I own a setup of CS18AI and an RM32AI (equipped with AVB Card) now I want to include 6pcs. of Earmix 16 to my setup for InEar Monitoring. Can I just connect the Earmixes to my existing AVB network ? What Firmware do I need to install into CS and RM ? Thanks for your kind help! Romano

The Ai Family uses a different AVB protocol than the Series III, they cannot directly communicate with one another. You would have to physically come out of the RM aux outs and then into a series III mixer. They detail it in the earmix manual, section 2.2.
