Description of Signal Flow
Input
A signal input to the ANALOG INPUT channels 1 to 16 passes through the gain switches (HIGH,
MID, LOW) and the GAIN controls. The signal is then converted to digital. Alternatively, pressing
the DIGI key will select DIGITAL INPUT for channels 1 to 8 from the optional Digital Audio Interface
(eg. ADAT or AES/EBU).
After digital conversion, the signal goes to the INPUT SELECT switches and then to the hard disk
for recording.
At the INPUT SELECT switches, input channels 1 to 8 usually correspond to hard disk tracks 1 to
8 and tracks 9 to 16. However, you can assign any input channel to any hard disk track. You can
also select the BUS L and BUS R signals as inputs or the built-in stereo AES or S/PDIF inputs, DIN
L and DIN R.
Press the appropriate TRACK REC keys to record data to the hard disk tracks. For Analog inputs,
you need to set the recording levels with the GAIN controls. Then press the Play and REC keys to
record.
Output
On playback, the signal from the hard disk tracks passes through the CHANNEL ON keys 1 to 16
and into the TRACK MIX section of the mixer. In addition, the signal is sent to the individual
ANALOG OUTPUT channels 1 to 16. Unlike the inputs, these output channels are fixed to the
corresponding hard disk tracks.
TRACK MIX
In the TRACK MIX section, the signal passes through the equalizer (if the optional digital EQ board
is installed), channel level, pan, and effects send. It is then sent to the MASTER LEVEL where it is
output in digital through the DIGITAL I/O - MASTER OUT or converted to analog and then to the
MASTER L/R or PHONES outputs. The signal is also sent to the SEND and BUS channels. On the
SEND channels, it is converted to analog and sent to the SEND 1/L-2/R outputs. It only appears
on the BUS channels if the BUS ON switch is selected.
Using the BUS channels allows you to carry out a digital bounce-down recording (ping-pong)
inside the DR16pro with very little deterioration in tonal quality.
