High-performance digital mixer section

The D1600mkII features a 24 channel, 8 bus digital mixer with sixteen 60 mm faders, which let you make smooth, precise level adjustments. The Pairing function allows adjacent channels to be used as a stereo pair, for up to 8 mono plus 4 stereo tracks. A variety of audio sources can be connected directly, ranging from mic level to a +16 dBu level. To match the quality of the full-digital processing, all analog inputs use high-performance balanced preamps. The D1600mkII provides four XLR jacks with high-quality mic preamps and +48V phantom power, so condenser mics can be connected directly to the D1600mkII. All phone type inputs are balanced TRS jacks, and a dedicated guitar input jack is also provided. The SCSI port has been replaced with a USB port for sending files to a computer.
