The A-16CS Front Panel
Global Controls
The three knobs in the upper right section of the A-16CS Control Surface affect your
mix volume and tone directly. The Bass, Treble, and Master volume controls are
always active, regardless of the selected Preset.
Tone Controls
Use the Bass and Treble controls to change the overall balance of bass or treble
frequencies in your mix. These controls affect the entire mix, not the individual
Channels.
The default position for the
B
ASS
and
T
REBLE
knobs is at 12 o’clock. To add more
low frequencies to your monitor mix, turn the
B
ASS
knob to the right of the 12
o’clock position. To remove lows, turn the knob counterclockwise past the center. To
change the high-frequency content, follow the same procedure; turn the
T
REBLE
knob
right to add highs, left to diminish them.
The Bass and Treble knobs on the A-16CS send control data to the host A-16R rack.
Master Volume
The overall system volume is controlled by the
M
ASTER
volume control. Turn it
counterclockwise for a full off setting. As a general suggestion, start with the Master
volume knob at a low setting, about 9 or 10 o’clock. Raise the volume slowly from
that point to a comfortable level.
Note
: Always use caution when adjusting any audio system component
to avoid potential hearing damage.

is yellow; it indicates that the Channel is muted. Channel buttons will
