GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MDR16 is a sixteen-channel mixer, with sixteen low
noise microphone pre-amps, four output buses and a built-
in 24 BIT, DSP effects processor. The MDR16 features
eight mono Mic/Line input channel strips with a three-band,
mid-sweep equalizer plus a low cut filter. These channels
also offer two auxiliary sends that can be used for creating
a monitor mix and for routing your signals to effects
processors. The mono channels also feature a pan control for
creating a stereo image, bus output assign switches, insert
points for external processing and a 60mm fader for setting
the level. In addition to the mono inputs, there are eight
channels set up as Stereo/Dual mono inputs with two-band
equalizer, switchable aux send, pan, a utility mic input and
60mm faders. The MDR16's master section includes two
FRONT PANEL
stereo auxiliary returns for mixing back external and internal
effects and individual controls for mixing back the DSP effect
to BUS 1 & 2, BUS 3 & 4 and even to AUX 1 to add effects
