Model LR 16 [Introduction/O verview] I Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing the Model LR16. The LR16 is a live recording mixer which consists of the control unit which is equipped with a digital mixer and the main unit which is equipped with a recorder and 1/0 connectors. To ensure the best performance, read this manual thoroughly before using the LR16. Keep this manual handy for future reference. About power supply Be sure to connect the LR16 to the power supply specified in the specifications section of this owner’s manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage. Do not connect the LR16 to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected. If you use the LR16 in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station. You can use the LR16 with a power frequency of 50HZ or 60Hz. Itis very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the LR16 immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord. To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the LR16, avoid contact with water or other liquids, or do not handle the power plug while your hands are wet. To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the LR16, do not remove the main unit cover or reach the inside the LR16. Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the LR16 because this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water enter the inside of the LR16, remove the power plug from AC outlet, and consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station. To prevent damage to the LR16, be sure to power on the connected devices first, then turn on the power to the LR16. When you remove or connect the cables to the input/output connectors on the LR16, make sure that the channel and master faders and volume controls are set “æ”. Do not install the unit in the following conditions. In an extremely hot or cold place In a moist place In a vibrated place In a dusty place In a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a magnetic field

• In the direct sunshine

Model LR 16 [Names and functions]

A mixer accepts audio signals and modifies them, then mixes them. nal flow of the mixer The following diagram shows how the input signals flow through the mixer section of the LR16. As the diagram indicates, an analog signal from the [INPUT] connector is level-adjusted by the [TRIM] control and converted to digital, then sent to the channel fader via the EQ, After the channel fader, the pan control adjusts the left and right (or odd and even) balance of signal sent to stereo left and right busses (or odd and even group busses). Then the stereo signal is finally level-adjusted by the [STEREO] fader and output from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)] connectors. A buss sums signals and mixes them. In the diagram below, busses are shown as pipes. The LR16 provides the following eleven busses: stereo busses (L, R), group busses (1, 2, 3, 4), AUX busses (1, 2, 3), effect buss and solo buss. Each buss sums signals. The mixed signal may be D/A converted and fed to an external device, or directly fed to the internal effects. The LR16 is equipped with a hard disk drive for recording and playback. You can perform up to 16 track multitrack recording as well as stereo mix recording. (You can perform multitrack and stereo recording simultaneously.) Lowcur ue aug au au sao ourrur uen umreR A æ a 0-0 > Ciruones MONITOR PONS u DE MouToR —Q—C— va aux sEND 1

Connecting sources *Connecting sources to the inputconnectors Each of mixer channels 1 through 16 provides a combo type -- a combined XLR connector and phone jack in one. You can connect a microphone to the XLR connector or connect a line signal to the phone jack. (The phone jack can accept both balanced and unbal- anced signals.) You can adjust the input gain using the [TRIM] control on each mixer channel strip. *Phantom power supply setting 48 V phantom power can be supplied to the XLR input connectors. For most of condenser microphones, the phantom power is required. You can turn on or off phantom power using the [PHANTOM] switches in eight channel groups (1-8 and 9-16) using these switches. uen) <Memo>: When the [PHANTOM] switch is set to ON, the corresponding [PHANTOM!] indi- cator on the control panel is illuminated. PHANTOM <Note>: When you turn off phantom power, the indicator is not immediately turned off, however, phantom power is immediately turned off. Model LR 16 [Mixer functions] <Note>: When you turn on the phantom power, make sure that the [TRIM] controls on the corresponding mixer channels are set fully left (minimum) or the LR16 is powered off. Usually phantom power does not damage a dynamic microphone, however, do not con- nect an old ribbon microphone to an input connector to which phantom power is sup- plied. +Selecting channel source Setting the [SOURCE] switch on each mixer channel to "INPUT" (Æ) selects the channel input signal. Setting the [SOURCE] switch to "TRK"' (=) selects the track playback signal, or the [SUB IN] signal or the memory play signal when it is assigned to the channel. Adjusting the input level The [TRIM] control adjust the head amp gain of each input signal. To get the optimum gain, set this control appropriately so that the [PEAK] indicator lights at the maximum in- put level. By adjusting this control appropriately, the LR16 can accept a signal within -60dBu and -12dBu for an XLR connector is connected, while it can accept a signal within -40dBu and +8dBu when a phone plug is connected. <Memo>: It is important to set the [TRIM] con- trol appropriately. Otherwise, the signal may be distorted or noisy. Opiun gain pren to Cippig let" … … Chppir ei Note>: The [TRIM] control the gain of the head amplifier with a two-stage pre-amp and there is a point where the gain is switched (at approx. -35 dBu for XLR input, -15 dBu for phone input). At this point, a noise may be generated.

