7.2.1 Monitoring Theory
Low latency monitoring can be enabled using the
AES16’s on-board digital mixer. This method
avoids delays caused be monitoring through
application software. The digital mixer can be
setup manually using the Lynx Mixer application
or within applications that support direct
monitoring. As discussed in Section 5.1.5 Digital Mixer
Outputs, each output of the AES16 is derived
from a four-input submixer. This submixer is
shown below. The inputs to the submixers
include both input signals and playback signals.
Enabling record monitoring is simply a matter of
selecting a desired input signal for mixing on a
particular output.

7.2.2 Monitor Setup Using Lynx Mixer
The Outputs window of the Lynx Mixer provides access to the submixer connected to each physical output. Controls
on this window allow manual setup of monitoring.
The four Monitor Select blocks shown in the submixer diagram correspond to the four Output Monitor Source
buttons above the faders on each output channel of the Lynx Mixer. A mouse click on one of these buttons launches
a menu of Record and Playback sources. Selecting a Record source causes in input signal to be routed to the output.
Horizontal faders below these buttons correspond to the submixer input volume controls, , shown in the
diagram above.
In this example, Digital In 1 is being selected as a monitor source for Output 1
Left. The “M” button next to the Output Monitor Source button must be in the
“out” position to unmute a monitor source. After the source is selected, a
corresponding four-letter pneumonic will appear on the button.
