input module first and then use the Thru jack on the input

module to complete the signal chain.

In either case the performers can now decide how much of the effects return

is required in their personal mix. And, they can save up to sixteen mixes with

various amounts of effects in each.

Adding Live Ambience to a Monitor Mix

For performers using in‑ear monitors in a live performance situation, it may

be desirable to add some room ambience into the monitor system to help add

a sense of space. This technique can be used with most live mixing consoles.

All you need is a way to send the signal from one or more room mics into the

Pro16 input module. A pair of mics on either side of a stage provides a stereo

ambience signal that can be added as needed to a performer’s mix.

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
