Aviom A640 Personal Mixer

A640 Personal Mixer

Aviom's Personal Mixers are the worldwide industry-standard for personal mixing on stage and in the studio. The A640, Aviom’s new flagship personal mixer, brings an unparalleled level of control, performance, and fidelity to personal mixing that exemplifies Aviom’s core brand sensibilities.

With more mix channels, powerful features, and an intuitive, streamlined user-interface, the A640 helps musicians hear better than ever before. It's compatible with all existing Aviom systems using Dante networking, digital console cards, or analog inputs, and can be used simultaneously with the A360, A320 and/or A-16II Personal Mixers.

Mixing power that's easy to use

The A640 Personal Mixer combines a powerful mix engine with an intuitive user interface that doesn't get in your way while performing. The A640's color hi-res display has three Mix Views showing you all the details about your mix without sacrificing editing simplicity. Switch between them at any time with the dedicated View button.

Channel View provides detail about an individual channel's settings (volume, pan, treble, bass, and effects). The Mix View shows the volume level of every channel in your mix, and the Names View displays each channel by name along with its volume level. Editing is easy, even while you're focused on singing and playing.

You can create custom names for each channel, or sync them to channel names coming from a Dante network when using the D800-Dante A-Net Distributor.

Choose exactly the channels you need

Under the hood, the A640 has all the power you need, so you don't have to make compromises in your mix.

Every user can select exactly the sources they want in their mix—from up to 64 network input sources—so drummers can have lots of drum channels and vocalists can have lots of vocal channels.

The built-in Channel Mapping function makes the A640 Personal Mixer easy to set up and customize to suit your performance needs.

Stereo on every channel

Each channel button on the A640 can hold a stereo source, so every input can be heard in full stereo fidelity without taking up additional space on the mixer. This ensures that every channel sounds its best, improving the fidelity of the overall monitor mix as well, and frees up space for more mix content—without adding more complexity for the musician.

Aviom’s unique stereo pan adds positional information to a stereo signal while preserving its stereo image; and on the A640, placing a stereo signal anywhere in your stereo field is accomplished effortlessly with a single control!

Get to your favorite channel faster

The A640's Favorite channel reserves prime real estate for each performer's most important channel, so you don't have to spend even a beat looking for it.

Simply hold the Favorite button and tap any mix channel to assign your personal favorite. It's super convenient for singers, guitarists, and horn players. In custom layout mode, your favorite channel can have its own unique content.

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 A640 Personal Mixer can change all that.

Designed from top to bottom with in-ear monitors in mind, the A640 gives musicians the controls they need to make their in-ears sound better than ever. To work with wireless in-ear systems, learn more about the Network Mix Back feature.

Make it sound great

The EQ curves for the master tone controls on the A640 were designed specifically for the sonic characteristics of in-ear monitors. The A640's master Bass, Treble, and Enhance™ controls will make your in-ear monitors sound fantastic no matter what kind of music you play.

Add space to your ears

The A640's per-channel reverb control lets you easily restore some of the spaciousness your ears naturally expect.

With high-resolution panning for mono channels and variable pan 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.

Connect with other performers

When you need to communicate with other A640 users, the Intercom feature is the perfect tool. With the press of a button a musical director can make song changes, direct performers, etc., all without the audience hearing it (requires the D800 A-Net Distributor).

You can use the A640's internal mic or one that is connected to the Aviom network. And each performer has control over the Intercom audio's level as part of their personal mix.

Take your mix with you

Save everything about your A640 Personal Mixer—mix settings, presets, channel assignments, names—to a USB thumb drive for backup or transferring settings to another unit. It's never been easier for multiple ensembles to share personal mixers, to recall cue mixes for a recording session, or for those on tour to be sure their mix settings are preserved from show to show, even if you're using rental gear.

Need In-Ears? Get the Bundle!

The A640 Personal Mixer is also available in a bundle with a set of MEE Audio M6 Pro IEMs. These great sounding single-driver earbuds feature a detachable, replaceable cord and come with an assortment of flexible ear tips that reduce outside noise and allow you to easily find the most comfortable fit for your ears. Each set also includes custom-engraved metal faceplates and a protective case.
(Available only in the US)

Feel your mix

Send any combination of channels from your mix to the Mono Mix Out using the dedicated Aux Volume control and XLR connector.

Use the Aux Mix to add a tactile transducer (bass shaker) to your stage setup. Musicians can once again experience the tactile feedback they're used to when using a wedge monitor or guitar/bass speaker cabinet while still enjoying the clarity and convenience of in-ear monitors. Aviom makes it easy with the BOOM System.
