Sure you can. If you use an Aviom input module (the AN-16i), the connection will be very simple. Connect the Elite Core IM-16 input module to your mixing console using insert points, direct outs, aux sends, or any combination of outputs. Then, use the convenient through/output connectors on the IM-16 to feed the same signals to the Aviom AN-16i using TRS-TRS patch cables. Then connect the Aviom mixers to A-Net out of the AN-16i input module, and connect the Elite Core PM-16 mixers to the Elite Core IM-16 using a DM-8 distributor. Keep in mind that even though the connectors and cabling are the same (RJ45 connectors on Cat5E cables), the wiring protocols are very different, and they are not interchangeable. Keep Aviom connected to Aviom and keep Elite Core connected to Elite Core. It's as simple as letting the two input modules share the same feeds from the console. Another way to connect the Elite Core system to an existing Aviom system is to use an Aviom AN-16o output module. Connect the AN-16o to A-Net anywhere you want it to be located. Using TRS-TRS cables, connect the outputs from the AN-16o to the inputs of the Elite Core IM-16. Then use the DM-8 to distribute the audio and power for your PM-16 mixers. It's a simple and elegant way to add PM-16s to an existing Aviom system.

Yes, the MY8-DA96 is a perfect match for connecting with the Elite Core IM-16. It provides 8 balanced outputs through a single DB-25 connector. Two of them can be used to provide a full 16 channels of output through the cards, or use one of them in conjunction with eight more omni outputs using aux sends or subgroups to achieve the perfect balance of direct channels plus mixed channels in the PM-16 system.

Yes! The PM-16 and IM-16 are both designed by Pivitec and built at our factory in McKinney, Texas! We're proud of the fact that we provide jobs to dozens of folks right here on our home soil. The DM-8 is imported from China.
Yes, they're real Neutrik connectors. They are the series that Neutrik brands as "Yongsheng" or "NYS" or "YS" and they are made in the Neutrik factory in Ningbo, China. You can see more about Neutrik's worldwide offices at this link: http://www.neutrik.com/en/neutrik-group.
Absolutely. There are two Ethercon/RJ45 jacks on the back of the PM-16. They're labeled "in" and "out". Simply connect an RJ45 or Ethercon connector to the "in" to supply signal and power to the first PM-16. Then, connect another one to the "out" to provide signal to the daisy-chained mixer. Power for the second mixer won't pass through, so you'll need to use a local power supply for it, and each additional mixer down the line. The Elite Core PM-16PS is the power supply you'll need, and it's readily available as an accessory for your PM-16.
The master graphic EQ sliders on the PM-16 personal mixer have been set to achieve a pure, clean, musical tonality. They are set at the following frequencies:
Low Shelf - 100Hz
Mid PEQ 2.5kHz 1 Octave
High Shelf - 8Khz
It's really easy to interface our system with the PreSonus board. Our IM-16 input module has 16 analog line level balanced TRS inputs. So, simply connect the direct outs from the PreSonus via the DB25 connectors and you're all set. Additionally, you can use one of the many aux sends available. A combination of direct outs and aux sends is usually what serves most needs.
- Step one is to interface your mixer with our IM-16 with a DB25 cable
- Step two is to run a single CAT5 cable to the stage
- Step three is to install a DM-8 powered distributor on the stage
- Step four is to place your PM-16s where you need them and connect to the DM-8
