Model LR16 [Mixer functions]

• 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 LR16 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 LR16 is the TRS- type unbalanced phone jack. You can make bidirectional connection with the effect pro- cessor using a "Y" cable as shown below.

Using the internal effects processor

The LR16 features the internal effects (reverb/ delay) processor, which allows applying ef- fects 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.

(2)Select the desired effect type using the [SELECT UP/DOWN] 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.
