Applications; Console Direct Outputs - Aviom A-16II User Manual

Applications

This section describes how to set up and use the Pro16 Monitor Mixing
System in a variety of contexts. Pro16 mic‑ or line‑level input modules such as
the AN‑16/i and AN‑16/i‑M can be used as well as console cards from Aviom
and third‑party manufacturers.
Most of the applications described below apply equally to analog and digital
consoles. However, this document cannot cover third‑party digital console
cards and the configuration of the consoles that can accept them. Refer to
the user documentation for the digital console for information about using
and assigning direct outputs, aux sends, etc., to a Pro16 A‑Net console card
used as the input module for a monitor mixing system.

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 Pro16 input module. A
typical console's direct output point is right after the input (pre‑fader, pre‑
EQ), 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 output signals as
sources. You can use balanced or unbalanced cables to connect audio,
depending on the configuration of your mixer.
Follow these steps to create a monitor system with direct outputs:
• Connect a balanced or unbalanced cable from the direct
output jack on the mixing console to the first input on the
Pro16 input module.
• 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 (analog input modules only).
• Send audio into the Pro16 Monitor Mixing System.
• Select a channel on the Personal Mixer and set the volume
and panning.
• 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.
