This section explains the basic layout of your new Aviom products. The diagrams
on the previous pages can be used as a quick visual guide to the location of the basic
components of the Personal Monitor Mixing System.

that there is an audio signal present, and another used to indicate that the input to a
channel is causing audio clipping. Signal and Clip LEDs appear directly beneath the
Channel numbers.

is present on the channel. It provides an easy way to confirm that audio is indeed

. It will light if a signal reaches a point that is within

range of professional and semi-professional audio levels. There are four Input Level
