A-Net Out from the A-16D or A-16D Pro is connected to each Personal Mixer’s A-Net In. Removing one Personal Mixer from the system has no effect on other Personal Mixers being used.

Mixing

The process of creating a monitor mix using Aviom’s Monitor Mixing System is similar to the process used to create a front-of-house mix. The Personal Mixer interface makes it easy to jump right in and create your first mix within minutes of connecting the system for the first time.

Mixing involves setting pan, volume, and mute status for each Channel, and then saving this setup as a mix Preset so that you can recall your mix later.

The user interface of the A-16R and optional A-16CS are quite simple to understand. As with many digital mixers, the A-16R Personal Mixer has many Channels, but only one set of controls that are shared by all the Channels. A Channel is selected by pressing one of the numbered Channel buttons on the Mixer’s front surface. When a Channel is selected, the red LED in the Channel’s button will light to indicate that it has been selected and is ready to be edited.

The procedure to edit a Channel involves only two steps:

•Select the Channel you want to change.

•Edit the volume, panning, or mute status

That’s it. Each Channel can be edited by using the same simple steps.

Note: Remember to save your new mix as a Preset to a memory location before turning the system off. Current unsaved edits to mix settings are not retained when the A-16R is powered off.
