Conventions Used in this Document

Button Presses

When indicating a specific button or switch, a special typeface is used. For example, “when selecting a Preset, press the Re c a l l button, followed by a numbered button”.

AN-Series

The AN‑16/i Input Module, AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module, and AN‑16/o Output Module are referred to generically as the AN-Series of products.

When describing audio network configurations, the AN‑16/i‑M Mic Input Module and most Pro16 console interface cards can be substituted anywhere the AN‑16/i is used.

Using Personal Mixers

It is possible to create an audio distribution and personal monitor system using any combination of the AV‑P2, AN‑Series I/O modules, and Personal Mixer products, including the A‑16II, and A‑16R.

When referring to the use of the personal mixers in a system in general, the terms A-16II Mixer or Personal Mixer are used to describe a case where a standard A‑16II Personal Mixer or a rack mounted A‑16R Personal Mixer (with/without the optional A‑16CS Control Surface) can be used.
