Introducing the AW16G
This chapter describes the features of the AW16G, the name of each
part and its function, and introduces terminology you need to know
when using the AW16G.
Features of the AW16G
The AW16G is an audio workstation that combines a dig-
ital mixer, multi-effect processor, hard disk recorder,
sampler, and CD-RW drive.
The following diagram shows the signal flow within the
AW16G.
Now let’s take a more detailed look at each section of the
AW16G.
■ Mixer section
● Full-fledged mixer with 36 input channels
The AW16G contains a digital mixer with a total of
36 input channels, including analog inputs x 8, ste-
reo 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 connecting an electric guitar or bass is
also provided.
● Totally redesigned operation
The AW16G is designed to be operated directly by
the musician (guitarist, vocalist, drummer etc.). With
a minimum number of steps, you can assign input
signals to tracks, switch the monitor signal, and
record with effects, EQ, and dynamics processing
applied.
