It is possible to connect an external effects processor to the AW4416 if additional effects are required. The following information outlines the procedure for connecting an external effects processor using
OMNI OUT 1, configuring the AW4416, routing input channel signal to the external unit, and adding the
effected signal to the mix.

Audio Cable Connections:

NOTE: The 'OMNI OUT' outputs are 1/4'' TS (unbalanced) with a nominal level of 0dB. Refer to the
documentation of the effects processor manufacturer to determine additional cabling requirements.

1) Connect the 1/4'' plug-end of an audio cable to 'OMNI OUT 1' on the AW4416.
2) Connect the other end of the audio cable to the input of the effects processor.
3) Connect the outputs of the effects processor to two Input Channels of the AW4416, i.e. Input Channels 15 and 16.

NOTE: Step 3 assumes a stereo output configuration on the effects processor. Use one Input Channel on the AW4416 if using a 'mono' output on the effects processor.


AW4416 Configuration:
1) Press the [SETUP] button.
2) Press the [F2] button to access the 'Patch OUT' screen.
3) Use the Cursor buttons to select the OMNI OUT '1' box in the OMNI OUT ASSIGN section. The border of the box will begin blinking.
4) Set the source for 'OMNI OUT 1' to 'AUX 1' using the (DATA/JOG) dial.


Input Channel Routing:


1) Press either the INPUT [1-16] or INPUT [17-24/RTN] button to select the correct 'Mixing
Layer', depending upon which input channels are to be routed to the effects processor.

2) Press the [AUX 1] button in the 'FADER MODE' section.

3) Raise the faders of the desired Input Channels that are to be routed to the external effects
processor.

NOTE: The higher the fader is raised, the more signal from that Input Channel is sent to the effects unit.


Adding the Effected Signal to the Mix:


1) Press the [HOME] button.

2) Press the INPUT [1-16] button.

3) If necessary, press the [ON] buttons to turn ON the Input Channels that the output of the
effects processor are connected to, i.e. Input Channels 15 and 16.

4) Raise the faders of the Input Channels that the output of the effects processor are connected
to, i.e. Input Channels 15 and 16.


NOTE: The higher the faders are raised, the more effected signal from the effects processor will be
added to the overall mix.

TIP: Additional effects processors can also be connected using the above procedures, utilizing OMNI
OUT 2, etc.
