A-16CS Control Surface

Overview

The A-16CS Control Surface is an optional accessory than can be used with the A-16R Personal Mixer. The button layout of the A-16CS is the same as found on the original Aviom Personal Mixers, the A-16 and A-16II.

The main differences between the A-16 Personal Mixer and the A-16CS Control Surface are on the rear panel. The A-16CS has no audio outputs. Also missing are the A-Net In and Out connections. Instead, the A-16CS rear panel contains the A-Control connection for communication with the host A-16R and a footswitch jack.

The functions of the front panel buttons and knobs are the same as on the A-16R and original A-16 Personal Mixers. For example, to recall a User Preset mix, you will still press the RECALL button, and then select one of the numbered buttons to select a saved mix.

The following descriptions detail the functions of the modes and functions of the A-16CS.

Note: Remember that the A-16R front-panel REMOTE/LOCAL switch must be in the Remote position in order for button presses and knob motions on the A-16CS to be recognized by the host.

Global Controls

The three knobs in the upper right section of the A-16CS Control Surface affect your overall mix volume and tone directly. The Bass, Treble, and Master volume controls are always active, regardless of the selected Preset.

Tone Controls

Use the Bass and Treble EQ controls to change the overall balance of bass or treble frequencies in your mix. These controls affect the entire mix, not the individual Channels.
