1) POWER switch
The rocker part of the power switch is recessed in the ON position to prevent accidental
power off.
2) Peak Level meters
These 20-segment FLD (Fluorescent Light Display) bargraphs with peak hold indicate the
playback and source levels. There are sixteen track level indicators that also indicate the
send, bus routing, and stereo master levels. The bargraphs are used to display channel pa-
rameter settings when the DR16pro is in Mix Mode.
Note: These meters are after the A/D converters in the signal path. Therefore when the
amber 0 dB (Peak) FLD segment lights, it indicates digital distortion. You should adjust
the levels so this never occurs.
3) METER key
This key toggles the level meter indicator between channel and master. Normally, the level
meter shows the level of each track. Pressing the METER key changes tracks 11-16 indica-
tors to send, bus, and master level indicators.
4) DIGI(D IN) key
This key selects digital inputs for input channels 1 – 8 from the optional ADAT or AES/EBU
digital audio interface. (Select the XLR or the RCA/phono connectors with the DIGI(D IN) sub-
menu function.) See “Digital Inputs” on page 33.
This key is also used for selecting either the XLR or RCA connector (DIN-L / DIN-R).
5) CHANNEL ON keys 1/9 ~ 8/16
These keys allow you to select channels for monitoring. See “Track Number Limitations” on
page 42. When you are using the Mix Mode, these keys select the channel you want to edit.
Also see “Selecting Mix Mode” on page 61.
6) TRACK REC(INPUT SELECT) keys 1/9 ~ 8/16
These keys are used to arm tracks for recording (“Arming Tracks” on page 38) or to select
auxiliary inputs (“Setting an Auxiliary Input” on page 64.) A flashing key indicates that a track
is armed for recording, and a lit key indicates recording in progress. Assign the input channel
for each track using the TRACK REC (INPUT SELECT) sub-menu function (“Selecting the
Input Channels” on page 35).
