(1) [INPUT (1 through 16)] connectors

Each connector accepts a mic or line level analog audio signal. The connector is a combo type - a combined XLR connector and phone jack in one. You can connect a microphone to the XLR connector or connect a line signal to the phone jack. (Note that you cannot use the XLR receptacle and phone jack on a same combo connector simultaneously.)

(2) [INSERT (1 through 8)] jacks

Each jack is used for connecting an external effects processor such as a compressor/limiter. To connect an external effects processor, use a Y-cable as shown below.

(5) [PHANTOM (1-8, 9-16)] switches

You can supply phantom power to the XLR INPUT connectors in eight channel groups (1-8 and 9-16) using these switches.

When the [PHANTOM] switch is set to ON, the corresponding [PHANTOM] indicator on the control panel is illuminated.

(6) [PANEL LOCK (ON/OFF)] switch

You can disable the recorder operation from the panel by setting this switch to "LOCK".

In this condition, the lock icon is shown on the display. You can switch the panel lock setting even during recording.

(7) [CONTROLLER] connector

Used to connect to the [TO CONTROLLER] connector on the rear panel of the control unit using the supplied (or a different) CAT-5 cable.

(3) [AC IN] connector

Used to connect the supplied power cord.

<Note>: Use only the supplied power cord. A different power cord may cause fire, etc. Also note that when you hear thunder rum- bling, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

(4) [POWER] switch

Turns on or off the LR16.

<Note>: Do not turn off the LR16 while ac- cessing the internal hard disk. Doing so may destroy data. Even if you turn off the LR16, it consumes a very small amount of power. Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet if you do not use the LR16 for a long time.

(8) [FOOT SW] jack

Used to connect to a footswitch for performing punch in/out or memory play start.

You can set the footswitch function via the "Foot SW" menu item in the "System" menu of the MENU mode.

(9) [AUX SEND (1, 2, 3)] jacks

Each of these unbalanced phone jacks outputs the corresponding AUX SEND buss signal at -2dBu nominal level. You can connect to a stage monitor, effects processor, etc.

(10) [MIDI OUT] port

Used to connect to the MIDI IN port of an external MIDI device.

From this port, MTC (MIDI Time Code) is output. The MTC frame rate can be set using the "Default frame" menu item in the "System" menu of the MENU mode.
