Some important points to keep in mind:
Set the • Remote/Local switch to the lo c a l position to use
the front panel of the A‑16R for editing and save/recall of
Presets. MIDI can also be used for changing mix param‑
eters and for Preset save/recall. (The A‑16CS is disabled.)
Set the • Remote/Local switch to the Re m o t e position to use
an A‑16CS Control Surface to remotely control the A‑16R.
Editing mixes and save/recall of your Presets only works
from the A‑16CS in this case. MIDI is disabled.
Only the • Mix In knob on the A‑16R rack will function when
the Remote/Local switch is set to the Re m o t e position. This
is an analog control.
When using an A‑16CS with an A‑16R the settings of the Bass, Treble, and
Master Volume knobs are independent. Switching mix control between the
Local and Remote settings can cause unexpected changes in volume and EQ
if the settings of the knobs are not similar. Remember that the master Volume
on the A‑16R sets to total mix level.
Global Controls
The three knobs in the upper right section of the A‑16R Personal Mixer affect
your overall mix volume and tone directly. The Bass, Treble, and Master
volume controls are always active, regardless of the state of the current mix
or selected Preset. These are analog controls and their settings are not stored
as part of a mix preset.
Tone Controls
Use the Bass and Treble controls to change the overall balance of bass or
treble frequencies in your mix. These controls affect the entire mix, not the
individual channels.
The default position for the Ba S S and tR e B l e knobs is at 12 o’clock. To add more
low frequencies to your monitor mix, turn the Ba S S knob to the right of the 12
o’clock position. To remove lows, turn the knob counterclockwise past the
center. To change the high‑frequency content, follow the same procedure;
turn the tR e B l e knob right to add highs, left to diminish them.
