Features of the 168RC
The SoundLink DRS 168RC Recording Console is a 16-channel 8-bus fully digital mixing console
with two adat optical digital interfaces and eight analog inputs.
High performance functions and specifications
The 168RC uses a MSP (Music Synthesis Processor) LSI and HSAB (High Speed Audio Bus) archi
tecture to allow digital processing at a maximum of 24 bit internal precision and 73 MIPS (total
MSP). Data of a large number of channels can be processed and controlled simultaneously, and
the sound quality has taken a revolutionary step upward.
A mixing console with the flexibility of 24 inputs, 16 channels, and 8 buses
Two pairs of adat optical interface I/O are provided, in addition to analog I/O, analog master out,
and S/P DIF format digital master out, making a total (digital and analog) of 26 inputs and 26
outputs. Of these, the 24 inputs other than TAPE IN can be freely assigned to channels 1~16. The
16 assigned channels can then be sent to the 8 buses.
Professional-quality channel functions
All channels provide input select, level metering, 3-band parametric EQ (channels 1~I2 only),
AUX send 1/2, effect send 1/2, phase, pan, mute, solo, and output bus assign. 30 settings of the
parametric EQ can be stored in internal memory.
Two fully digital effect systems with 32 effect types
Two digital effect units are built in, providing 32 types of effect including reverb, chorus, delay,
limiter, and overdrive. For each mixing scene, settings can be made independently for effects 1
and 2. 50 effect settings can be stored in internal memory.
Simple and intuitive editing for efficient mixing
For Input Assign, Send (Aux and Eff), and Pan, you can select whether each of these parameters
will be displayed for a single channel, or whether the specified parameter will be displayed for all
channels.

The cycle [c] key function is a convenient way to toggle between any two display pages of the
mixer, which streamlines editing.
While viewing these displays, you can simultaneously use the eight knobs located below the LCD
to control the corresponding function.
