Aviom, manufacturer of industry-standard personal monitoring solutions for over twenty years is pleased to announce that it has just started worldwide delivery of its new flagship A640 Personal Mixer.
According to Carl Bader, Aviom’s Co-Founder and CEO, “We’re excited to ship the A640! After several redesigns and delays caused by the global semiconductor shortage, it’s great to finally get these mixers into our users’ hands. As a small independent manufacturer, designing and building products in the US, we are working tirelessly to increase production quantities and shorten product delivery times to minimize the impact of global supply chain issues on our customers. Shipping the A640 is a major milestone towards this goal.”
As the next-generation flagship model of Aviom’s personal mixer product line, the A640 brings new levels of user control and customization, a streamlined interface, and new features that provide flexible options to performers both on stage and in the recording studio. It’s powered by Aviom’s award winning, high speed, low latency A-Net® digital audio transport protocol, the world’s only protocol that is purpose-built for personal monitoring applications.
The A640 Personal Mixer fits seamlessly into audio environments using Dante-based audio networks, analog consoles, and digital mixers. It is also compatible with all Aviom personal mixing products, allowing easy updates and expansions to existing systems.
One of the most striking new additions to the simplified user interface is the color display that allows the performer to experience personal monitoring in new ways. “Our goal is to make it easy for the performer to get a fantastic mix, without turning them into a mix engineer” says Ray Legnini, Aviom’s Product Research and Development Manager. “A well-designed personal monitor mixer makes it easier for someone who is playing an instrument, singing, and interacting with other performers, to do their job without distractions” he adds.
Always listening to customer input, Aviom has added the most requested features to the new A640 Personal Mixer. The new Channel Mapping feature lets users easily create a custom channel layout for each A640 using any of the 64 network input sources. An Aux Mix allows any combination of channels from the main stereo mix to be sent to the secondary mono output, so integrating a supplemental tactile transducer system, subwoofer or powered wedge is easy.
The A640 Personal Mixer’s new Intercom feature allows users to communicate with each other over the Aviom network whenever the A640 is used with Aviom’s D800 A-Net Distributor products. With a single button press, a musical director can give instructions or provide feedback to performers using the A640’s built-in mic or an external mic connected to the Aviom network; and other legacy Aviom mixers can listen to the intercom channel too!
“We’re always trying to enhance the performer’s experience while wearing in-ear monitors or headphones,” says Carl Bader. “The A640’s user interface directly addresses that goal. And the mixer sounds wonderful, its DSP filter voicings are optimized for modern monitor environments and designed to engage and excite users, helping them achieve their best performances!”
The A640 Personal Mixer is available now through Aviom’s worldwide distribution network.
With more than 150,000 personal mixers on stages and in studios around the world, Aviom has helped more musicians fix their monitors than any other brand. Aviom personal mixers are designed with the performing and recording musician in mind, with streamlined user interfaces and powerful, practical features.
All Aviom products are designed, manufactured, and supported in the USA. For more information, visit www.Aviom.com.
