Linking Channels
For stereo input sources such as keyboards, drum machines, CD players, main mixer
submixes, etc., the A-16T provides a convenient method of controlling these two-
channel sources. It’s called a Link. A Link is simply two Channels working together
as one to process a stereo input.
Linking two Channels is done from the front panel of the A-16T Transmitter. Each
pair of inputs has a corresponding Link switch. When the switch is positioned to the
left, the two Channels are independent. When the switch is moved to the right, the
Channels become linked. Only adjacent Channels can be linked (Channels 1 and 2,
Channels 3 and 4, etc.).
When Channels are linked, they act as one source on the A-16 Personal Mixer. When
you select either of the two linked Channels on the Mixer, both LEDs will light up,
indicating that they are linked. Volume changes affect both Channels simultaneously.
Channels that are linked at the A-16T Transmitter will appear linked on every
Personal Mixer connected to the system. You can link or un-link Channels as needed,
even while audio is running through the system. All connected Personal Mixers
update immediately.
The Spread Control
When two Channels are linked, they no longer have separate pan controls. With
the Channel link comes a new feature, called Spread. The Spread control varies the
stereo image of the two linked Channels from full stereo to mono. This allows you to
position stereo sources in your mix by controlling the width of the stereo image.
Spread changes the panning of the left and right Channels simultaneously. Instead of
having two Channels panned 100% left and right, Spread allows the Channels to be
panned to 60% left and right, for example.
