Model LR16 [Mixer functions]
Signal flow of the mixer
Mixer basics
A mixer accepts audio signals and modifies them, then mixes them.
The following diagram shows how the input signals flow through the mixer section of the LR16.
As the diagram indicates, an analog signal from the [INPUT] connector is level-adjusted by the
[TRIM] control and converted to digital, then sent to the channel fader via the EQ. After the
channel fader, the pan control adjusts the left and right (or odd and even) balance of signal sent
to stereo left and right busses (or odd and even group busses). Then the stereo signal is finally
level-adjusted by the [STEREO] fader and output from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)] connectors.
A buss sums signals and mixes them. In the diagram below, busses are shown as pipes.
The LR16 provides the following eleven busses: stereo busses (L, R), group busses (1, 2, 3, 4), AUX
busses (1, 2, 3), effect buss and solo buss. Each buss sums signals. The mixed signal may be D/A
converted and fed to an external device, or directly fed to the internal effects.
The LR16 is equipped with a hard disk drive for recording and playback. You can perform up to
16 track multitrack recording as well as stereo mix recording. (You can perform multitrack and
stereo recording simultaneously.)
