into this, for example

When you adjust the Pan control with a stereo-linked Channel selected, the Pan LEDs show the width of the stereo spread that is currently set. Multiple LEDs light to indicate the compression of the image from full stereo to mono (a single green LED in the center of the display).

Solo Modes

The A-16R provides two methods for hearing a channel in solo mode. The first method works on one channel at a time. Pressing any other button on the interface release the channel from solo mode and returns you to the mix you are working with. The Held Solo mode keeps the A-16R in Solo mode so that any number of channels can be auditioned in succession.

Note: Solo mode will temporarily override a mute. This guarantees that you will always hear the Channels you solo. When you exit Solo mode, the Channels are returned to their previous state.

Single-Channel Solo

To listen to the Channel you’re editing without hearing the rest of the current mix, press the SOLO button. Make any necessary changes to the Channel. When finished, press the SOLO button again or select any other Channel. Both methods will automatically exit Solo Mode and return you to your current mix.

Held Solo Mode

The second Solo mode allows Channels to be soloed in succession without exiting the Solo Mode. This is in addition to the standard Solo Mode behavior that allows the user to exit Solo Mode by pressing any other interface button after soloing a Channel. Held Solo Mode is indicated by the flashing of the Solo LED.

To use Held Solo Mode, you must start from Mix Mode (that is, no Channels are currently soloed). The Recall, Group, and Solo LED’s should be off.
