Mono/Stereo Link Switch
The AN-16/i v.2 Input Module provides an easy solution for stereo input sources such as mixer sub-groups,
keyboards, DSP effects device outputs, computers, and MP3 or CD/DVD player outputs when incorporating
the AN-16/i v.2 into a personal mixing system.
There are eight stereo link switches on the front panel of the AN-16/i v.2. They can be used in any
combination, as your needs require. The Mono/Stereo link switch is located between two channels—one
odd and one even. Stereo links always affect adjacent channels (for example, channels 1 and 2, channels
13 and 14, etc.).
The Mono/Stereo link switch is used to turn a pair of adjacent channels into a stereo channel that can be
controlled as a single source on the Pro16 series of Personal Mixers, including the A360 Personal Mixer.
A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers treat a stereo pair as adjacent linked channels. The A360 Personal Mixer
can use stereo channels in two ways: in Pro16 mode where adjacent channels are treated as they are on the
A-16II and A-16R, or in Default or Custom mode where the incoming stereo pair is assigned to a single mix
channel button. For more information on using stereo sources with the A360, see page 32.
When using the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module with Pro16 output modules to create a digital snake or audio
distribution network, the setting of the Mono/Stereo switch will have no effect.
The default setting, Mono, with the switch to the left, allows independent control of each input channel
from Personal Mixers connected to the system. To link channels together as a stereo input, move the
Mono/Stereo link switch to the right to the S
tereO
position. Moving the switch to the S
tereO
position causes
all Personal Mixers connected to the system, including the A-16CS Control Surface (the remote controller
used with the A-16R), to instantly update their channel status (except when an A360 Personal Mixer is set
for Custom mode).
