If you are using direct outputs from channels to send instrument and mic signals into the input module,
you need to dedicate two channels to the mics that are picking up the ambient sound. It is not necessary
that these live mics be sent into the front of house mix.
Silent Session
There is no requirement that a mixing console be used with the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System, especially
when you have an analog input module. It makes a great self-contained rehearsal environment for
keyboard players, guitarists, and electronic drummers, etc.
To set up a silent monitoring system:
Connect the outputs from stereo keyboards to inputs on the Pro16 input module. •
If the keyboard player uses a sub-mixer, you can optionally connect the stereo output of •
the keyboard mixer to two inputs.
Patch the output of a guitar amp simulator into a pair of inputs.
•
Connect an electronic drum kit’s outputs into the input module. •
Set the stereo link switches on the input module for any stereo channel pairs. •
Other Uses for the Personal Mixer Outputs
The stereo audio outputs on the Personal Mixer can be used with stereo headphones, in-ear monitors, or
powered speakers. But, since the outputs are at line level, they are capable of sending the current monitor
mix to any audio device capable of using a line level audio signal.
Record a Mix
The output of your Personal Mixer can be used for recording. Use it to record a rehearsal or performance,
or to create rehearsal mix-minus recordings for substitute performers.
To connect the stereo TRS line output to some devices you may need to use an adapter to split the A-16II
stereo signal into two separate mono outputs—one for the left side, the other for the right. To record the
output of a Personal Mixer:
Create a mix on the A-16II. Use panning, mutes, Groups etc. as required. •
Save the Preset to a memory location. •
Connect the line outputs of the Personal Mixer to the inputs of the recorder (split the •
stereo signal into dual mono signals if required).
Choose an appropriate audio level for recording on the device by setting the Master
•
volume control on the A-16II to a level that does not distort the inputs of the recorder.
