Monitor System Setup
Configuring a monitor mixing system requires only a few steps. Start with all devices turned off. When all
power, network, and audio connections have been made, you can then power up all the components in
your system. Power up the personal mixers and any amplifiers or powered speakers last to avoid unwanted
pops or noises.
Power Connection
Connecting a Cat-5e cable from an A-Net distributor such as the A-16D Pro will supply DC power to run
the A-16II Personal Mixer unit. The Personal Mixer will be on as long as it is connected to an active A-Net
distributor.
DC power for the Personal Mixer can optionally be supplied by using the optional PS-120 Power Supply at
the mixer’s location.
System Connections - Parallel
A typical personal mixing system consists of an input device (analog or console card) connected to an
A-Net distributor, which then has up to eight Personal Mixers connected to its
A-N
et
O
ut
ports. Personal
Mixers are powered over the Cat-5e cable when connected to an A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor; no DC power
supplies are required. Simply connect a Cat-5e cable from
A-N

on the A-16D Pro to
A-N

on the
Personal Mixer.
System Connections - Daisy Chain
Connecting Personal Mixers in series, also known as a daisy chain, allows them to be connected without an
A-Net distributor. DC power supplies are required for each. Connect a Cat-5e cable from the a-N

jack on the next Personal Mixer. (Repeat this process for each additional Personal
Mixer unit in your system.)
