Follow these steps:
• Press the desired Channel button — its upper red LED will
light.
• Turn the V
OLUME
knob clockwise to raise the volume of
the selected Channel until you hear it in the monitors. You
should see the volume changes you’re making reflected in
the Volume LED indicators. More LEDs lit indicates higher
volume.
There are twenty-four visible volume steps available in the Volume LEDs.
Each LED lights at two levels—one at half brightness, the other at full
brightness.
The procedure for setting the pan position for a Channel is similar. Once
a Channel is selected, you can turn the P
AN
knob left or right to move
the Channel in the stereo field. Your changes will be reflected in the Pan
LEDs. Changes will be heard immediately in any speakers or headphones
connected to your Personal Mixer.
Note: If you have connected the output of the Personal Mixer to a mono
audio system or speaker, pan position is irrelevant.
A Channel is playing in the center of the stereo field when only the center
(green) LED is lit. As you turn the P
AN
knob, the Pan LEDs will light in
various combinations to indicate the pan position.
Continue this process of setting volume and pan until all the Channels have
been added to the mix.
At this point you should have a basic mix playing in your monitors. You can
continue to make changes in real time as your needs require. Remember
that changes to Channel volume and pan setting affect the selected Channel
only. The selected Channel always has its red LED lit.
Linking Channels
For stereo input sources such as keyboards, drum machines, CD players,
main mixer submixes, etc., the Aviom input modules provide a convenient
method of controlling these two-channel sources. It’s called a Link. A Link
is simply two Channels working together as one to process a stereo input.
Linking two Channels is done from the front panel of the input module.
Each pair of inputs has a corresponding Link switch. When the switch is
positioned to the left, the two Channels are independent. When the switch
is moved to the right, the Channels become linked. Only adjacent Channels
can be linked (Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4, etc.).
