D-16 / Feb 2003
CONSOLE FEATURES
Inputs
The D-16 console can accommodate up to fourteen of the twenty two
available inputs in any combination (slots 1-14). Depending on the type of input
signal the slot will handle, it will be for mono microphone (-50dBu nominal),
stereo line analog (+4dBu balanced), or stereo line digital inputs.
The D-16 is designed to handle up to eight analog stereo line level inputs.
Two other stereo line inputs can be used for stereo signals or can be split to
provide four mono mic inputs (two each per stereo line input) instead.
The console can also handle up to eight digital stereo line level inputs, and
has two analog inputs dedicated to use as telephone caller inputs and an
additional analog mono Producer talkback input. Not all inputs are available at
the same time. An input must be selected by a FADER before it is available for
combination into a main output.
Analog Mono Mic Level Inputs
These inputs are used to connect to microphones, which typically put out
signals at relatively low signal strength, and therefore require more amplification
(increase in signal strength) to be properly audible in the output.
Analog Stereo Line Level Inputs
These inputs are typically used to connect to machines, such as tape decks,
cart machines, CD players, etc., that provide analog outputs.
Digital Stereo Line Level Inputs
These inputs are typically used to connect to machines, such as tape decks,
cart machines, CD players, etc., that provide digital outputs.
Producer Talkback Input
This input is provided to allow a line level signal from a remote location to
perform the talkback to Studio function. This input will only be heard in the
Studio output, and cannot be assigned to any fader or to any other monitor.
Sources (not exactly the same as inputs)
The word source is used to describe any audio signal that is used to drive a
particular section of the console. For the 14 FADERS, the source will be one of
the inputs to the console, but in the case of other sections of the console, such as
meters, monitors, and caller feeds, the source may be an input, or it may be one
of the console outputs, or buses.
Note: Mic level inputs can
be wired to the inputs of the
internal mic preamps. You
must then wire the mic
preamp outputs over to the
line level analog inputs you
want to use them with.
