Overview
The presenter mixer system allows for easy audio level adjustments for on-air presenters and Sound Control Room operators. It includes 8 virtual mixer select buttons, 4 rotary encoders for input level metering and output volume control, GPO enable and activation buttons, 1Gb PoE Ethernet and power using Neutrik Ethercon, status LEDs and an OLED display, 10 GPIO ports, and can be configured via a webserver. The system uses mono audio and allows for control through webpages or 3rd party applications.
The AVN-MPTR Technician Remote Unit is used by technicians to control a Virtual Mixer, while the MPTRs are assigned to a gallery and tied to a Mix Engine. The Virtual Mixer to be controlled is selected using the 8 virtual mixer buttons on the front panel, and the rotary encoders work the same as on the Presenter Unit. The AVN-MPTR can also stop MPPRs from controlling source levels for a specific VM. The system is connected through a Ravenna Audio over IP network and can utilize audio sources from Ravenna based mixers or input portals.

About the Sonifex AVN-MPTR Technician Controller
The presenter mixer system allows on-air presenters to adjust the audio levels fed to their radio or wired IEM systems, whilst also allowing Sound Control Room operators to adjust the levels remotely. The system consists of 3 types of unit all connected on a common Ravenna Audio over IP (AoIP) network with added audio sources derived from Ravenna based AoIP mixers or input portals. Setup and control can be provided via webpages and/or 3rd party applications. The system uses mono audio throughout.
The AVN-MPTR Technician Remote Unit allows a technician to have control of a Virtual Mixer, paralleling the Presenter Remote Unit controls.
The MPTRs are assigned to a gallery and hence are normally tied to a Mix Engine. Note that no audio is present on the Technician’s Remote Unit – the monitor audio for this is provided by an output on the Mix Engine routed to the technician’s area, but this product has similar connectivity to the MPPR and we can supply audio enabled versions of the MPTR if required.
The Virtual Mixer (VM) to be controlled is selectable using the Virtual Mixer buttons labelled Pres 1 – Pres 8 on the front panel. The mixer selection buttons are only active when the AVN-MPTR is grabbed by a mix engine (as indicated by a green Auth LED). When a VM is selected, the corresponding button will be illuminated green (or blue if MPPR lock out is set for that VM). If no VM is selected, then all the mixer select button LEDs will be off. Once a VM has been selected, the rotary encoders act in the same way as on the Presenter Unit.
The AVN-MPTR is able stop MPPRs that are assigned to a particular VM from controlling the source levels.
