Achieve Your Ideal Personal Mix with the Aviom A-16II Mixer
I recently had a chance to use Aviom’s A-16II mixer, and was pleasantly surprised, and impressed with it’s user friendly format/layout, and it’s outstanding mixing capabilities. This 16 channel stereo mixer gives you personal control over everything you would ever want to adjust on stage.
This is the first time I have ever felt truly comfortable with my on stage mix, and I’m not even picky. Whether you’re on an external monitor system, or using in ears, there is usually someone else in charge of your mix. Most of us do the best we can to let the sound guy know how much to adjust each level in our monitors, but usually end up settling on a mix that is less than ideal. Again, I am really not particular when it comes to my mix, but this Aviom system opened my eyes to what kind of mix is achievable on stage.
Now let’s get to the features of this device. Below I have put a picture, and a few functions of the A-16II (which were pulled straight from Aviom’s website)
- 16 Channel Stereo Mix
- Fully Adjustable Individual Channel Pan/Volume Control
- Auto Detect Mono/Stereo Circuitry (So No Dealing With All Those Pesky Cables)
- Simple Set-Up With Cat-5e Cables
- 16 Preset Locations For Storing Custom Mixes
- Pan/Spread Control With LED Readout
- Channel Volume Control With LED Level Readout
- Master Volume, Treble, and Bass Controls
- Easily Mountable
As you can see, these are just about all the features you would want in order to achieve the mix that is right for you. The Independent volume control allows you to change a level on the fly, and the custom mix option let’s you store a separate mix for every song if you like. The possibilities are truly endless, and I would definitely recommend this for the gigging musician.
