Powering Up
As when powering up any audio gear, it’s best to turn on all system
components in the safest possible order to minimize the risk of damage to
system components and your hearing. Start by turning on devices such as mic
preamps, mixers, keyboards, and effects processors. Follow this by turning
on power amps, or anything that applies power to speakers, headphones,
etc.
In the case of the Personal Monitor Mixing System, you should power up
your main audio mixer, effects devices, and keyboards first. Follow this by
powering up your A‑Net input module and then all connected Personal
Mixers.
Lastly, turn on any power amps, powered monitor speakers, in‑ear monitors,
etc., that are part of the monitor system.
Basic Navigation
When the A‑16R is powered up, Preset 1 is automatically selected. On the
Personal Mixer, one channel is always selected for editing. You can tell that a
channel is selected because the upper LED in its button is lit.
Each channel button has two LEDs, an upper and a lower. The red upper
LED indicates that the channel is selected; you can change its volume and
panning. You can also solo or mute the channel using the dedicated So l o and
mu t e buttons on the A‑16R Personal Mixer front panel (or from the A‑16CS).
The upper LEDs will also light in combination if a channel is stereo linked or
is part of one of the three available Groups. (More info on Groups appears
later.)
The lower yellow LED in each channel button indicates the channel’s mute
status. A lit yellow LED indicates that the channel is muted. Any number of
channels can be muted.
