Aviom A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System
48
If you are using direct outputs from channels to send instrument and mic signals into
the A-16T, you need to dedicate two channels to the mics that are picking up the ambi-
ent sound. It is not necessary that the live mics be sent into the front of house mix.
Silent Jam Session
There is no requirement that a mixer be used with the Personal Monitor Mixing Sys-
tem. In fact it makes a great late-night jam session environment for keyboard players,
guitarists, and electronic drummers, etc.
To set up a silent headphone system for jamming:
• Connect the outputs from stereo keyboards to inputs on the A-16T.
• If the keyboard player uses a sub-mixer, you can optionally connect the
stereo output of the keyboard mixer to two inputs on the Transmitter.
• Patch the output of a guitar amp simulator into a pair of inputs.
• Connect an electronic drum kit’s outputs into the A-16T.
• Set the Link switches on the A-16T for any stereo Channel pairs.
Other Uses for the Personal Mixer Outputs
The stereo audio outputs on the A-16 Personal Mixer can be used with stereo head-
phones, in-ear monitors, or powered speakers. But, since the outputs are at line level,
they are capable of sending the current monitor mix to any audio device capable of
using a line level audio signal.
Record a Mix
The output of your Personal Mixer can be used for recording. To connect the stereo
TRS line output to some devices you may need to use an adapter to split the signal into
two separate mono outputs—one for the left side, the other for the right. To record the
output of a Personal Mixer:
• Create a mix. Use panning, mutes, Groups etc. as required.
• Save the Preset to a memory location.
• Connect the line outputs of the Personal Mixer to the inputs of the
recorder. (You may need a special cable to split the stereo signal into dual
mono signals.)
• Play back the mix you created.
• Set an appropriate audio level for recording on the device. Use the Master
volume control to set a level that does not distort the inputs of the recorder.
Using this technique you can quickly create a variety of recorded tracks for rehearsals,
etc. by recording the different Preset mixes saved on your Personal Mixer.
