Using Personal Mixers
When referring to the use of the Personal Mixers in a personal mixing system in general, the term Personal
Mixer is used to describe a case where an A320 Personal Mixer or A360 Personal Mixer can be used. Legacy
personal mixers such as the A-16II and A-16R may also be used.
Cat-5 Cables
In most cases Cat-5e, Cat-6, and Cat-6e cables can be interchanged. When speaking about interconnections
between components in a system, the term Cat-5 is used generically to indicate the use of any of the
applicable cable types.
A-Net Distributors
The Aviom D800, D800-Dante, A-16D and A-16D Pro A-Net Distributors are referred to generically as A-Net
Distributors. These are used to supply power to the A320 and to copy an A-Net digital signal and split it
into multiple copies so that personal mixers may be connected in parallel.
Channels and Slots
Analog input devices and digital console cards used with Aviom personal mixing systems typically provide
16 input channels each to the Pro16 network. Once a part of the network, we refer to these resources as
Slots rather than channels.
Button Presses
When instructed to press a specific button on the A320 Personal Mixer, a special font style is used. For
example, “Press the S
olo
button.”
