control over their monitor mix environment.
It is important to note that the A-16R front panel has a switch that selects whether the front panel buttons and knobs or the A-16CS Control Surface will be used for editing. The Remote/Local switch must be in the LOCAL position to use the front panel controls or to send/receive MIDI SysEx data. The Remote/Local switch should be in the REMOTE position when the A-16CS is being used.
Master Volume Control
When using an A-16CS Control Surface with an A-16R it is also important to note that the position of the Master Volume knob on the A-16R rack sets the total volume output for the unit. The Control Surface simply offsets that master volume setting, allowing for precise system gain setup.
Switching from remote to local control with the REMOTE/LOCAL switch may cause an increase in the overall volume, since this removes the A-16CS Control Surface from the signal path.
