Introducing the AW1600
This chapter describes the features of the AW1600, the name of each part
and its function, and introduces terminology you need to know when using
the AW1600.
The AW1600 is an audio workstation that combines a digital mixer, multi-effect processor, hard
disk recorder, sampler, and CD-RW drive.
The following diagram shows the signal flow within the AW1600.
Now let’s take a more detailed look at each section of the AW1600.
● Full-fledged mixer with 36 input channels
The AW1600 contains a digital mixer with a total of 36
input channels, including analog inputs x 8, stereo digital
input x 1, recorder tracks x 16, and effect returns x 2.
Audio quality is guaranteed by 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit
internal processing. A Hi-Z input jack for directly con-
necting an electric guitar or bass is also provided.
● Totally redesigned operation
The AW1600 is designed to be operated directly by the
musician (guitarist, vocalist, drummer etc.). With a mini-
mum number of steps, you can assign input signals to
tracks, switch the monitor signal, and record with effects,
EQ, and dynamics processing applied.
● Four-band EQ and dynamics processors on
each channel
Four-band full-parametric EQ and dynamics processing is
provided on virtually every channel. You can recall the
desired preset from the library, and use the panel knobs
and keys to quickly adjust the settings.
● Two high-quality multi-effect units are
built-in
The two built-in effect units deliver a wide variety of
effects including spatial-type effects such as reverb and
delay, modulation type effects such as chorus and flanger,
and guitar-type effects such as distortion and amp simula-
tion. These effects can be used either via send/return, or
inserted into a desired channel.
