Saving a Preset
It’s important to remember that your mix is not saved if you should power
the system down unless you store the mix as a Preset. You need to save a
Preset to a memory location to be able to recall it later. The channel buttons
serve as memory location buttons when in Save mode.
To save a Preset:
Hold down the • Re c a l l and GR o u p buttons, found to the left
of the label strip on the A‑16R and in the upper left side of
the A‑16CS.
While still holding the • Re c a l l and GR o u p buttons, press
the channel button (1 through 16) corresponding to the
memory location where you want the mix to be stored.
Release the channel button to store a Preset; you will •
see all the channel LEDs flash as confirmation of the save
operation.
Release the • Re c a l l and GR o u p buttons after selecting a
location.
If you want to store the same mix to multiple memory locations, you can press
memory location buttons as needed while the Re c a l l and GR o u p buttons are
being held down. A copy of the mix will be saved to each memory location.
Remember to save your new mix as a Preset to a memory location before
turning the system off. Unsaved edits to mix settings are not retained when
the A‑16R is powered off.
P No t e : When using the A‑16CS with the A‑16R it is important to note that
the Presets are stored in memory inside the A‑16R and not in the
A‑16CS.
What Gets Saved

Channel volumes•
Channel pan settings•
The Mute status of all channels•
Channel Groups (up to three) and Group volume settings•
The current active channel, linked pair, or Group•
One channel is always selected on a Personal Mixer, and this info is stored
with the mix Preset. By selecting a specific channel prior to saving a Preset
you can always have your favorite channel ready for real‑time editing when
the Preset is recalled.
