Owner’s Manual

•Mic Stand Adapter (optional)

PreSonus has designed the EM-Mount to mount the EarMix 16M on a mic stand,

allowing you to put your mix at your ﬁngertips. This accessory is sold separately

at your favorite PreSonus dealer or at www.presonus.com.

1.1 Companion PreSonus Products

Welcome to the PreSonus Ecosystem! As a solutions company, we believe

you have the best possible experience from the beginning of your signal

chain to the end. In order to achieve this goal, we’ve prioritized seamless

integration throughout every design phase of these products from day

one. The result is systems that communicate with each other as intended—

straight out of the box—without excessive conﬁguration hassle.

For more information on how our PreSonus AVB networking devices play so

well with one another, please review the PreSonus AVB Networking Guide.

2 Getting Started

2.1 Using a StudioLive Series III Front-of-House mixer

EarMix 16M

Owner’s Manual

2Getting Started

A good monitor mix is critical for musicians to perform to the best of

their ability. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the EarMix 16M

can make getting the best mix in your ears quick and easy.

Before you begin, here are a few rules to get you started:

•If your mixer is not properly gain staged, none of your mixes will sound

their best, including your monitor mixes. If a source in your EarMix is too

quiet or if it’s distorting, chances are the problem lies closer to the input.

•Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the level meters; when the

signal nears clipping, the top LED will illuminate, indicating that the

digital-to-analog converters are in danger of being overdriven.

The tutorials in this section have been created for the following

application, but can be altered accordingly for your personal needs:

•Drum Kit with 10 microphones

•Bass (DI and Amp)

•Rhythm Guitar (Amp)

•Acoustic Guitar (DI)

•Lead Guitar (Amp)

•Background vocals (2)

•Keys (Stereo Left/Right)

•Lead vocals (1)

2.1 Using a StudioLive Series III Front-of-House mixer

In most situations, the source audio for your EarMix 16M will come from

the same console that is running the front-of-house mix. This section

will guide you through this application. A tutorial for using a StudioLive

Classic- or AI-series mixer at Front-of-House can be found in Section 2.2.

Note: While this tutorial discusses using the EarMix 16M with the StudioLive 32, these

steps are applicable to using the StudioLive 16 and StudioLive 24 as well.

2 Getting Started

2.1 Using a StudioLive Series III Front-of-House mixer

EarMix 16M

Owner’s Manual

Connect you EarMix 16M units to your StudioLive Series III mixer as shown below and power on your equipment:

Power User Tip: The PreSonus SW5E AVB Switch provides PoE (Power over Ethernet) on ports 2-5. When connecting your EarMix 16M to these

ports, you do not need to connect the external power supply that came with your unit. Please Note: You must use the AVB In port to power your

EarMix 16M over Ethernet. The AVB Thru port does not accept input power.

5. Next you will need to select the AVB Sends from your mixer to which you route

to your EarMix. By default, the last 16 AVB Inputs are patched from Flex Mixes

1-16. In our example, let’s patch Inputs 41-48 to EarMix Sources 1-8 and Inputs

49-56 to EarMix Sources 9-16.

6. Press apply to ﬁnish.

Power User Tip: If you are conﬁguring multiple EarMix 16M Personal Monitor Mixers and

would like them to receive the same routing from the mixer, press the Apply All button.

This will apply the current AVB routings to every EarMix 16M currently on the AVB

network.

By default, every Flex Mix on your StudioLive mixer is conﬁgured as a pre-fader Aux

Mix. This tutorial will use this default setting.

Step 2: Drums

1. Press Mix 1 on your StudioLive mixer, this will automatically select its output.

2. Press Link in the Fat Channel to create a stereo Aux mix.

3. Create a mix on Flex Mix 1-2 for your drum channels. Because this aux mix is

stereo, you can conﬁgure pans as well as levels. This will allow you to create a

more polished mix. If you would like to add Fat Channel compression and EQ,

do that as well. Creating the best stereo mix for your drums will provide your

musicians with the best foundation to create their own mixes locally on their

EarMix 16M.
