The M-16DX is a two-piece system consisting of the
Mix controller (control desk) you use for mixing, and
the I/O module (connector box) to which you connect
your mics, instruments, and recording equipment.
The compact I/O module can be mounted in a 1U
rack space, allowing you to keep the cables together
to maintain an uncluttered space around your mixer,
providing you the freedom to work even if space is
limited.
The front panel of the I/O module provides
frequently-used connectors such as XLR mic jacks and
Hi-Z jacks for guitar/bass, making it easy to change
your system as appropriate for the song or situation.
A headphone jack and an input jack for portable
audio devices are provided on the Mix controller. The
entire system is designed with working efficiently in
mind. Since the power supply is provided from the
I/O module, you can be free to mix from any physical
position without being concerned with wiring.
A completely new concept,
separating I/O from controls
Full-digital 24-bit 96 kHz processing far exceeds CD
quality. The much greater bit depth and sampling
rate mean that you can apply effect processing and
adjust the balance without impairing the quality of
the input sound or introducing noise. The sound is
the professional quality you expect from a digital
mixer with DSP.
Tighten up the sound, give it more power, make it
sound great—whatever you need to do, the dedicated
built-in effects are there to help. Operation is simple,
but provides tremendous sound-creating freedom.
High-quality built-in effect processors
to enhance your sound
Mixer settings—including effect settings—can be
stored as one of eight “scenes.” These scenes can be
instantly recalled at any time for different songs or
production styles.
Insert effects
These are COSM
technology powered
effects dedicated
specifically to vocals and
narration, and can be
applied to Channels 1 and
2. Five types are provided,
including the “POWER
COMP” that simulates the
character of vacuum tubes
to make your vocals more
richly expressive, and
the “VOCAL ENHANCER”
that gives your voice
brightness and presence.
And even through the
effects are aimed at vocal
production you can try
them on any mic music–
you will be amazed at the
sounds produced.
FX (Echo/Reverb)
This effect simulates the acoustic
ambience of a real-world room or
concert hall. Five types of reverb and
two types of echo are provided. You can
use each channel’s AUX2/FX knob to
adjust the depth of the effect, and the
settings are remembered even when
the power is turned off.
Finalize
This effect is applied to the final two-
channel stereo mix in order to add the
finishing touches to your sound. You
can process the sound by boosting
the overall loudness and/or making its
dynamic variations and sonic character
more consistent.
* When connected via USB, the Finalize
effect is not available when the
system is operating at the 96 kHz
sampling frequency.
The convenient Scene Memory func-
tion, available only on digital mixers
The I/O module provides a USB 2.0 connector.
Simply use a USB cable to connect this to
your computer, and audio signals from your
computer can be processed by the M-16DX’s
internal effects, or the sound mixed by the
M-16DX can be sent to your computer for
recording.
The M-16DX is bundled with the Cakewalk
SONAR LE music production DAW software,
so you can immediately start integrating
your computer into your song production,
recording, and live performances.
Example 1:
Using the M-16DX as a
Multi-Channel Audio
Interface
The M-16DX’s 16 channels +
two-channel master mix—a
total of 18 channels—can
be brought into your DAW
software as independent
tracks. You can use the M-
16DX as a multi-channel
audio interface that
supports both Windows and
Macintosh systems.
Example 2:
Mix Sounds from Your
DAW Software with a
Live Performance
Backing tracks you created
on your DAW software can
be sent to the M-16DX via
USB, and mixed with the live
performance of your band.
The final-mixed sound from
the main output can then
be recorded directly into
your DAW software as a live
recording.
24-bit 96 kHz support for mixes of
astounding realism
Expand the potential of your mixer by linking with your computer
