Setting up the AW16G

Before you begin recording it is necessary to connect the AW16G with the equipment that it is to be used with.

Step 1: Connect the Monitoring System

If powered monitors are to be used with the AW16G, connect the Monitor Outs of the AW16G to the inputs of the monitors using unbalanced instrument cable. The monitor outputs of the AW16G are unbalanced 1/ 4-inch jacks so it is not necessary to use balanced cable. Do not use speaker cable to connect the AW16G to powered monitors.

With Powered Monitors

If unpowered monitors are to be used with the AW16G, first connect the Monitor Outs of the AW16G to the inputs of the power amp using unbalanced instrument cable. Next, connect the speaker outputs of the power amp to the inputs of the unpowered monitors using speaker cable. For best results 10-16 gauge speaker cable should be used to connect the power amp to the monitors. The lower the gauge of speaker cable, the better the sound quality will be. For shorter distances (less than 10-20 ft.), this will be less noticeable but it is still important to use lower gauge quality speaker cables. Do not use speaker cable to connect the AW16G to the power amp.
