The Aviom A-16D Pro is a professional personal monitor mixing system that revolutionized on-stage monitoring by providing individual musicians with direct control over their own monitor mix. This system consists of a central 16-channel digital mixer, the A-16D, which connects to a mixing console via analog direct outputs or a digital AES/EBU stream. It distributes up to 16 channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio over a proprietary Cat5-based A-Net network to multiple Aviom personal mixer units (like the A-16II). Each musician can then use their own personal mixer to adjust the level, pan, and tone of each channel in their headphone or in-ear monitor feed independently, without affecting the mixes of other performers.

At the heart of the system, the A-16D Pro mixer serves as the digital hub, converting analog inputs to the A-Net format or passing through digital signals. It provides routing flexibility, allowing different mixes to be sent to different zones or personal mixers. The system is designed for exceptional audio quality with a wide dynamic range and low distortion, ensuring that performers hear a clear, detailed representation of the mix. The digital distribution over a single Cat5 cable for up to 16 channels dramatically reduces stage clutter compared to traditional analog monitor snake systems, simplifying setup and improving reliability.

The personal mixer units feature an intuitive interface with knobs or faders for each channel, a master volume control, and often a stereo aux input for a personal media player. The system supports daisy-chaining of multiple personal mixers from a single A-Net drop, making it highly scalable for bands of any size. The Aviom A-16D Pro system empowers performers, giving them the control they need to hear themselves and the band clearly, which leads to better performances and lower stage volumes. It has become an industry-standard tool in live sound, worship environments, and theater for creating customizable, consistent monitor experiences.
