Chapter 1: Overview of the DPS16
4 The master level of the stereo mix signal is adjusted by the master fader on the top panel. This signal
is output from the MASTER OUT jacks (analog) and the DIGITAL OUT jack (digital).
You can also send the input signals at the INPUT jacks directly to the mixer section, instead of sending them to
the tracks. The following diagram shows a typical signal flow when the INPUT MIX channels are used.
1 You can route each input signal to the mixer section (INPUT MIX channels) or to the recorder
section (TRACK MIX channels) individually. In this example, all input signals are sent to the INPUT
MIX channels. (This routing is done in Quick Patch mode. Refer to page 54 for more information.)
2 You can also set the mix-related parameters, such as the level, pan, channel on/off, EQ, and AUX
send 1–4, for the signals sent to the INPUT MIX channels, similar to the signals sent to the TRACK
MIX channels. You cannot control the level and pan of the INPUT MIX channels from the top panel.
