Audio Connections — Inputs
The Aviom A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System is designed to work in a wide
variety of audio situations. For complete setup information, refer to the detailed
instructions later in this document.
For the purposes of this quick startup guide, a single audio setup example will be used.
Since many mixing boards provide direct channel outputs, we’ll use that output for
example purposes.
If you have a mixer without direct outputs, you can substitute audio coming from any
available output of your mixer. That includes the main outputs, bus outputs, aux sends,
or insert points.
Connect the direct outputs from your main mixing board channels to the A-16T
Transmitter’s inputs. For simplicity, connect the channels in an easy to remember
order. If the lead vocal is plugged into Channel 1 of your main mixing board, connect-
ing it to Input 1 on the A-16T makes it easy to check connections.
For illustration purposes, let’s assume that you have eight audio signals connected from
your main mixing board to the A-16T, and that they are plugged into Inputs 1 through 8
on the rear panel of the A-16T.
A-16T Front Panel Settings
For the basic setup example, set all the Input Level switches on the front panel of the
A-16T to the 0dB setting. Next, check that all Link switches are in the left position
(meaning that the channels are not linked). The examples will assume that you are
using mono audio signals.
Audio Connections — Outputs
Plug headphones, powered floor monitors, spot monitors, or in-ear monitors into the A-
16 Personal Mixer’s Phones/Line output jack on the rear panel of the Personal Mixer.
Before powering up the system, turn the Master volume control on the Personal Mixer
to its minimum setting (full left) to ensure that unwanted high-volume audio is not ac-
cidentally sent into your monitors when the system is powered up. The Master volume
control is the one in the upper right section of the Personal Mixer, next to the Bass and
Treble controls.