Model LR 16 [Mixer functions] <Gain adjustment while monitoring> To adjust the gain while monitoring an in- put signal, connect headphones to the IPHONES] jack (or connect a powered moni- tor speaker to the [MONITOR OUT] jacks) and rotate the [PHONES] control (or [MONITOR] control) little to the right from the leftmost position. In this condition, perform the fol- lowing.

1) Press the [SOLO] switch on the mixer

channel to solo the channel.

2) Inputthe source sound (from a microphone

control) clockwise gradually.

5) After adjusting the gain, press the [SOLO]

switch to de-solo the channel. *Low-cut filter The low-cut filter is often known as a high- pass filter. It passes high frequencies and elimi- nates low frequencies. By pressing the [LOW CUT] switch to set to "ON" (-=.), the ultra low frequencies under 80 Hz are eliminated with a -12 dB/octave slope. The low-cut filter helps prevent wind noise, mic handling noise, etc. It is recommended to enable the low-cut filter when you connect a microphone. eLimiter The limiter can be used to prevent clipping when a too hot signal is input. The limiter is does not work as far as an input signal is below the threshold level. When the input signal exceeds the threshold level, it reduces or attenuates the input signal thereby holding the output signal level too high. The output limiter provided in the master section is effective to prevent damaging the main speakers in live or PA applications. You can tailor the sound using the channel equalizer. For best results, the equalizer should be used to make the sound natural.

Note>: You can equalize the pre-fader signal which is not affected by the channel fader. Note that you cannot equalize the signal sent to a track for recording. <Memo>: In general, the range of frequency of sound that human beings can hear is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The following shows the fre- quency ranges of instruments and vocals. TI AE no Entepene Tamest

ÉRrone age Terre] 1020 60 010 20 500 4 A ENS) <Tips for equalizing> If the mixed sound is not clear, we recom- mend to find the channel which makes the mixed sound unclear and slightly cut the frequency range of the channel. To much boosting may make the mixed sound un- clear. Listen to the mixed sound repeatedly, com- paring with the original (non-EQ) sound, and challenge to make your favorite sound. Using of low-cut filter may be effective when you use a microphone.

EQ HIGH The EQ HIGH is a shelving type EQ which pro- vides up to 18 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. You can emphasize a cymbal or sharpen a vocal, keyboard or guitar by boost- ing the EQ HIGH. You can soften the high fre- quency sound by cutting the EQ HIGH. EQ MID The EQ MID is a peaking type EQ which pro- vides up to 18 dB of boost and cut at the center frequency. You can sweep the center frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. For most of sound sources, the mid frequency range absolutely effects the sound. Therefore, you can dramatically tailor the sound using the EQ MID. EQ LO The EQ LO is a shelving type EQ which provides up to 18 dB of boost or cut below 80 Hz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. You can emphasize a kick, guitar, bass, etc. Model LR 16 [Mixer functions] Using an external effect processor +Using AUX 1,2 and 3 You can use AUX busses for sending channel signals to an external effects processor or stage monitor, etc. The [AUX] send control on each mixer chan- nel adjusts the amount of the channel signal sent to the AUX buss. The signal after the [AUX SEND] control in the master section which adjusts the total AUX buss level is output from the [AUX SEND] jack.

(] aïe Aux SEND 2 AUX SEND 2 as AUXSEND 3 AUXSENDS There are two send signal types - pre-fader and post-fader. You can select pre- or post- fader for the AUX 1 buss. The AUX 2 buss is fixed to pre-fader, while the AUX 3 buss is fixed to post-fader. In general, you send a post-fader signal to an effects processor, while you send a pre-fader signal for stage monitoring. Pre-fader A channel signal before the channel fader is sent to the buss. You can make a mix which is completely independent from the main mix. Pre-fader AUX sends are generally used for the monitor mix, because the channel fad- ers don't affect the AUX send signals. Any adjustments made to the front-of-the- house mix don't affect the balance heard by the performers onstage. Post-fader A channel signal after the channel fader is sent to the buss. Post-fader Aux sends are generally used for connecting to external ef- fects processors. The send signal is raised or lowered according to the channel fader.

