The A-16II allows individual performers to create custom monitor mixes tailored to their individual needs. Designed for use in live performance or in the studio, the A-16II Personal Mixer gives each performer control over channel volume, grouping, pan, stereo spread, and master volume and tone. Every Personal Mixer in a system can create a unique monitor mix for a performer. Users can save and recall up to sixteen custom mixes as presets in their Personal Mixer.

The stereo output from the A-16II can be used to drive wired or wireless in-the-ear monitors, headphones, powered floor wedges, an amplifier, or spot monitors.

The A-16II Personal Mixer is fully compatible with all Pro16¢ç Series products, including Aviom's digital interface card for Yamaha¢ç digital mixing consoles. Support for Aviom monitor mixing is available in the form of console interface cards from an ever- increasing list of digital console manufacturers including Digidesign¢ç, Soundcraft¢ç, Innovason¢ç, etc. Look for the A-Net Active¢â logo, and see our Partners page for additional information.

Mixers can be daisy-chained or connected in parallel using an A-Net Distributor. Parallel connections also allow power to be supplied to the mixers over the Cat-5e cable. As with all Pro16 Series products, Cat-5e cable runs of up to 500 feet (150 meters) are possible between devices, and there is no limit to the number of mixers in a system.

- Getting Started - Monitor Mixing

STEP 1: AUDIO IN, A-NET OUT

The input module or console card takes audio from an existing source (typically an analog or digital mixing console) and outputs an A-Net digital audio stream over a single Cat-5e cable. Input modules are available in a variety of configurations and formats, including digital cards from a host of leading console manufacturers. Refer to the Partners section for complete details.

STEP 2: A-NET IN, A-NET OUT

A Personal Mixer can be connected directly to the input module or console card, with additional mixers connected in a daisy chain. However, most users connect an A-Net Distributor, such as the A-16D Pro, to simplify wiring with the speed and convenience of parallel A-Net connections to Personal Mixers. A-Net Distributors may also be used to power Personal Mixers over the Cat-5 cable. Any number of A-Net Distributors may be used in a system.

STEP 3: A-NET IN, AUDIO OUT

Finally, the Cat-5e is connected to a Personal Mixer, which outputs the mix made by the performer. Typically, each performer is given his or her own Personal Mixer. An Aviom monitor mixing system can be used with any combination of headphones, wired or wireless in-ear phones, and floor wedges.

The A-16II is shown in the diagram, but the A-16R can be substituted.

- Connecting Personal Mixer

Personal Mixers can be connected in any combination of serial (daisy chain) and parallel (star) connections. Every Personal Mixer has both an A-Net In and A-Net Out jack, and mixers can be daisy-chained without limit. Every Personal Mixer is truly plug-and-play: connect it and you're ready to go.

Most users, however, choose to use an A-Net Distributor, such as the A-16D Pro, and connect mixers in parallel. This offers several advantages. First, any time devices are daisy-chained, "downstream" devices depend on upstream devices for their data. If someone unplugs a mixer or knocks over a stand on stage, multiple users may be affected. Second, using a distributor delivers the added convenience of providing power for the mixer over the Cat-5 cable, eliminating the need for extension cords and external power supplies at the mixers. Thus, using parallel connections is both more secure and more convenient.

Distributors can be inserted into the A-Net stream at any point in the system, and there is no limit to the number of distributors in a system.

The diagrams show A-16II Personal Mixers, but any combination of Pro16 output devices can be used, including the A-16R and AV-P2.

 

- Connecting Headphones, Powered Speaker or IEMs
Aviom Personal Mixers can be used with headphones, in-ears, or wedges, depending on a performer's personal preference. Before you select a Personal Mixer, consider what you'll be using to listen to the mix.

HEADPHONES & WIRED EARS

Both the A-16II and the A-16R include 1/4" headphone jacks which may be used for either headphones (1) or wired earphones (2). Because of the stand-mountable form factor, most users choose the A-16II for use with headphones or wired in-ears.

WIRELESS EARS & WEDGES

The A-16II output may be used as a line out, connected to a wireless transmitter (3), amp, or powered speakers (4). To preserve stereo operation, it's important to use a Y-cord to split left and right channels.

However, most wireless in-ear and wedge users choose the A-16R, which has left/right balanced line-level outputs (XLR and TRS jacks). This allows the A-16R and all the audio connections to be kept in a single rack with the transmitters and amps, while the A-16CS Control Surface is used by the performer for controlling the A-16R remotely. With separate left and right outputs, the A-16R does not require a Y cable or splitter.

- Combining Pro16 and Pro64 with The ASI
The ASI A-Net Systems Interface can be used to connect select Pro16 Series devices to a Pro64 Series network, further enhancing the output options for a system or installation.

The ASI provides a link between Pro64 Series networking products and Pro16 Series output devices, such as the AV-P2 and AN-16/o Output Modules, and the A-16II and A- 16R Personal Mixers. The ASI features two Pro64 network ports and four Pro16 outputs, separated into 16-channel blocks and transmitted out the corresponding Pro16 ports.

The ASI is a plug-and-play module, requiring no configuration beyond selecting a Pro64 network port for Manual Mode systems. The number of available channels and Pro16 ports is determined by the sample rate of the Pro64 network (64 channels and four ports at 44.1/48kH¡¾, 32 channels and two ports at 96kHz¡¾, and 16 channels and one port at 192kHz¡¾). Stereo link settings from the Pro64 network are passed to the Pro16 outputs.
