Headphones. This is the Headphone output for your EarMix 16M. This high-powered
headphone amplifier was designed to drive low-impedance devices such as
professional-caliber in-ear monitors. The output level is controlled via the Phones
knob on the top panel.
Warning: The headphone output on the EarMix 16M provides 150mW per channel across
the frequency response spectrum when driving with a 60Ω impedance load. In other
words, it can get very loud, very quickly. Please use caution when connecting your
headphones to your EarMix 16M.
Line Out. These balanced line outputs are to connect external devices like powered
floor monitors or additional headphone amplifiers. This stereo output pair receives
the same mix as the Headphone output. The Line Output level is controlled by the
Line Out knob on the top panel.
Aux Input. This 1/8” stereo line input allows you to connect an external device like
your Smartphone to play along with rehearsal music or backing tracks. The Aux Input
level is controlled by the Aux Input knob on the top panel.
Power User Tip: The Aux Input is a great way for drummers to play along to a click track
that only they can hear. Simply connect the output of your metronome, drum machine,
or Smartphone (if you’re using a metronome app) to the Aux Input.
AVB In. This RJ45 connection should be used to connect your EarMix 16M to your
AVB network. Your EarMix 16M can be powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet)
using this connection and an AVB switch that provides PoE.
AVB Thru. This RJ45 connection can be used to connect your EarMix 16M to your
AVB network, but does not accept PoE. You can also using this connection to daisy
chain additional EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers in situations where you are
connecting your EarMix devices directly to your mixer without an AVB switch or if
you have exhausted the available ports on your AVB switch.
Power. This Power input accepts power from the included external power supply.
Alternatively, you can use PoE and the AVB In.
Power Switch. This is the on / off switch for your EarMix 16M. Whether you are
powering your EarMix over PoE or with the included power supply, use this switch to
turn your unit on or off.
