Here’s a quick guide to setting up your A320.Choose a Mixer ModeThe A320 can operate in one of two modes, 16-channel or 32-channel, which accommodate the twoversions of the A-Net protocol, Pro16 and Pro16e. Which mixer mode you should use is based on thenumber of input channels your personal mixing system has.16-Channel ModeIf your system has only one input device (analog or digital console card), use the 16-channel mode. Monoinputs are mapped to a single A320 mix channel button and stereo inputs are mapped to an adjacent pairof channels.By default, the A320 ships in 16-channel mode, so there is nothing to change if you want to plug your A320into a 16-channel system. To set the A320 back to 16-channel mode after using the 32-channel mode, holdthe M ute and ChANNel 1 buttons while powering up the unit. (The A320 powers up when its rear-panelCat-5 jack is connected to an A-Net Distributor port.)32-Channel ModeWhen a system includes multiple input devices or a Dante network, the 32-channel mode can be used. In32-channel mode, stereo inputs are mapped to a single A320 mix channel button, allowing up to 16 stereoinputs to be used.To set the A320 to use 32-channel mode, hold the M ute and ChANNel 2 buttons while powering up the unit.P Note: Once the mixer mode is set, the A320 retains the setting through power cycles and will onlyneed to be changed if the input section of the monitor system it is connected to changes.
