Automatic Mono/Stereo Plug Detection - Aviom A-16II User Manual

Phones/Lines Out
The headphone/line output of the A-16II has a TRS stereo output.
Stereo
The TRS outputs on the Personal Mixer are stereo. Any pair of stereo
headphones or earphones can simply be plugged into the jack.
To connect a set of stereo speakers (studio monitors or stage speakers), use a
stereo to dual‑mono adapter to split the stereo signal into separate left and
right mono signals. Then connect a standard mono cable to the audio input
of the left and the right amplifier for the speakers.
Mono
To use a mono amplifier, powered speaker, etc., connect a standard
unbalanced TS audio interconnect cable (tip and sleeve "guitar cord" type)
from the audio output on the Personal Mixer to the audio input on your
mono device.
To connect to a mono input on a device that has an XLR input connection,
you need to use a cable that has a tip‑sleeve unbalanced ¼" jack on one end
and an XLR on the other.
P N : Using a tip‑ring‑sleeve ¼" jack to XLR cable will cause the left and
ote
right channels to be summed, resulting in a loss of level.

Automatic Mono/Stereo Plug Detection

When a cable is plugged into the Line/Headphone output jack on the rear of
the A‑16II, the auto‑detect circuit determines whether the device is mono or
stereo.
If a mono device is recognized, the A‑16II automatically pans all channels to
the left output and adjusts the balance accordingly. This is done to avoid
a situation where a mix has channels panned hard right that would not be
heard if only the left audio channel was being monitored.
This test happens only once when the plug is initially inserted. Avoid using a
Y‑cord splitter to achieve mono. Note that saved mixes are not permanently
altered. The panning changes are made seamlessly in software.
