Model LR16 [Names and functions]
22
Control unit (input channel 1 through 16)
(1) [TRIM] control
Adjusts the gain of each input signal. Set this control appropriately
so that the [PEAK] indicator lights at the maximum input level.
By adjusting this control appropriately, the LR16 can accept a signal
within -60dBu and -12dBu for mic input, while it can accept a signal
within -40dBu and +8dBu for line input.

(2) [PEAK] indicator
Lights up when an input channel signal overloads. You should set
the [TRIM] control appropriately so that this indicator does not light
frequently.
(3) [LOW CUT] switch
Switches on ( ) or off ( ) of the low cut filter (high pass filter).
When on, the frequency range below 80 Hz is cut at -12 dB/oct. This
function is performed in the analog stage.
(4) [LIMITER] switch
Switches on ( ) or off ( ) of the limiter function. The limiter
works to prevent signal clipping when the input level exceeds the
certain level. The limiter function is performed in the analog stage.
(5) [SOURCE (INPUT/TRK)] switch
Selects the source signal for each input channel. When the switch is
set to the up position ( ), the signal fed to the [INPUT] connector
is selected. When the switch is set to the down position ( ), the
recorder playback signal is selected. Pressing the switch toggles the
source signal. When selecting the recorder playback signal ( ),
the [TRIM] control is not effective.
(6) [EQ HI/MID/LO] controls
These controls control gain for each EQ band (high, middle, and
low) , as well as the middle frequency.
When you set the gain control at the center position, no boost or cut
is applied.
The following table shows the EQ type, center (or cut-off) frequency
and boost/cut range of each EQ band.
<Note>:
When the [SOURCE] select switch is set to "TRK", the
[TRIM] control is ineffective to the source signal (recorder
track signal or the signal from the [SUB IN] connector).
