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.
