Aviom unveils ‘next generation’ personal mixer

Aviom is introducing its latest personal mixer, the A360, as the ‘next generation’ of its technology, describing it as bringing ‘new levels of control, customisation, clarity, and fidelity’ to the end-user. A number of new features are offered, including stereo placement pan-spread control, dual profile channel, one-touch ambience, and instant mix recalls.

Based on an enhanced version of Aviom’s Pro16 A-Net protocol, Pro16e, the technology driving the A360 allows multiple 16-channel banks of monitoring content to be delivered over a single Cat-5 cable. The mixer offers the ability to choose which channels are mixed on each unit in the system. Each personal mixer may use the default channels, or audio channels can be selected and organised individually for each unit, drawing from a network pool of up to 64 channels. Other features include volume, tone and reverb adjustment on each of the stereo or mono mix channels.

The manufacturer has also launched the AN-16/i v.2 Input Module to support the A360. The AN-16/i v.2 converts 16 line-level analogue audio channels to a Pro16e A-Net digital stream.

The AN-16/i v.2 includes an A-Net Input jack for connecting up to three additional input modules. The analogue inputs of the AN-16/i v.2 are merged with this incoming A-Net stream to create the expanded Pro16e digital audio stream used by the A360.

The input module features eight four-position input level/gain sensitivity switches, stereo channel link switches for every channel pair, and per-channel signal present and clip LEDs on the front panel. On the rear panel, it has 16 analogue audio inputs with balanced ¼-inch TRS jacks. The audio Thru jack for each input allows the AN-16/i v.2 to be inserted into an existing audio signal path. Also on the rear panel are one A-Net In jack and one A-Net Out jack, along with a slide switch for assigning the channel bank. The AN-16/i v.2 can reportedly be used with any line-level analogue audio signal such as console direct outs, inserts, or aux sends.

In addition, the AN-16/i v.2 will also work with Aviom’s A-16II personal mixers, and can be deployed as part of a Pro16 digital snake or audio distribution system. These systems support a range of configurations, including 16x0, 32x0,48x0, 64x0, 16x16, 32x16, 32x32, and 48x16.
