Using the AW1600 with external devices
As an alternative to using the internal effects, you can use an external effect processor con-
nected to the STEREO/AUX OUT jacks. As an example, here’s how you can use AUX bus 1 to
apply a mono-in stereo-out reverb to the track channels during mixdown.
1Lower the [STEREO] fader to the – ∞ posi-
tion.
2In the Selected Channel section, repeatedly
press the [PAN/BAL] knob or hold down the
[PAN/BAL] knob and use the CURSOR [ ]/
[] keys to access the AUX OUT page of
the PAN screen.
In this page you can select one of the following as the
signal that will be output from the STEREO/AUX
OUT jacks.
• STEREO.....................Stereo bus (default)
•AUX 1/2.......................AUX bus 1/2
3Move the cursor to the AUX 1/2 button and
press the [ENTER] key.
The AUX bus 1 signal will be output from the L chan-
nel of the STEREO/AUX OUT jacks, and the AUX
bus 2 signal will be output from the R channel of the
STEREO/AUX OUT jacks.
4As shown in the following diagram, connect
your external effect processor to the
AW1600.
5Press the [PAN/BAL] knob twice to access
the AUX page of the PAN screen.

setting in the upper line as desired.
With the settings so far, the signal from the track chan-
nel will be sent from AUX bus 1 via the STEREO/
AUX OUT jack to the external effect processor.
7Use the Quick Navigate section [RECORD]
key to access the MIXDOWN page of the
RECORD screen, and make the settings
shown below.
With these settings, the unprocessed sound of track
channels 1–16 and the effect sound returned to input
channels 3/4 will be sent to the stereo bus and mixed.
You can monitor these signals via the MONITOR
OUT jacks.
