Connecting Audio
The are many ways to get audio into the A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System
for processing. Depending on your application—studio, stage, etc.—the types of
signals and equipment available will vary. This section will give examples of some
typical setups that you can modify to suit your individual needs.
Connections on the A-16T Rear Panel
There are two rows of TRS connectors on the rear of the A-16T Transmitter. They
are marked
In
and
Thru
, but are much more flexible than the simple labels may
lead you to believe.
The connections on the A-16T can accept balanced or unbalanced 1⁄4-inch cables.
The system can accept a wide variety of signal levels; gain settings are changed on
the front panel of the A-16T.
The audio design of the A-16T allows you to add the system at virtually any point
in your existing audio system. The A-16T Transmitter can accept audio coming
from:
• Mixing board direct outputs
• Mixing board insert sends only
• Mixing board insert send and return loops
• Line output from mic preamps
• Line outputs from keyboards and other music devices
• CD players
• Tape decks
• Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs)
• Effects processors
• Video decks, cameras, etc.
Audio signals sent into the A-16T Transmitter can be at any level, from semi-pro-
fessional and home recording gear, studio devices, and broadcast equipment.
Connecting a Mixer
As mentioned above, almost any line level audio output can be used with the
A-16T. Depending on the topology of your particular mixer, some or all of the
following signal types could be available.
Direct Output
A direct output is typically found at the channel level. That is, each channel on the
mixer has its own direct output jack. This type of output sends an exact copy of
the audio signal present in each channel out of the mixer without interrupting the
signal being sent to the main part of the mixer. This layout is ideal for use with the
A-16.
