The knob for each channel controls the level of the input routed to the
output and the knob also illuminates either green, amber or red to show
input level. Pressing the knob ‘Solos’ the channel input to the output.
The front panel has 3 outputs: individually driven stereo headphones on
6.35mm (¼”) jack and 3.5mm jack sockets, each with their own individual
attenuation settings, and a mono-mix speaker output. There are discrete
volume controls for the headphones and the speaker, and the latter also
has a mute button.
The rear panel has an additional 3 line level XLR-3 audio outputs, which can
be designated as mono mix or left or right channel outputs of the mixed
audio content (similar to the speaker and headphone outputs respectively),
or any of the physical inputs or AoIP input sources.
The unit also sends to the network, as AoIP AES67 streams, the 8 channels
of the 4 physical stereo inputs, together with a stereo mix of the speaker
output.

Overview
The Sonifex AVN-PXH12 is a monitor-mixer primarily designed for monitoring
Audio Over IP audio channels in a compact 1U format rack. Any AES67 audio
channels on your network can be assigned to input channels on the unit and
mixed down to analogue outputs, two headphone outputs and a built-in
speaker.
It is a stereo monitoring device that allows you to monitor up to 12 audio
sources, from an input total of 24, at any one time. The 24 audio sources
can be selected from 4 discrete stereo analogue audio inputs (1 x front
panel 3.5mm jack socket, 2 x rear panel 3.5mm jack sockets and 1 x rear
panel stereo XLR input pair) or from any RAVENNA, AES67 or AES67-enabled
Dante® AoIP connected streams.
These stereo signals are routed to the 12 x control channels on the front
panel, each of which have a ‘Normal’ and an ‘Alternate’ input selection. Each
channel has three buttons: one for input selection, another to Mute the
channel and the third to select whether the channel input is routed to the
left, right or stereo output legs.
