The left/right outputs of the submix get connected totwo input channels on the AN-16/i v.2 where the channels can be linked as a stereo pair; performers mixand monitor the submix in stereo on their Personal Mixers.Aux Sends (Effects Sends)An Auxiliary Send (also called an Aux Send or effects send) is typically used on mixing console to send thesignal from one or more channels into an effect device such as a reverb. Using a dedicated set of knobsfound in each channel strip, each channel can have a different amount of the effect applied as needed.An Aux Send does not have to be used exclusively with effects, though. You can think of an Aux Send asanother mini mixing console; it functions in a similar manner to a bus output. It is used to pass the audiosignals from the console to another destination. You can use any combination of available line-level audiosources with the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module.The method for using an Aux Send to create a source for a monitor mix is similar to that described for usinga bus output. Most consoles have from two to eight Aux Sends. Some console designs also allow Aux Sendsto be pre- or post-fader. Choose pre-fader if the option exists so that an engineer’s changes to a channel’svolume will not change the level going into a personal mixing system. The number of independent audiosignals that can be sent to the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module via Aux Sends will depend upon the design of themixing console you are using.The following diagram shows multiple mixing console channels sending various amounts of signal to oneaux send; the output of the aux send is connected to one input on the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module.channelsfeed audioto aux send #1output is a singleaudio signalAn pre-fader Aux Send allows each channel to be routed to an output independent of the channel fader level.
