Aviom A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System
16 17
There are eight Link switches on the front panel of the A-16T. They can be used in
any combination, as your needs require. The Link switch is located between two
channels—one odd and one even. Links always affect adjacent channels (for example,
channels 1 and 2, channels 13 and 14, etc.).
The default setting, with the Link switch to the left, allows independent control of each
input channel from the A-16 Personal Mixers. To link channels together as a stereo in-
put, move the Link switch to the right. (Moving the switch to the Link position causes
all Personal Mixers connected to the system to instantly update their channel status.)
Some things to keep in mind about linked channels:
• Linking channels affects all A-16 Personal Mixers connected to the
system.
• Any combination of stereo and mono channels can be used.
• If you want to control two input channels as a stereo source, they must
be connected to an odd and even pair of channels, as indicated by the
graphics on the A-16T front panel.
• Changes to the Link status can be made on the fly, with audio running
through the system.
• All A-16 Personal Mixers will instantly update their channel status if the
Link switch position is changed for any channel pair.
• The Link status is not saved when you create a Preset.
• Changing the channel link status will affect Groups you have created in
some cases.
Power and A-Net
The right side of the A-16T Transmitter also contains the Power LED. This indicator
shows that power is connected to the unit. It does not indicate, however, that a valid
A-Net signal is being generated.
The A-Net output jack is used to connect the A-16T to the first A-Net compatible
device in your monitor system. Use any standard Category 5 cable to make the connec-
tions. Remember that the maximum cable length is 500 feet (150 meters).
When a proper A-Net connection between the A-16T Transmitter and a Personal Mixer
exists, the A-Net Active LED on the Personal Mixer will light.
