We gave EarMix 16M fully professional sound quality, build quality, and features, including a high-performance headphone amplifier, to ensure you have the monitoring you need for any situation. Each EarMix 16M accepts 16 mono channels of input via AVB networking—and you can network multiple units with a StudioLive Series III mixer.\u003cimg class=\"product-basic-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www-media-presonus.netdna-ssl.com\/uploads\/products\/media\/images\/earmix_16m-02.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container product-basic-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLoud, clear, customizable mixes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality monitoring is crucial for artists to deliver their best performance, so we’ve given the EarMix 16M a loud, clear headphone amplifier that can drive low-impedance devices such as professional-caliber in-ear-monitors. We started with a top of the line digital-to-analog converter for the best dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio. We took special care in the amplifier design to deliver excellent sound with a wide range of in-ear monitors and headphones with different impedances. Controls and inputs can be customized on each unit to allow each musician to create a mix that works best for them. Once you’ve perfected a set of monitor mixes, save the whole scene to internal memory; you can store and recall up to 16 mix scenes locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container product-basic-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is an AVB network?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio networking is much more than just a way to connect a digital snake. With an AVB network, you can connect digital audio devices over long distances using CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable and route your audio anywhere on the network with extremely low latency. AVB offers several unique benefits that make it a better choice for audio than other networking protocols. For example, AVB provides a high-precision clock that significantly reduces harmonic distortion and phasing, ensuring your audio stays clear and clean. AVB ensures you always have enough bandwidth to carry your low latency audio—even when your intern starts streaming a movie. These important benefits are an inherent part of AVB; you don’t need to do anything special to your devices or AVB switch. And you can only get them with AVB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hidden-xs hidden-sm col-md-6 col-lg-6\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"product-basic-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www-media-presonus.netdna-ssl.com\/uploads\/products\/media\/images\/avb-logo.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-fluid product-sectional\" data-small-bgcolor=\"#fefefe\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-fluid-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePoE: Remote power for networked devices.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EarMix 16M can be powered with its included external power supply but in many cases—such as when it’s difficult to provide power across multiple onstage locations—it’s better to use Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a technology that enables network cables to carry electrical power to compatible devices. With PoE, a single cable delivers both network data, such as digital audio, and electrical power. You can locate a PoE-enabled device anywhere you can run an Ethernet cable because you don’t need a local power source.

Available with 16, 24, or 32 local inputs, StudioLive Series III rack mixers will take your personal monitoring to the next level. Because the EarMix input module is a stand-alone mixer, you have Gate, EQ, Compression, and Limiting on every input and bus, plus the ability to create up to four effects mixes with reverb or delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the master effects and dynamics processing available on the StudioLive Series III rack-mount mixer, each EarMix 16M is equipped with a 3-band EQ and Limiter for each of the 16 channels, plus the master. More on that in a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOPTION 1: Direct Connect\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudioLive Series III rack mixers are available in 16-, 24-, and 32-channel input configurations. This allows you to choose how much busing you would like to do from your Front-of-House mixer. For example, if your FOH mixer has 32-channels, each with their own direct output, you may wish to directly connect a StudioLive 32R and do your busing locally on your EarMix System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/pae-web.presonusmusic.com\/uploads\/news\/media\/images\/32_TO_32.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this configuration, you will need to create subgroups on your StudioLive 32R and route those buses to one of the 16 network inputs available on your EarMix 16M. The advantage of this system is that the mixing and processing for your EarMix System are entirely self-contained. This allows you to provide your musicians with a true monitor mix experience, because all compression and EQ settings are customized for the stage and completely separated from what the audience is hearing in the main mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOPTION 2: Get on the Bus\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe your mixer isn’t equipped with direct outputs on every channel. Or maybe you’re on a tight budget and would like to save some cost. In this configuration, you will take a much larger mix and bus it down to a more manageable number. So, in our example, a 32-channel mix becomes 14 buses that are then connected to a StudioLive 16R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/pae-web.presonusmusic.com\/uploads\/news\/media\/images\/32_TO_14.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this example, you can still use the StudioLive 16R’s processing to add bus compression and EQ that is customized for your performers, freeing up your Front-of-House engineer to dial in the sound for the audience. You can also use the StudioLive 16R’s two effects buses to add Reverb and Delay to any instrument group that you wish. These return streams can then be routed to individual channels on the EarMix 16M, allowing each musician to set their own wet \/ dry blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith either option, once you have dialed in the processing and levels for your EarMix system, you no longer need to have a computer, iPad, or Android tablet connected to your StudioLive rack mixer. All settings and routing will be stored and remain unchanged until you reconnect software control and make an alteration to your set-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSTEP 2: Distributing Audio Over the Network\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your analog connections are made, the next step is to add a switch, so that audio can be sent to the EarMix 16M mixers. This is where the PreSonus SW5e comes in. This compact AVB switch allows you to connect up to four (4) EarMix 16M mixers and will provide power to each of them. Multiple switches can be daisy-chained to connect more EarMix 16M mixers as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/pae-web.presonusmusic.com\/uploads\/news\/media\/images\/EarMix_System.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSTEP 3: Local Mixing and Listening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarMix 16M mixers provide a truly customizable listening experience for each musician. Once the sources are connected, each musician can add EQ and limiting to each channel, plus the Main Mix. Channels can be grouped, providing a single level control for multiple channels that is determined by the musician controlling the mix, not a distant and distracted Front-of-House engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd EarMix 16M personal monitor mixers can be connected to in-ear monitors and headphones, or powered speakers or amps, so no matter how your musicians wish to hear themselves, they can control their mix from stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/pae-web.presonusmusic.com\/uploads\/news\/media\/images\/EarMix_outputs.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerful, flexible, and affordable, EarMix provides professional personal monitoring that is easy to integrate into existing systems and even easier to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PreSonus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52294032818465,"sku":"PRE-SL-EARMIX16M","price":899.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1502\/9317\/files\/Earmix_16m-left__45315.jpg?v=1770105035","url":"https:\/\/koalaaudio.com.au\/products\/presonus-earmix-16m-personal-monitor-mixer","provider":"Koala Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
