The A-16R is a rack mounted version of the original A-16 Personal Mixer. Any combination of A-16 Personal Mixers and A-16R rack mounted Personal Mixers can be combined to create a personal monitoring system.The A-16R retains all the features of the A-16 Personal Mixer, and adds many new connectivity options. There are balanced outputs on the rear panel (with both XLR and Œ" jacks), stereo balanced insert points, and an auxiliary stereo mix input with a front-panel level control. Also new is the ability to store and recall User Presets via MIDI. There are MIDI In, Out, and Thru jacks on the rear panel of the 1U-high unit. The A-16R can also accept the A-16CS Control Surface as an option.The A-16R works great with wireless in-ear monitor transmitters. By placing the A-16R in the rack with the in-ear transmitters and power amps, all audio connection are in a central location.If you use wedge monitors in your system along with in-ear monitors and headphones, the A-16R allows you to create custom wedge mixes than can be instantly recalled by saving mix snapshots as Presets. An optional remote control is available, the A-16CS Control Surface.
