31Audio OutputsThe audio outputs on the rear of the A-16R Personal Mixer can be used with anydevice that can accept a line level audio output, such as in-ear monitor wirelesstransmitters, powered speaker systems, and recording devices. Stereo and dual-monooutputs are available. Both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS jacks are available.Both sets of audio outputs can be connected at the same time.Stereo OperationThe XLR and TRS line outputs on the rear panel of the A-16R Personal Mixer areindependent of the front-panel headphone output signal. The mix appearing at eachset of outputs is the same, but the setting of the Mono/Stereo switch only affects therear-panel outputs.Connect the Left and Right outputs (XLR or TRS) of the A-16R to the Left/Rightline-level audio inputs on the in-ear transmitter or other audio device.Setting the gain structure properly will ensure the best audio fidelity. Rotate theMaster Volume on the front panel of the A-16R to the 1-2 o’clock position for start-ers. Then, raise the input level on your audio device until the input level is loud, butnot distorted. Use the on-board level meters if the receiving device has them to getmaximum gain without audio clipping.Mono OperationAs mentioned previously, only the rear-panel audio outputs are affected by theMono/Stereo switch. The headphone output on the front panel of the A-16R is alwaysstereo. This allows the listener to have a stereo headphone mix while at the sametime using a mono subwoofer to enhance low-end response. As an example, whenperforming live, a drummer can connect headphones to the front panel headphoneoutput of an A-16R while at the same time the audio signal is connected to a monoamp and crossover combination being used to create a bass shaker system in theplatform he is sitting on.To use a mono amplifier, powered speaker, subwoofer, etc., connect a standard audiointerconnect cable (TRS or XLR type) from the audio output on the rear of the A-16Rto the audio input on your mono device. For best results, set the Mono/Stereo switchto the Mono position.Unbalanced audio sources can be connected by using standard guitar-type (or tip-sleeve) cables.
