AVIOM MIXING
A320 Personal Mixer
Made for the musician
Musicians are not engineers, and mixing while playing music or singing is very different than just mixing. That's why the A320 is designed with such a clean user interface. No clutter. No menus. Just quick access to the mixing controls you need.
Simple to its core
The A320 doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. By design. Because when you're focused on playing music, bells and whistles can just get in the way. That's why the A320 gives musicians the controls that matter most for adjusting their monitor mix and keeps the rest out of the way.
Stereo clarity in every channel
Each of the 16 mix channels on the A320 can host a mono or a stereo source. That means you can preserve the fidelity of your stereo instruments and submixes from the console without giving up another mix source in your personal mixer. And that translates directly into clearer, more natural sounding monitor and cue mixes.
Easy stereo placement for outstanding clarity
Good stereo imaging in a monitor mix is essential for hearing every source clearly and distinctly, within the context of the ensemble. It's also an important way to reduce the sense of isolation many musicians experience with in-ear monitors.
Like the A360 Personal Mixer, the A320 allows users to pan both mono and stereo sources. With stereo sources, the Stereo Placement control adjusts both the separation and the position of the source in the mix as a whole. The A320 places all that power in a single control, allowing musicians to make a clear, natural sounding monitor mix with just the simple turn of the knob.
Rich, vibrant sound quality, especially with in-ears
The A320 uses the same master tone filters as the premier A360. They're easy to use—even if you don't know a thing about EQ—and they'll help your in-ear monitors sound their best, no matter what type of music you play.
Rugged and reliable
From the enduring simplicity of the mechanical design to the elegant efficiency of the embedded software, the A320 is built to work when you need it to work and to withstand the abuses of life on stage and in the studio.
Consistency night after night
The A320 includes space for eight mix presets, so you can save your favorite mixes and get reliable results in your monitors every time you play.
How it works
Whether you're adding to an existing Aviom personal mixing system or building a new one, getting up and running with the A320 is a breeze. For older systems, use the A320 in Pro16 mode, with 16 channels spread across the interface and stereo sources occupying adjacent channel buttons, like on the iconic A-16II Personal Mixer. For systems with more channels, switch the A320 into Pro16e mode to access the full power of its 32-channel mix engine which supports any combination of 16 mono or stereo sources.

A360 Personal Mixer
Mixing power made for musicians
The A360 gives musicians a powerful combination of power and simplicity. Even the most demanding musicians can get the mixes they want, with rich sound and outstanding clarity. And it's all in a package that's easy to use, even while you're focused on singing or playing.
Choose the channels you want to mix
Under the hood, the A360 has a mix engine with loads of power, so you don't have to make compromises in your mix. Every user can select exactly the sources they want to mix—from up to 64 of them—so drummers can have lots of drum channels and the vocalists can have lots of vocal channels. The free A360 Channel Manager makes it easy to create custom channel maps. Read our Using A360 Channel Manager blog post for more info.
Hear each source more clearly
Each A360 mix channel can host a mono or stereo source and may be adjusted for volume, stereo placement, tone, and reverb. With more control over each channel, you get a better sounding mix fast.
Stereo fidelity in every channel
Each mix channel on the A360 can be either stereo or mono—which means you don't have to give up the fidelity of your stereo keyboards, guitar effects, or submixes in order to save channel space on your personal mixer.
Every audio source can be heard in full stereo fidelity without taking up additional space on the mixer. This both ensures that every channel sounds its best, improving the fidelity of the overall mix as well, and frees up space for more mix content—without adding more complexity for the musician.
Get to your favorite channel—or settings—faster
The A360's Dual Profile Channel reserves prime real estate for each musician's favorite or most important channel, so you don't have to spend even a beat looking for it.
As a bonus, the Dual Profile Channel also offers two sets of mix settings for that channel, instantly accessible through the A or B profile select buttons. In a single touch, you can make your channel louder, brighter, and wetter.

Exploring the A360 Dual Profile Channel
Get more out of your in-ears
The reality for many musicians is that the switch from a wedge to in-ears can be disappointing. The A360 can change all that. Designed from top to bottom with in-ear monitors in mind, the A360 gives musicians the controls they need to make their in-ears sound better than ever.
Make in-ear monitors sound rich and full
The EQ curves for the master tone controls on the A360 were designed specifically for the sonic characteristics of in-ear monitors. The A360's master Bass, Treble, and Enhance™ tone controls will make your in-ear monitors sound fantastic no matter what kind of music you play.
