and FOH locations, and the main Cat-5 cable run between the stage and FOH mix position is reduced to a single Cat-5 cable. Used in this manner, the SB4 supports configurations up to 64x0, 48x16, or 32x32.
