Inputs 1-2 are set to mono while inputs 3-4 are linked as a stereo pair.
For many Pro16e systems, the AN-16/i v.2 is better viewed as an input module with 8 stereo input
channels rather than just 16 channels. This approach ensures predictable results and avoids any
unexpected channel reassignment on the Personal Mixer as a result of a stereo link switch being changed
on an input module. Stereo sources greatly benefit the performer. Keeping stereo keyboards, guitar
processors, and submixes stereo preserves spatial information and allows a more accurate monitoring
environment for the performer.
Beyond the Default Channel Mapping
Custom mode on the A360 in conjunction with the A360 Channel Manager software can be used to
assign the network’s input sources to the 16 mix channels, Dual Profile Channel and One-Touch Ambience
buttons on each A360 Personal Mixer in a system, providing a custom channel layout for every performer.
The table below shows a sample channel map for an A360 using Custom mode that includes stereo and
mono sources.
