6416m Channel Strip Functions
The features of the 6416m mic preamp channels are described in detail in
this section. Most of these features can also be remote controlled by adding
the optional RCI Remote Control Interface and MCS Mic Control Surface.
All operations described below apply to the currently selected mic pre
channel.
Channel Activation Button
Each of the sixteen mic/line input channels on the 6416m can be made active
on the network individually using the lighted Active button found above the
channel number. Activating a channel assigns it to an A‑Net Slot, making it
part of the network and available to any output module or console interface
card in the Pro64 network.
Channel activation buttons
are found above the channel
number. Here, Channels 1,
3, and 4 have been made
active on the network. (Active
channel LEDs are shown in
black.)

FUNCTION

In Auto Mode, each A‑Net Slot is unique. The Control Master manages the
availability of A‑Net Slots and will grant or deny a channel activation request
from an input module based on the current makeup of the network, the
sample rate, and the Slots already in use.
To activate a 6416m input channel within a given A‑Net Slot range, press
its numbered a
CtivE
button. (Note that the word “Active” does not appear
on the front panel user interface.) If the Slot is available, the Control Master
will enable the Slot and the channel’s green LED will light. If the Slot is not
available, the LED will flash briefly, indicating that the requested Slot is in use
elsewhere in the network.
In Manual Mode, a channel can be activated at any time. Depending on how
the network is set up and configured, activating a channel can replace a
same‑numbered Slot that was added to the network elsewhere.
