(1) [INPUT (1 through 16)] connectors
Each connector accepts a mic or line level
analog audio signal. The connector is 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. (Note that you cannot use the
XLR receptacle and phone jack on a same combo
connector simultaneously.)
(2) [INSERT (1 through 8)] jacks
Each jack is used for connecting an external
effects processor such as a compressor/limiter.
To connect an external effects processor, use a
Y-cable as shown below.
(3) [AC IN] connector
Used to connect the supplied power cord.
(4) [POWER] switch
Turns on or off the LR16.
(5) [PHANTOM (1-8, 9-16)] switches
You can supply phantom power to the XLR
INPUT connectors in eight channel groups (1-8
and 9-16) using these switches.
When the [PHANTOM] switch is set to ON, the
corresponding [PHANTOM] indicator on the
control panel is illuminated.
(6) [PANEL LOCK (ON/OFF)] switch
You can disable the recorder operation from
the panel by setting this switch to "LOCK".
In this condition, the lock icon is shown on the
display. You can switch the panel lock setting
even during recording.
(7) [CONTROLLER] connector
Used to connect to the [TO CONTROLLER]
connector on the rear panel of the control unit
using the supplied (or a different) CAT-5 cable.
(8) [FOOT SW] jack
Used to connect to a footswitch for performing
punch in/out or memory play start.
You can set the footswitch function via the "Foot
SW" menu item in the "System" menu of the
MENU mode.
(9) [AUX SEND (1, 2, 3)] jacks
Each of these unbalanced phone jacks outputs
the corresponding AUX SEND buss signal at
-2dBu nominal level. You can connect to a stage
monitor, effects processor, etc.
(10) [MIDI OUT] port
Used to connect to the MIDI IN port of an
external MIDI device.
From this port, MTC (MIDI Time Code) is
output. The MTC frame rate can be set using
the "Default frame" menu item in the "System"
menu of the MENU mode.
<Note>:
Use only the supplied power cord. A
different power cord may cause fire, etc.
Also note that when you hear thunder rum-
bling, disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
<Note>:
Do not turn off the LR16 while ac-
cessing the internal hard disk. Doing so may
destroy data. Even if you turn off the LR16,
it consumes a very small amount of power.
Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet if you do
not use the LR16 for a long time.
