options if a signal level above +14dBu needs to be connected to the AN‑16/i
input: lower the output level of the device feeding the AN‑16/i channel input
to eliminate clipping, or choose another input setting. Using the +4dBu
setting, for example, provides more headroom, allowing a maximum signal
level of +18dBu to be used.
Check the specifications of your audio gear if you are unsure about its
maximum output level. Although you won’t harm the AN‑16/i or your audio
devices by using an incorrect level setting, you do want to avoid distorting
the audio that passes through the system.
Stereo Link Switch
The AN‑16/i Input Module provides an easy solution for stereo input sources
such as mixer sub‑groups, keyboards, effects device outputs, and CD/DVD
player outputs when incorporating the AN‑16/i into a personal monitoring
system.
When using the AN‑16/i Input Module with Pro16 output modules alone to
create a digital snake or audio distribution network, the setting of the Stereo
Link switch will have no effect. The Stereo Link switch is most useful when
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.
There are eight Stereo Link switches on the front panel of the AN‑16/i. They
can be used in any combination, as your needs require. The 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 default setting, 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 Stereo Link switch to the right.
(Moving the switch to the Link position causes all Personal Mixers, including
the A‑16CS Control Surface, connected to the system to instantly update
their channel status.)
