Inside your S-16 the audio signal is monitored in several different stages and then sent to the PEAK Led. When this
Led blinks, it warns you that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion. The PEAK Led will blink with
a level that is 6dB before actual clipping.

Insert points are provided for the Mono Mic Chann-
els. When you insert a jack in the insert socket, the
signal will be taken out after the Input Gain Control

pressor-limiter, and returned into the channel strip
immediately before the EQ section. Of course, the
jacks used must be stereo (Tip Send/Ring Return).
