Muting Groups

Groups can be muted if necessary while creating a mix or editing. The procedure is the same as for muting

a single channel. To mute a Group:

First select one of the channels that is part of the Group.

•

The upper (red) LED in each channel button that is part of a Group will be lit solid.

•

To mute the Group, press the

•

ute

button.

The lower (yellow) LEDs in all channel buttons contained in the Group will light, indicating

•

that the channels are now muted.
Unmute the Group by pressing the

•

ute

button again while the Group is still selected.

ote

The mute status of your Groups is saved as part of a Preset.

Global Trim Function

The Global Trim function can be used to lower all sixteen audio levels in a mix simultaneously, which is

useful when some of the channels are nearing maximum level and additional mix balance changes are

required. This function operates in a similar manner to a studio mixing console with automation; invoking

the command calculates a new volume level for all channels.

The Global Trim function drops the level of the mix by 6dB with each use, keeping the relative levels intact

among the sixteen audio channels. Changes to volume levels are instantly updated and can be seen on

the volume LED readout as each channel is selected. Note that as channels approach their minimum

volume level that the mix balance will change since the A-16II has no way of re-balancing the mix once the

minimum level for a channel has been reached.

The Trim function is labeled on the A-16II front panel, once near the G

ROup

button and once near the M

ute

button to indicate the button combination used to perform the Global Trim.

To Use the Global Trim function:

Hold the

•

ROup

button down.

While still holding the

•

ROup

button, press the M

ute

button once.

The mix is trimmed by 6dB on all channels

•

Perform additional trims as needed.

•

Edit the channel volumes on the current mix as needed.

•

Save the mix as a Preset to preserve the changes.
