each input channel from the A-16 Personal Mixers. To link channels together as a
stereo input, move the Link switch to the right. (Moving the switch to the Link posi-
tion causes all Personal Mixers, including the A-16CS Control Surface, connected to
the system to instantly update their channel status.)
Some things to keep in mind about linked channels:
• Linking channels affects
all
A-16 Personal Mixers connected to the
system.
• Any combination of stereo and mono channels can be used.
• If you want to control two input channels as a stereo source, they must
be connected to an odd and even pair of channels, as indicated by the
graphics on the A-16T front panel.
• Changes to the Stereo Link status can be made on the fly, with audio
running through the system.
• All A-16 Personal Mixers will instantly update their channel status if
the Link switch position is changed for any channel pair.
• The Link status is not saved when you create a Preset.
• Changing the channel link status will affect Groups you have created
in some cases.
Power and A-Net
The right side of the A-16T Transmitter also contains the Power LED. This indicator
shows that power is connected to the unit. It does
not
indicate, however, that a valid
A-Net signal is being generated.
The A-Net output jack is used to connect the A-16T to the first A-Net compatible
device in your monitor system. Use any standard Category 5 cable to make the con-
nections. Remember that the maximum cable length is 500 feet (150 meters).
When a proper A-Net connection between the A-16T Transmitter and a Personal
Mixer exists, the
A-Net Active
LED on the Personal Mixer will light.
Connection Options
In a simple system, the easiest connection method uses what is called a
daisy-chain
.
That is, each device is connected in series. The first mixer device in the chain
receives the A-Net signal from the A-16T Transmitter. Each successive Personal
Mixer gets its A-Net connection from the A-Net Out jack of the Mixer preceding it in
the chain.
