Playback

This chapter describes some functions that apply to playback only.

Outputs

The DR16pro has 16 analog outputs that can be configured as 16 individual track outputs in MULT

mode, or the combination of two send outputs and a master stereo output in MIX mode. It also has

a digital output that duplicates the signal at the master stereo output.

Analog Outputs

Individual Analog Outputs

The DR16pro has 12 individual analog output connectors (1~12) on its rear panel. These connec-

tors are output level-switched and use 1/4 inch stereo phone jacks. They can be used balanced or

unbalanced: Tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = ground.

Master Stereo and Auxiliary Send Outputs

On the rear panel, there are four analog output connectors (13~16) that serve as tracks 13 through

16 analog outputs, or as two auxiliary send outputs and a master stereo output pair. These con-

nectors are output level-switched and use 1/4 inch stereo phone jacks. They can be used bal-

anced or unbalanced: Tip = hot, ring = cold, sleeve = ground.

Setting the Output Level

The level of the individual analog outputs is switched in pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, and 11/12).

The level of each pair of outputs, master (15~16) and auxiliary send (13~14), is also switched.

When the switch is set to HIGH, the output level is equivalent to +4 dBu. When the switch is set to

LOW, the output level is equivalent to -10 dBu.

Set the level switches to match the nominal signal level of your mixing console or audio system.

Digital Outputs

The DR16pro has two digital output connectors (DIGITAL I/O - MASTER OUT) on its rear panel:

an XLR connector and an RCA/phono connector used to output AES/EBU and S/PDIF format

digital signals.
