Monitor System Setup
Configuring a Pro16 monitor mixing system requires only a few steps. Start
with all devices turned off. When all power, network, and audio connections
have been made, you can then power up all the components in your system.
Power up the personal mixers and any amplifiers or powered speakers last to
avoid unwanted pops or noises.
Power Connection
Connect the DC power supply to the A‑16R Personal Mixer unit. Plug the
power supply into an available AC power outlet. The Personal Mixer will be
on as long as it is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
No on/off power switches are included on the A‑16R. If you would like to
control the on/off state of your units, simply connect the power supplies to a
power strip with an on/off switch and use that as a system power switch.
DC power for the A‑16R Personal Mixer can optionally be supplied from
a Pro16 A‑Net distributor, eliminating the need for the power supply at
the mixer’s location. Refer to the documentation provided with the A‑Net
distributor for more system setup information.
P N
ote
: The optional A‑16CS Control surface gets its power from the A‑16R
when the A‑Control jacks are connected via a Cat‑5 cable. No
power supply is required.
System Connections
A single Cat‑5e cable is required to connect each A‑Net compatible device
in your system. Connect a Cat‑5e cable from the a-N
et
o
ut
jack on the input
module to the a-N
et
I
N
jack on the first Personal Mixer.
Connect additional A‑16R Personal Mixers with a Cat‑5e cable from the a-N
et
o
ut
jack on the first Personal Mixer to the a-N
et
I
N
jack on the next Personal
Mixer. (Repeat this process for each additional Personal Mixer unit in your
system.) Connecting the Personal Mixers in this manner is referred to as a
series connection, also known as a daisy chain.
When using the A‑16CS Control Surface with the A‑16R for remote mix control,
connect a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑16R A‑Control jack to the A‑Control input
on the rear panel of the A‑16CS.
Any combination of A‑16II and A‑16R Personal Mixers as well as other Pro16
output devices can be used to create a system.
