Main features
Features enclosed by [* ] are for the D16XD.
32 [*16]-track digital multi-track recorder
The D32XD/D16XD provides studio-quality sound with 64-bit internal
processing, 24/16-bit recording and playback, and 96 kHz/48 kHz/44.1 kHz
uncompressed recording.

Each track (including the master track) has eight virtual tracks, allowing you
to use a total of 256 [*128] + 16 tracks for each song.
1 The number of simultaneously recordable tracks will be different when you use punch
recording.
XLR input jacks with +48V phantom power, analog inputs, dedicated gui-
tar input jack, and digital connectors
To maximize the benefit of the D32XD/D16XD’s full-digital processing, all of
the analog inputs use high-performance balanced pre amps.
The eight +48V phantom-powered XLR input jacks contain high-performance
mic preamps. Each of the phantom power supplies can be switched on/off
individually, so you are free to mix condenser mics and dynamic mics.
All phone jack inputs (except for the guitar input jack) are the TRS balanced
type. Unbalanced inputs may also be connected to these jacks. A wide range
of audio sources can be connected, ranging from mic level all the way up to
+26 dBu, exceeding normal professional levels. A dedicated guitar input jack
is also provided.
The S/P DIF digital input supports sampling frequencies of 96 kHz/48 kHz/
44.1 kHz, and 24- and 16-bit depths.
8-channel analog input board (AIB-8: optional) provides a total of
sixteen analog inputs
Using the optional AIB-8, you can add eight more analog inputs, for a total of
sixteen. Balanced TRS jacks are provided, and unbalanced inputs may also be
connected to these jacks.
8-channels of analog compression provided for the analog input section
Analog compressors allow you to apply dynamics processing to adjust the
level of the analog signal before it is converted into digital data. This provides
the distinctive character of analog compression that cannot be duplicated by a
digital compressor, and can prevent clipping before A/D conversion.
An analog compressor board (ACB-8: optional) can also be installed on the 8-
channel analog input board (AIB-8: optional). If the AIB-8 and ACB-8 are both
installed, you can assign analog compressors to all sixteen analog inputs.
Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 16 tracks/32 [*16] tracks
Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 8 tracks/16 tracks
Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 4 tracks/8 tracks
