Introduction
From all at Akai, thank you for purchasing an Akai DR16pro Hard Disk Recorder, and welcome to
the exciting world of hard disk recording.
Please take the time to read this manual. It will allow you to get the best out of your DR16pro.
What is the DR16pro?
Take a conventional sixteen-track recorder, replace all the analog circuitry with the latest digital
audio processing technology, replace the tape transport with a hard disk for near-instant digital
audio data access, and add a 16-channel programmable digital mixer — the result is the DR16pro.
The DR16pro is a 16-track digital hard disk recorder and editor, with a built-in digital mixer. It
contains many of the features and functions you would normally expect, such as CD quality audio,
non-destructive editing, etc., but unlike computer-based systems, the DR16pro is as easy to use
as an ordinary multi-track tape recorder.
