Model LM16 [Mixer basics]
• Using Insert
The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post send, is used for connecting to an external processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can ap- ply effects to a single channel signal.
The LM16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter, equalizer, etc.
[INSERT] jack
By connecting an external effect processor to the [INSERT] jack, you can send the channel signal to the processor and receive the pro- cessed signal.

The [INSERT] jack on the LM16 is the TRS- type unbalanced phone jack. You can make bidirectional connection with the effect pro- cessor using a "Y" cable as shown below.

*The sleeve is a ground for both signals.
Using the internal effects processor
The LM16 features the internal effects (re- verb/delay) processor, which allows apply- ing effects to the mixer channel signals.
The effect send signal of each channel is ad- justed by the [EFF] control after the channel fader. The effected (wet) signal is adjusted using the controls in the [EFFECT TO STE- REO], [EFFECT TO GROUP] and [EFFECT TO AUX] sections and sent to the stereo, group and AUX busses.

(1)Set the [EFFECT] ON/OFF switch to "ON" (
).
(2)Select the desired effect type using the [SELECT] / switch.
The indicator for the selected type is illuminated. (See the next page for details about each effect type.)
(3)Adjust the effect send level of the channel signal using the [EFF] control on each mixer channel.
Note that the effect send level is affected by the channel fader.
