SIGNAL FLOW

• The LR-16 contains 16 separate line-level inputs, which are digitized into 16 discrete audio

streams and sent to the internal stream controller

• The LR-16 contains an internal digital mixer that provides a stereo mix down of the 16

separate incoming audio signals, to a 2-channel stereo mix

• This 2-channel mix is output to both the stereo line output, as well as the stereo phones

output (recorder mode)

• When operating as a USB computer audio interface, the stereo line output/phones output

is sourced from a combination of the internal mixer and 2-chanel DAW return (Windows) or

purely the 2-channel DAW return (OS X).
