The D-160 is a 16-track recorder, equipped with analog INPUTs 1-8 and OUTPUTs 1-16. Refer to the following diagram to connect the D-160 to an external mixing console or multitrack recording.

The optimum mixing console for the D-160 would be equipped with 16 TAPE IN connectors and 8 BUSS OUT connectors (or GROUP OUT connectors), although you can also use a mixer with 16 TAPE IN connectors and 4 BUSS OUT connectors. Refer to the following examples depending on the type of your mixer.
