Here’s how to make settings for monitoring the sound
from the D16.
Normally, you will monitor the sound by connecting
powered monitor speakers etc. to the [MONITOR OUT
L/R] jacks, or by connecting headphones to the
[PHONES] jack.
Selecting the signal to be monitored
1 Select the signal to be monitored.
Make your selection in the [SOLO/MONITOR]
“Monitor” tab page.
Normally you will select “MasterLR.”
Press the “MasterLR” button to turn it “On
(highlighted).
For details refer to p.84.
If “Solo” is selected, solo will take priority. In
this case, defeat “Solo” before making your
selection.
2 Select the input monitor.
If the “AutoIn” button is “On,” mixer channels
whose [TRACK STATUS] is REC will sound the
playback track during playback, or the external
input during recording (or rehearsal) or when
stopped. Normally you will leave this “On.”
3 Adjust the monitor volume.
Use the [MONITOR OUT LEVEL] knob or the
[PHONES] level knob to adjust the volume level of
the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks or [PHONES]
jack.
Adjusting the cue level
Since the [CHANNEL] faders of the D16 control both
the recording level of each track and the volume level
of each channel, the level being recorded and the vol-
ume level being monitored will be the same.
For this reason, a Cue Level function is provided to
allow you to set the monitor volume without regard to
the recording level, for example in situations where
you wish to hear your own instrument more loudly
while you are playing it. The cue level has no relation
to the recording level. Select this when you wish to
adjust the monitoring volume or pan for comfort while
performing, without affecting the recording level.
1 Select Cue as the signal for monitoring.
In the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Monitor” tab page,
turn “On” the “Cue” button.
If the “Solo” button is “On”, solo will take priority.
Turn “Solo” “Off.”
2 Adjust the cue level.
Press the “Level” button to access the cue level
screen. Press the icons for each channel, and rotate
the [VALUE] dial to adjust the volume and pan.
The values are displayed in the upper left.
When the Solo function is used, only the audio for
which the “Solo” button is turned “On” will be sent to
the monitor bus. Use this function when you wish to
hear only a specific channel out of numerous audio sig-
nals, or when you wish to audition a send signal etc.
The solo audio is output to the [MONITOR OUT L/R]
jacks and the [PHONES] jack.
Selecting the signals to be soloed
1 Select the signals to be soloed, and turn Solo on.
Make your selection in the [SOLO/MONITOR]
“Solo” tab page.
Press one or more “Solo” buttons to turn solo “On
for the desired signals. (Your selection(s) will be
highlighted.) If even one selection is turned “On,
the [SOLO/MONITOR] key will blink. You can
select one or more signals for soloing.
2 Adjust the monitor volume.
Use the [MONITOR OUT LEVEL] knob or
[PHONES LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume.
Turn solo off
Select the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Solo” tab page.
Press the “Solo” buttons that you wish to turn
Off.” If you press the “ClearAll” button, solo will
be turned off for all signals.
Outputting the solo signal from master LR
You can output the solo signal from the [MASTER OUT
L/R] jacks. Use this when you wish to hear the solo sig-
nal from the monitor system that is connected to the
[MASTER OUT L/R] jacks.
In the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Solo” tab page, turn
the “SoloToMstOut” button “On” (highlighted).
This setting is valid only in the [SOLO/MONI-
TOR] page. When you move to another page, it
will automatically be turned “Off.”
