Optional Remote Control
When using the A‑16R in a monitor system, the A‑16CS Control Surface can
be used as an optional remote control device. This enables the A‑16R to be
placed in a remote location while at the same time providing the user with
complete control over their monitor mix environment.
It is important to note that the A‑16R front panel has a switch that selects
whether the front panel buttons and knobs of the A‑16R or the A‑16CS
Control Surface will be used for editing. The Remote/Local switch must be
in the lo c a l position to use the front panel controls or to send/receive MIDI
SysEx data. The Remote/Local switch should be in the Re m o t e position when
the A‑16CS is being used.
A-16R Master Volume Control
When using an A‑16CS Control Surface with an A‑16R it is also important to
note that the position of the Master Volume knob on the A‑16R rack sets the
total volume output for the unit. The A16CS Control Surface simply offsets
that master volume setting, allowing for precise system gain setup.
Switching from remote to local control with the Re m o t e /lo c a l switch may
cause an increase in the overall volume, since this removes the A‑16CS
Control Surface from the signal path.
