Setting Pan

The Pan indicator is made up of five LEDs. The center LED is green. The LEDs

on either side of center are red. As you turn the p

aN

knob, the LEDs will light

in various combinations. At either end of the display only one LED will be lit

to indicate that the channel is panned full left or right.

When using stereo linked channels, the LEDs light in different patterns, using

a pair of LEDs on either side of the display to indicate the width of the stereo

field. When the stereo image has been collapsed to mono, only the center

green LED will be lit. In this case the stereo input will be heard as mono.

: If you have connected the output of the Personal Mixer to a mono

audio system or speaker, the pan position is irrelevant.

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 headphones, IEM,

speakers, etc. 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, CD players, submixes, etc., Pro16

input modules provide a convenient method of controlling these two‑

channel sources. It’s called a Stereo Link.

Linking two channels is done from 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.).

When channels are linked, they act as one source on the Personal Mixer and

A‑16CS Control Surface. When you select either of the two linked channels

on the Personal Mixer, both channel LEDs will light, indicating that they

are linked at the input module. Volume changes affect both channels

simultaneously.

Channels that are linked at the input module will appear linked on every

Personal Mixer connected to the system. You can link or un‑link channels

as needed, even while audio is running through the system. All connected

Personal Mixers update immediately.
