| The
A-16II Personal Mixer is an updated version of the original A-16 Personal
Mixer, part of the Personal Monitor Mixing System. The A-16II Personal
Mixer features newly designed higher voltage and higher current output
circuitry. The new output design allows even high impedance headphones
to be driven louder and cleaner. It also provides cleaner transient response
to the entire range of output devices.
A new plug
auto-detect circuit at the output determines whether the device plugged
into the A-16II’s audio out jack is mono or stereo. This prevents
shorting out one side of the mixer’s stereo output electronics and
makes it easier for the user to implement mono devices with the Personal
Monitor Mixing System. When a mono plug is detected in the output jack,
the circuit automatically pans the right channel information so that the
individual channel balance remains accurate.
Several new
software enhancements have been added in response to input from users
around the world. A new solo mode, called Held Solo, allows the user to
remain in Solo mode and make channel selections without returning to Mix
mode. A Global Trim function provides an easy way to decrease the volume
by 6dB on all sixteen mixer channels simultaneously by using a simple
button combination. Also, the A-16II Personal Mixer now has the ability
to display the last selected mix Preset, a handy way to help the user
when updating and saving Presets.
The A-16II
Personal Mixer is compatible with the new AVIOM16/o-Y1 Yamaha Output Card,
an expansion card for Yamaha digital mixers supporting the mini-YGDAI
format. The AVIOM16/o-Y1 card allows Aviom A-16II Personal Mixers to be
directly connected to the Yamaha digital consoles.
In addition
to these hardware and software updates, some new cosmetic enhancements
have also been added. A new writing surface, or “scribble strip”
has been designed that gives the user more room for channel names and
also allows for standard ½-inch masking tape to be used on the
mixer. Text on the new label has been re-arranged and now includes button
combination information for the Global Trim function as well as clearer
labeling of the Bass and Treble tone controls.
The Personal
Monitor Mixing System allows the performer to create a custom monitor
mix tailored to his/her individual needs. Designed for use in live performance
or in the studio, the Personal Mixer gives each performer control over
channel volume, grouping, pan, stereo spread and master volume. Each and
every Personal Mixer in the system can create a unique monitor mix for
a performer. Users can save and recall up to sixteen custom mixes as presets
in their Personal Mixer. The stereo output from the Personal Monitor Mixing
System can be used to drive floor wedge monitors, in-the-ear monitors,
headphones or spot monitors.
The new A-16II
Personal Mixer is fully compatible with all existing Personal Monitor
Mixing Systems and with Aviom’s AN-Series of Distributed Audio Network
products. As with all Aviom A-Net™ compatible products, cable runs
of up to 500 feet (150 meters) are possible between devices.
