Model LR16 [Mixer functions] Mixer functions 33
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] Mixer basics Signal flow of the mixer 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.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] Connecting sources : When you turn on the phantom power, make sure that the [TRIM] controls on the corresponding mixer channels are set fully left (minimum) or the LR16 is powered off. • Connecting sources to the input connectors Each of mixer channels 1 through 16 provides a combo type -- a combined XLR connector and phone jack in one. You can connect a microphone to the XLR connector or connect a line signal to the phone jack.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] Equalizer To adjust the gain while monitoring an input signal, connect headphones to the [PHONES] jack (or connect a powered monitor speaker to the [MONITOR OUT] jacks) and rotate the [PHONES] control (or [MONITOR] control) little to the right from the leftmost position. In this condition, perform the following. You can tailor the sound using the channel equalizer. For best results, the equalizer should be used to make the sound natural.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] EQ HIGH Using an external effect processor The EQ HIGH is a shelving type EQ which provides up to 18 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. You can emphasize a cymbal or sharpen a vocal, keyboard or guitar by boosting the EQ HIGH. You can soften the high frequency sound by cutting the EQ HIGH.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] • Using Insert Using the internal effects processor The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post send, is used for connecting to an external processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can apply effects to a single channel signal. The LR16 features the internal effects (reverb/ delay) processor, which allows applying effects to the mixer channel signals. The effect send signal of each channel is adjusted by the [EFF] control after the channel fader.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] (4) Adjust the effected (wet) signal level sent to the stereo L/R buss using the control in the [EFFECT TO STEREO] section Monitoring You can monitor the signal using headphones via the [PHONES] jack or using monitor speakers via the [MONITOR L/R] jacks. Adjust the effected signal level while monitoring the stereo buss signal using headphones or monitor speakers.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] • Solo monitor Channel grouping By setting the [SOLO] switch(es) to ON ( ), you can solo monitor the corresponding channel signal(s). If at least one of the [SOLO] switches is set to ON, the [SOLO] indicator slowly flashes. You can group channels to group busses for effective mixing. Using the channel grouping function, you can adjust levels of grouped channels using a single fader while maintaining the balance between channels.
Model LR16 [Mixer functions] (1) Using SUB IN Set the [SOURCE] switches on channels 15 and 16 to "TRK" ( ). The input signals from the [SUB IN] jacks are selected as the sources of channels 15 and 16. You can connect a stereo audio source such as a CD player, MD player, etc., to the [SUB IN (L, R)] jacks and output it directly from the control unit. Therefore, you can connect a BGM source and play it back during a break in the show, etc.
