This relatively young company was launching the new version of its popular A-16 personal mixer, which enables the performer to create a custom monitor mix tailored to his or her personal needs. The monitor enables control over channel volume, grouping, pan, stereo spread and master volume and can create a unique monitor mix for any individual performer.

Up to 16 personal mixes can be saved and recalled as presets and it can be used to drive either floor wedge monitors, in-ear monitors, headphones or spot monitors. Further recent developments have resulted in the Aviom16/o-Y1 output card for the Yamaha digital console. This is a mini-YGDAI format card that fits into an expansion slot in Yamaha digital consoles. It allows the FOH engineer to assign and send 16 mono or eight stereo channels of audio in the digital domain to each performer on stage or in the studio directly from the console control surface. The development of the card has been lightning quick: Aviom began speaking with Yamaha just after Christmas, concluded the project in March and should be shipping by May.
