The Aviom DS16 Digital Snake System is like your basic package. This is a great system to use if you’re working with a small group of musicians. The DS16 comes with one AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module, one AN-16/i v.2 Input Module and two AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules, which all give you a total of 16 mic/line inputs and 16 line-level returns that fits into 6U of rack space.
The AN-16/i-M can be set up on the side of the stage. This takes up to 16 mic/line inputs. The signals are routed to the mixing console through the AN-16/o v.4 that should be positioned at the FOH (front of house). All of the returns are then handled by the two AN-16/i v.2s, with one placed at the FOH and the second set up onstage. These 32 channels are transmitted over a single Cat-5e cable.

The Aviom DS32 Digital Snake System is the perfect system to use if you’re working with a medium-sized group. It gives you 32 mic/line inputs and 16 line-level returns. The DS32 comes with two AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module, one AN-16/i v.2 Input Module, three AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules and two SB4 System Bridges.
All audio data traverses over one Cat-5e cable (up to 500ft/150m) between the stage and FOH (front of house) thanks to the included SB4 System Bridge. I/O devices connect to the SB4 at each end of the digital snake, where a Cat-5e cable can then be used to run from FOH to the stage. All returns are handled by an AN-16/i v.2 Input Module at the FOH and an AN-16/o v.4 Output Module on stage.

The Aviom DS48 Digital Snake System is great for large groups like choirs and orchestras. It has 48 mic/line inputs and 16 line-level returns. The DS48 comes with three AN-16/i-M Mic Input Modules, one AN-16/i v.2 Input Module, four AN-16/o v.4 Output Modules and two SB4 System Bridges.

Each input channel on the Aviom AN-16/i-M has a three-segment level meter, a continuously variable gain knob, a phase reverse switch, 48V phantom power and a rumble filter featuring an 85Hz rolloff. The built-in Thru connections act as a digital splitter, which allows the mic input signals to be patched through to other devices. The 16 balanced outputs on the Aviom AN-16/o v.4 is possible thanks to DB25 multipin connectors. All of the analog outputs can be set per channel pair to +24dBu, +18dBu, +4dBu or mic level.

All of these systems can be expanded further through the connection of additional I/O modules.