Add space to your ears
The A360's per-channel reverb control lets you easily restore some of the spaciousness your ears naturally expect. This feature, combined with the A360's powerful Stereo Placement™ controls, gives in-ear monitor users a whole new monitoring experience.
With high-resolution panning for mono channels and the independent pan and spread control for stereo channels, every source can be positioned precisely in the mix's stereo field, reducing musicians' sense of isolation and improving the clarity of the entire mix.
Reconnect with your audience
One-Touch Ambience is an easy way to add ambience to your mix when you want it. Use the built-in ambience mic or set up room mics and assign those channels to the One-Touch Ambience controls on your A360 with the free A360 Channel Manager software. Either way, because the A360 mix engine reserves space for ambience audio, you don't have to sacrifice any other mix sources to add ambience.
Feel your in-ear mix
The A360's Mono Mix Out has a dedicated volume control and XLR connector. You can use it for a powered wedge, but it's even better for adding a tactile transducer (bass shaker). Musicians can once again experience the tactile feedback they may be used to when using a floor wedge or speaker cabinet while still enjoying the clarity and convenience of in-ear monitors. And Aviom makes it easy with the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor.
Simplify connections to wireless in-ears
In systems that include a D800 or D800-Dante A-Net Distributor, Network Mix Back can be used to eliminate analog connections from the A360 to transmitter units for wireless in-ears.
Extend the interface with iOS
A360 Display is an iOS® app that augments the hardware interface with multi-channel views that show each channel in the context of the mix as a whole.
Take your mix with you
Save everything about your mixer—mix settings, channel assignments, names—to a USB thumb drive for safekeeping or transferring to another unit. It's never been easier for multiple ensembles to share personal mixers or for those on tour to be sure their mix settings are preserved from show to show, even if you're using rental gear.
How it works
Audio is taken from your existing console and distributed to the personal mixers using standard Cat-5e cables. Set-up and configuration is all plug-and-play easy, and you don't need to worry about managed network switches, IP addresses, or latency accumulation.

BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor
Now you can feel your monitor mix, too. BOOM-1 is designed to dramatically enhance a performer's personal mixing experience by adding powerful, optimally-processed low-frequency tactile information to an in-ear or headphone monitor mix.
Designed by the personal monitor experts, it's easy to use and provides a natural low-frequency extension to your monitoring environment. The BOOM System products are compatible with all Aviom personal mixing systems.
Front Panel
- 1/4-inch TRS Stereo Headphone In and Thru
- Strength control with Signal and Clip LED indicators
- Three selectable Feel presets control multiple DSP settings for user-preferred Tight to Loose feel
- Transducer Mute with LED (easily compare your mix with and without the tactile transducer engaged)
- Seamless integration with any personal mixing system
- Locking Transducer Out
- Custom tailor the response of the BOOM-1 to a variety of tactile transducers with the DSP Profile settings
- XLR mono input for direct connection to the A360 Personal Mixer
- XLR mono out provides the DSP processed signal for connection to an external power amplifier for driving large tactile transducer arrays
Made for musicians using in-ears
In-ear monitors provide a detailed and personal monitoring experience. Adding a well processed low-frequency tactile transducer (also known as a 'bass shaker') to a drum throne, keyboard seat, guitarist's stool, performance platform, or even to the floor of a stage, allows the body to feel bass frequencies, adding realism to the mix. The BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor brings Aviom-optimized DSP to the tactile experience.
Being able to hear and feel your mix can significantly improve the user experience when using in-ear monitors and/or headphones, providing powerful sound usually achieved only with high volume and large, high quality speaker cabinets.
Tactile transducers are especially beneficial to those using electronic drum kits, as well as guitar and bass amp simulators. Why? Because playing an acoustic drum kit or an electric guitar or bass through an amp actually vibrates the floor and this vibration becomes part of the live performance experience. When you switch to an electronic drum kit or a modeled amp system without speaker cabinets, those natural vibrations are eliminated. ...Until now.
A Great Combination
Using personal mixers and IEMs/headphones along with tactile transducers allows performers to achieve powerful, exciting monitor mixes at lower in-ear levels. This reduces sound-level-induced fatigue allowing longer, more enjoyable performances while also promoting long-term hearing health.
BOOM System Accessories
Aviom makes adding tactile transducers to your monitoring system as easy as possible by providing a set of accessory products that are designed to be plug-and-play simple. We've partnered with some of the industry's leading manufacturers to offer tactile-enhanced versions of their products that can be directly connected to the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor.