Model LR 16 [Mixer functions] Using Insert The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post send, is used for connecting to an external processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can ap- ply effects to a single channel signal. The LR16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter, equalizer, etc. (Ge (NSERTIjack By connecting an external effect processor to the [INSERT] jack, you can send the channel signal to the processor and receive the pro- cessed signal.

Using the intemal effects processor The LR16 features the internal effects (reverb/ delay) processor, which allows applying ef- fects to the mixer channel signals. The effect send signal of each channel is ad- justed by the [EFF] control after the channel fader. The effected (wet) signal is adjusted using the controls in the [EFFECT TO STE- REO), [EFFECT TO GROUP] and [EFFECT TO AUX] sections and sent to the stereo, group and AUX busses. *Applying the intemal effects The following shows how to send the effected (wet) signal from the internal effects proces- sor to the stereo L/R buss. (1) Setthe [EFFECT ON/OFF]switch to "ON"

ISOLO] switches ISOLO]switches Notez: If any of the [SOLO] switches is set to ON, the solo signal is monitored, while the signal selected by the [MONITOR SELECT] switch is interrupted. Channel grouping You can group channels to group busses for effective mixing. Using the channel grouping function, you can adjust levels of grouped channels using a single fader while maintaining the balance between channels. By setting the group assign switch (1-2 or 3-

4) of a channel to ON, the channel signal is

sent to group busses 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. A group buss signal is output from the [GROUP OUT] jacks. When the [ASSIGN TO STEREO OUT] switch above the group fader is set to ON, the group buss signal is output to the corresponding stereo buss. For example, it would be a good idea to as- sign channels for drums to a group. You can control the level of drums using the corre- sponding group fader without altering the balance.

You can connect a stereo audio source such as a CD player, MD player, etc., to the [SUB IN (L, R)] jacks and output it directly from the control unit. Therefore, you can connect a BGM source and play it back during a break in the show, etc. Audio player [SUB IN] control The input signals from the [SUB IN] jacks are level-adjusted by the [SUB IN] control. The signals from the [SUB IN] jacks are assigned to channels 15 and 16 by default, however, you can change the assignment using the "In- put" menu of the MENU mode (see "Other functions" on page 79 for details). The following shows the setting example for playing back the signals from the [SUB IN] jacks by the main speakers of a live stage. Model LR 16 [Mixer functions] (1) Setthe [SOURCE]switches on channels 15 and 16 to "TRK" (=). The input signals from the [SUB IN] jacks are selected as the sources of channels 15 and 16. (2) Use the [SUB IN] control to adjust the level ofthe signals from the [SUB IN]jacks. You can use the [SUB IN] control to adjust the level of the signals from the [SUB IN] jacks, but cannot use the [TRIM] control for them. The level of the signals after the [SUB IN] control are displayed on the level meters of the display.

6) To output the signals from the [SUB IN]

jacks in stereo, setthe [PAN] control on channel 15 to “L” and set the [PAN] control on channel 16 to “R”. (4) Setthe [ST] assign switches on channels 15 and 16 to "ON" (-). The signal from the [SUB IN] jacks is routed to the stereo L/R buss.

65) Use the channel faders on channel 15 and

16 to control the output level ofthe channel signals sentto the stereo L/R buss. (6) Use the [STEREO] faders on channels 15 and 16 to control the level ofthe stereo buss signal output from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)]connectors, which affects the main speaker volume. <Memo>: The [SUB IN] jacks can be used to increase the total number of inputs by con- necting to a sub mixer.

