(MONO INPUT CHANNEL CONTINUED)

SOLO Switch

When engaged, the yellow LED illuminates, indicating the input channel is assigned

to the SOLO bus. The SOLO switch activates a logic control switch. Pressing the switch

repeatedly will assign the input channel on or off the SOLO bus. You can use the SOLO

LEVEL control to adjust the overall volume to the SOLO Bus.

1/2 OUTPUT Switch

The 1/2 switches are used to assign the channels to the 1/2 stereo bus. Any channels

that have the 1/2 switch pressed in (the green LED is on) will be heard in the 1/2 out-

puts. In recording applications, you can use 1/2 switches with left and right panning to

assign a channel to either the 1 or 2 bus outputs for sending to an input of a recorder.

You can also mix the 1/2 bus with the LEFT and RIGHT mix bus by using the 1/2 to MIX

switch, located in the master section above the 1 / 2 OUTPUTS faders, allowing you

to subgroup channels. In this mode, you can assign channels to the 1/2 bus and use

the 1/2 OUTPUT faders to sub-mix those channels. More information on the1/2 to MIX

switch can be found later in this manual.

3/4 OUTPUT Switch

The 3/4 switches are used to assign the channels to the 3/4 stereo bus. Any channels

that have the 3/4 switch pressed in (the red LED is on) will be heard in the 3/4 outputs.

In recording applications, you can use 3/4 switches with left and right panning to

assign a channel to either the 3 or 4 bus outputs for sending to an input of a recorder.

You can also mix the 3/4 bus with the LEFT and RIGHT mix bus by using the 3/4 to MIX

switch, located in the master section above the 3 /4 OUTPUTS faders, allowing you to

subgroup channels. In this mode, you can assign channels to the 3/4 bus and use the

3/4 OUTPUT faders to sub-mix those channels. More information on the 3/4 to MIX

switch can be found later in this manual.

FADER

The MDR16's 60mm input FADER controls the overall channel level. The input FADER

features an audio taper and no detents for smooth fades.

STEREO - DUAL/MONO INPUT CHANNEL SECTION

The MDR16's input channels nine through sixteen are STEREO or DUAL

MONO. These channels can be used for stereo inputs, or, since they have

separate faders for left and right, they can be used as dual mono inputs.

The equalizers and auxiliary are set up vertically as shown in the follow-

ing diagram.

The following section details each part of the MDR16's STEREO/DUAL

MONO INPUT CHANNELS including the 2-BAND EQ, AUX sends, PAN and

LEVEL controls. The input channels nine through sixteen on the MDR16

feature high quality, discrete transistor pre-amp providing transparency

and extended dynamic range. These inputs feature a "combie" (combina-

tion) connector which can accept a standard XLR mic cable for micro-

phone level signals, or a standard 1/4" phone cable, either balanced (TRS

– TIP/ RING/SLEEVE) or unbalanced (TS – TIP/SLEEVE) for line level signals.
