  • Page 2 General Strategy Front and Center Since the M-16DX mixer’s so small, it’s easy to position it in a central audience location so you can hear what the rest of the audience hears through the house system. This also allows you to use the M-16DX’s RAC (Room Acoustic Control) feature to tune the room during setup, which can help you keep feedback issues to a minimum during the performance.
  • Page 3 Typically, you’ll want to send audio from the M-16DX to your front-of-house speaker system by connecting the M-16DX’s MAIN OUT L and R jacks to inputs on your PA’s power amp. If you want to mix in mono, use only the M-16DX’s L MAIN OUT jack.
  • Page 4: Creating A Monitor Mix

    Performer Hookup Example To give you an idea of how you can use the M-16DX’s inputs, let’s talk about how you’d hook up a small group with two singing acoustic guitarists with pickups on their guitars, a keyboard player, a bass player, and a beatbox rhythm backing.
  • Page 5 Creating a Monitor Mix with Aux Bus 1 Sending the Aux 1 Signal to the Stage The Aux 1 bus is a mono bus. Connect the M-16DX’s rear-panel AUX SEND 1 output jack to the input of the power amp you’re using for onstage monitor speakers, or to the amp you’re using for in-ear or headphone monitors.
  • Page 6 You can send the Alt bus to a monitor power amp or in-ear/headphone amp directly from the M-16DX rear-panel ALT OUT L and R jacks if you like. A better option for live mixing—where you don’t need a separate control- room feed as you would in a studio context—is to use the CONTROL ROOM...
  • Page 7 If you’ve got a digital metronome with a line out jack, connect it to an unused input jack on the M-16DX to create a click-track your rhythm- keeper can follow in performance.
  • Page 8 M-16DX’s stereo capabilities and effects. Stereo can make the performers’ sounds that much bigger and clearer. To connect the M-16DX to the power amp of a stereo sound system, use the MAIN OUT L and R jacks on the back of the I/O module.
