DC Power Input
Connect the optional PS-120 DC power supply to the jack on the rear of the Personal Mixer. Use only power
supplies designed for your Aviom products.
Audio Outputs
The audio outputs on the rear of the A-16II Personal Mixer can be used with headphones, in-ear monitors,
powered speakers, or any other device that can accept a line level audio output. Stereo, dual-mono, and
mono outputs are available by using the appropriate cables.

The headphone/line output of the A-16II has a TRS stereo output.
Stereo
The TRS outputs on the Personal Mixer are stereo. Any pair of stereo headphones or earphones can simply
be plugged into the jack.
To connect a set of stereo speakers (studio monitors or stage speakers), use a stereo to dual-mono adapter
to split the stereo signal into separate left and right mono signals. Then connect a standard mono cable to
the audio input of the left and the right amplifier for the speakers.
Mono
To use a mono amplifier, powered speaker, etc., connect a standard unbalanced TS audio interconnect
cable (tip and sleeve “guitar cord” type) from the audio output on the Personal Mixer to the audio input on
your mono device.
To connect to a mono input on a device that has an XLR input connection, you need to use a cable that has
a tip-sleeve unbalanced ¼” jack on one end and an XLR on the other.

:
Using a tip-ring-sleeve ¼” jack to XLR cable will cause the left and right channels to be
summed, resulting in a loss of level.
Automatic Mono/Stereo Plug Detection
When a cable is plugged into the Line/Headphone output jack on the rear of the A-16II, the auto-detect
circuit determines whether the device is mono or stereo.
If a mono device is recognized, the A-16II automatically pans all channels to the left output and adjusts
the balance accordingly. This is done to avoid a situation where a mix has channels panned hard right that
would not be heard if only the left audio channel was being monitored.
