Making a Mix
Set the global tone controls—B
aSS
and t
ReBle
—to about 12 o’clock. This is the
default EQ setting; no boost or cut is applied to the audio mix.
Set the m
aSteR
volume knob on the A‑16R Personal Mixer to a low setting,
about 9 or 10 o’clock should be safe. Send audio into the system; this could
be a band playing live or audio from a multi‑track audio device. Raise the
levels Personal Mixer to a comfortable level after you have audio playing
through the system.
Mixing involves setting pan, volume, and mute status for each channel, and
then saving this setup as a Preset so that you can recall your custom mix
later.
The user interface is quite simple to understand. As with many digital mixers,
the Personal Mixer has many channels, but only one set of controls that
are shared by all the channels. A channel is selected by pressing one of the
numbered channel buttons on the Personal Mixer’s front surface. When a
channel is selected, the red LED in the channel’s button will light to indicate
that it has been selected and is ready to be edited.
The procedure to edit a channel involves only two steps:
Select the channel you want to change. •
Edit the volume, panning, or mute status. •
That’s it. Each channel of the mixer can be edited by following the same
simple steps.
Setting Channel Volume
When you change the volume of a channel on the A‑16R (or A‑16CS), the LEDs
in the Volume section of the mixer will indicate the level in real time. When a
new channel is selected, its current volume is instantly indicated on the LEDs.
When no LEDs are lit, channel volume is at its minimum setting.
To make changes to a channel:
Select a channel by pressing its numbered button—the •
button’s upper LED will light.
Rotate the
• V
olume
knob to the right to increase the volume,
to the left to lower the 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.
