They cover information that is absolutely critical or is unique to the CR-1604. But it’s still a good idea to read the whole manual through at some point. We worked and slaved to make this manual readable, understandable and informative and it’s bound to have a few nifty nuggets of knowledge you haven’t picked up from the school of hard nox.

In particular, sections marked with A CLOSER LOOK icon include in- depth information...or at least our own opinions.

discerning musicians/recordists who have found in this product the quality and performance that has long been considered unattainable in this class and price range.

Okay, enough stroking. Time to dig in! There are only two things that we ask:

Read this manual. Sounds obvious, but in all the excitement that goes along with the purchase of a new piece of gear the new owner often neglects to become as familiar as they should with the product, and as a result

runs the risk of missing out on many of the cool features and convenience that it can offer.

If this is your first pro-mixer, please flip through the whole book. If you’re a seasoned pro, at least read the sections with “QUICK START” or “VERY IMPORTANT” icons next to them. (However, we’ve found that truly experienced engineers usually read their owner’s manuals cover-to-cover anyway… so they can continue to make those big bucks.)

The following chapters will take you on a guided tour of your new mixer and explain the inner workings of each control, as well as how it relates to the rest of the mixer and your particular application.
