Aviom A-16 Personal Monitor Mixing System

Here’s how to set it up:
• Set aside the first fourteen Channels of the A-16T for audio tracks to
be sent to the performers as a cue mix.
• The remaining two Channels are reserved for the stereo mix that the
engineer creates in the studio.
• Connect cables from the console for monitoring the fourteen per-
former Channels as described previously. Use direct outputs, aux
sends, etc.
• Patch the stereo mix output that you want the performers to hear into
the remaining two A-16T inputs.
The idea is that you will create two Presets on the Personal Mixers for the perform-
ers. The first is their standard cue mix. It uses fourteen channels; the last two are
muted. They can change it as needed while they work. The other Preset is the exact
opposite. The performer’s fourteen cue channels are muted and the two channels
containing the engineer’s playback mix are on.
For the example, let’s assume that Channels 1 through 14 are used for performer cue
playback. Channels 15 and 16 will be used to play back the recorded track.
To complete the setup:
• On the A-16T front panel, set the Link switch on Channels 15 and 16
to the right, linked, position.
• On each Personal Mixer create a basic mix of the fourteen channels of
audio.
• Mute Channels 15 and 16.
• Save the Preset (to location #1, for example).
• Create another Preset that has the first fourteen channels muted.
(Shortcut: Start by recalling the All Channels Zero Preset by holding
R
ECALL
and then pressing
M
UTE
.)
• Set a volume for the playback on Channels 15 and 16.
• Save the Preset (to location #16, for example).
When the musicians are cutting tracks, have them select Preset #1. Record tracks as
usual, with each musician listening to their personal customized cue mix. When you
want to listen back to a recorded take, have the performers switch to Preset #16. They
now hear the engineer’s mix. All players hear the same mix that the engineer can
control as needed.
Of course, the players can create additional cue mixes and save them to the remaining
empty Preset locations as needed.
Using Console Inserts
When you use your console’s insert points to send audio signals to the A-16T
Transmitter for processing, you have some options. The patching on the rear panel of
the A-16T is designed so that you can still use the insert point on your console for its
traditional use—adding an effect to a channel.
