Aviom A-16II Personal Mixer User Guide
Applications
This section describes how to set up and use the Personal Monitor Mixing
System in a variety of contexts.
Create a Mix With Console Direct
Outputs
The direct output of a live or recording console allows you to take an exact
copy of an input channel's audio and patch it into the Input module for
processing. A typical console's direct output point is right after the input,
meaning that changes made on the console as far as effects, EQ, etc., do not
affect the sound of the direct output.
Aviom input modules can accept up to sixteen direct outputs. You can use
balanced or unbalanced cables to connect audio, depending on the configu-
ration of your mixer.
The most likely scenario involves using a multi-cable snake to connect the
main mixing board's direct outs to the Input Module. It's not a requirement,
but rather a convenient method of keeping cable mess to a minimum.
Follow these steps to create a monitor mix with direct outputs:
• Connect a balanced or unbalanced cable from the direct
output jack on the main mixer to the first input on the input
module rear panel.
• Repeat this procedure for the other console channels you
want to add to the monitor mix.
• Select an appropriate Input Level setting on the input
module front panel.
• Label the Personal Mixer with Channel names.
• Begin playing audio into the Personal Monitor Mixing
System. Select a Channel and set the volume and panning
for each.
• Save the mix as a Preset.
At this point you can use the mix as is, or fine tune it by adding Groups,
linking Channels, etc.
Using Aux Sends to Create a Monitor
Mix
An Aux Send (sometimes referred to as an Effects Send) can be used alone
or in combination with other audio sources to create a monitor mix.