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback] I Recording/playback Recorder basics Before starting recording, understand the basics of the recorder of the LR16. Recording format The recorder section of the main unit is equipped with the 3.5 inch hard disk drive. You can record a linear 16 or 24 bit audio file at 44.1KHz or 48 KHz Fs. DDC OOOO6000600000 _ 35 inch hard disk drive 5 inch hard disk drive INPUT

<Note>: The diagram shows the basic flow of the recording signal and some functions are omitted. The recorder section of the LR16 provides 16 multitracks and stereo Land R tracks. It allows direct re- cording of up to 16 channel analog signals and stereo mix recording si- multaneously. Each analog input sig- nal is converted to digital after be- ing level-adjusted using the [TRIM] control and directly sent to the cor- responding track, while it can be sent to the stereo tracks through the mixer channel where you can tailor the signal using the mixer functions including the equalizer, internal ef- fects processor, etc. Therefore, you can simultaneously perform multitrack recording and rough mix recording during live performance. The recorder also provides basic multitrack recorder functions such as overdubbing and punch-in/out. <Memo>: The hard disk of the re- corder is FAT32 formatted and a file recorded by the LR16 is compatible with a personal computer. You can export a file to a computer or copy a file from a computer.

Model LR 16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback] Recording mode The LR16 recorder provides two recording modes: the new project mode and insert mode. The LR16 automatically creates a new project and starts recording from the beginning of the New project | project To perform recording in new project mode, press the [P LAY ]key while holding down the mode IRECORD]key when the [NEW PROJ ECTJkey is setto "ON", or press the [NEW PRJ.REC] key regardless of[NEW PROJ ECT]key setting. The LR16 starts recording from the beginning of an existing project or performs additional recording on an existing project which has been recorded. You can perform overdubbing, punch in/out, etc. To perform recording in insert mode, press the [PLAY ]key while holding down the IRECORD]key when the [NEW PROJ ECT]key is setto "OFF". Insert mode Project When you performs recording in new project mode (or when you create a new project using the "Project" menu of the MENU mode), three folders as shown on the right are created in the root of the hard disk. The folder at the top ("PROJO01") is called "project". You can make up to 250 projects on the hard disk. Each project on the hard disk is independent and you can perform recording, playback, punch in/out, etc. without af- fecting the other projects. The LR16 automatically gives a project name to each project. The name of the first created project is "PROJO01" and the number (given by the last three digits) is automatically counted up each time a new project is created. You can change a project name automatically given to a desired one later.

Each input signal goes to the mixer channel and is tailored using the EQ, internal effects, etc., then is routed to the ste- reo buss where all input signals are mixed, and then routed to the stereo mix track. Therefore, the same signal as the [STEREO OUT] and [MON OUT] signal is recorded to the stereo mix track. In other words, you can record the same signal as the PA output signal. You can play back a stereo mix file recorded to the stereo mix track using the memory play function. Recording to tracks 1 through 16 and stereo mix track simultaneously> You can record each input signal individually to the corre- sur sponding track (shown by the dotted line on the right dia- gram), while recording the stereo-mixed signal to the stereo mix track simultaneously. In other words, you can record the same signal as the PA output signal, as well as record individual signals indepen- dently. You can edit and mix down the individual signals recorded on tracks 1 through 16 after live performance.

Model LR 16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback] <Memo>: You can transfer a project (or a stereo mix file) to a personal computer by directly connecting the computer to the LR16 or via a USB memory stick. (See page 74 for details about how to transfer to a computer. See page 68 for details about how to copy to a USB memory stick.) You can mix down the project recorded on tracks 1 through 16, as well as can replace a part with the new one using the punch in/out function (see the next pages). Multitrack recording The LR16 provides multitrack recording functions including overdubbing, mixdown and punch in/out. Overdubbing The overdubbing function allows you to record to the desired track(s) while monitoring the playback signal(s) of the other recorded track(s). The overdubbing can be performed in insert mode. The following shows the procedure example of recording a guitar to track 3 while monitoring the keyboard recorded on tracks 1 and 2. It is assumed that the recorder is stopped at the beginning of the project (PROO01). Notez: If the FS of the project to be overdubbed does not match the "Default FS" setting in the "System" menu of the MENU mode, you cannot perform overdubbing (the "FS/Bit” indication es on the display for warning).

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback] Punch in/out The punch in/out function allows replacing the desired part of the desired track already recorded, instead of re-recording the entire track. While a project is playing, the recorder switches from play- back to recording at the "punch in" point, and switches from recording to playback at the "punch out" point. You can punch in and out using the transport control keys on the recorder section or using a footswitch. <Notes>

• Punch in/out can be performed in insert mode. You cannot perform punch in/out in new project mode. *_ Repeating punch in/out decreases the recordable remaining space of the hard disk.
