Aviom A-16II manual Labeling the Channels, Powering Up

Page 21

Before powering up the system, turn the Master volume control on the Personal Mixer to its minimum setting (full left) to ensure that unwanted high-volume audio is not accidentally sent into your monitors when the system is powered up. The Master volume control is the one in the upper right section of the Personal Mixer, next to the Bass and Treble controls.

Labeling the Channels

The A-16II Personal Mixer has a convenient label strip right on the front panel. Use a china marker (sometimes called a “grease pencil”) to write the name of the instrument or audio source appearing on each Channel’s in the label area.

Use only non-permanent marking devices on the label surface to avoid permanently marring the surface.

Powering Up

As when powering up any audio gear, it’s best to power up all system components in the safest possible order to minimize the risk of damage to system components and your hearing. Start by turning on devices such as mic preamps, mixers, keyboards, and effects processors. Follow this by turning on power amps, or anything that applies power to speakers, headphones, etc..

In the case of the Personal Monitor Mixing System, you should power up your main audio mixer, effects devices, and keyboards first. Follow this by powering up your A-Net input module and then all connected A-16II Personal Mixers.

Lastly, turn on any power amps, powered monitor speakers, in-ear moni- tors, etc. that are part of the monitor system.