The CTT-1 Clamp-On Tactile Transducer has a universal mount that makes connecting a tactile transducer to the stem of most drum thrones or stools easy. At the heart of the CTT-1 is a premium ButtKicker® transducer, and an integrated locking speaker cable ensures a solid connection to the BOOM-1 processor.
Aviom's PFS-1 Performance Stool combines a sturdy QuikLok® performance stool with a built-in tactile transducer system. The stool has an adjustable seat, back, and foot rest that allows it to be customized to suit any player. Simply connect the stool to the BOOM-1 using the included locking-type speaker cable.
The PLF-1 Platform, powered by ButtKicker®, is a portable performance platform that is the perfect solution for those performers—especially bass players, guitarists and vocalists—who stand on stage. The sturdy 28" x 32" (71 x 81cm) platform uses a premium ButtKicker tactile transducer and is designed with an opening in the front to allow convenient positioning of mic and music stands. Simply connect the platform to the BOOM-1 using the included locking-type speaker cable.
The KBS-1 is an adjustable On-Stage Stands® keyboard seat with an integrated tactile transducer system. Simply connect the seat to the BOOM-1 using the included locking-type speaker cable.
And if you need extra locking speaker cable, we have that, too. The SPK-5 is a 5-meter (16.4 feet), 14AWG heavy-duty cable with locking connectors.
New to Tactile Transducers?
A tactile transducer is similar in concept to a speaker (without the paper cone) and is designed to be most effective reproducing low frequencies like those produced in music by bass instruments and drums (typically 200Hz and below).
They are also quite effective when used for games and with sound effects for movies. But since a tactile transducer is designed without a speaker diaphragm, it can be used to allow you to feel low frequency vibrations while making very little audible sound.
That makes a tactile transducer a great addition to a personal mixing system when performers are using in-ear monitors. The frequency spectrum is more complete, and you'll be able to monitor at lower volumes while retaining all the fullness and excitement of performing at higher volumes.
Personal Mixers + In‑Ears + BOOM
Compatible with Aviom's industry standard A360, A320, and all other Personal Mixers, the BOOM-1 can be connected easily to the line- or headphone-level audio outputs of a performer's Personal Mixer.
It's Simple To Set Up
BOOM-1 can be added to any personal mixer. All that's required is a stereo headphone output or a dedicated mono line-level output. BOOM-1 takes care of the rest. Connecting BOOM-1 to your existing system is easy:
• Connect the TRS stereo headphone output from a Personal Mixer to the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor's headphone-level input.
• For A360 Personal Mixers there's even a dedicated XLR line-level input on the BOOM-1 rear panel. Just connect a standard mic cable from the the A360's Mono Mix Out jack instead of using the Headphone output.
• Connect the Transducer Out to your tactile transducer using a locking-style speaker cable.
That's it; connect your earbuds or headphones and you're ready to start mixing. The Strength setting controls how much of the source signal from your mix is sent to the tactile transducer. Use the Feel control to choose an optimized DSP setting from Tight to Loose that best suites you and your music.
Setup
The examples below show various Personal Mixers connected to the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor. The system diagrams use a drum throne as an example, but you can use any tactile transducer equipped seat, stool, performance platform, or stage instead. The connections between the BOOM-1 processor and transducer input are the same.

The A360's Mono Mix Out has a dedicated volume control and XLR connector. You can use it for a powered wedge, but it's even better for adding a tactile transducer (bass shaker). Musicians can once again experience the tactile feedback they may be used to when using a floor wedge or speaker cabinet while still enjoying the clarity and convenience of in-ear monitors. And Aviom makes it easy with the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor.
Simplify connections to wireless in-ears
In systems that include a D800 or D800-Dante A-Net Distributor, Network Mix Back can be used to eliminate analog connections from the A360 to transmitter units for wireless in-ears.
Extend the interface with iOS
A360 Display is an iOS® app that augments the hardware interface with multi-channel views that show each channel in the context of the mix as a whole.
Take your mix with you
Save everything about your mixer—mix settings, channel assignments, names—to a USB thumb drive for safekeeping or transferring to another unit. It's never been easier for multiple ensembles to share personal mixers or for those on tour to be sure their mix settings are preserved from show to show, even if you're using rental gear.
How it works
Audio is taken from your existing console and distributed to the personal mixers using standard Cat-5e cables. Set-up and configuration is all plug-and-play easy, and you don't need to worry about managed network switches, IP addresses, or latency accumulation.
