Connecting microphones

Dynamic mics
Connect to MIC input jacks.
Condenser mics
When using a condenser microphone that requires phantom
power, connect it to a MIC input jack and then turn the
PHANTOM +48V switch on (pushed in). (See "Setting
phantom power" on page 36)
The PHANTOM +48V indicator lights when the PHANTOM
+48V switch is on (pushed in).
Connecting guitars, basses and similar
instruments
When connecting a guitar, bass or other instrument with high
impedance output (Hi-Z) directly to this unit, use the LINE/
INST (BAL) jacks on channels 1-2 and turn the INST switch on
(pushed in) for that jack.
NOTE
When connecting an instrument with active output or when
the sound passes through an effects unit, for example, that is
connected to this unit, the INST switch does not need to be
set to on.
Connecting electronic devices and other
audio equipment
Use the following inputs to connect electronic devices and other
audio equipment.
o LINE/INST (BAL) input jacks*
o LINE (BAL) input jacks
o L/MONO (BAL)/R (BAL) input jacks
o -10dBV input jacks (13/14)
o STEREO input jack (13/14)
* When an INST switch is on (pushed in), input through the
LINE/INST (BAL) input jack will be unbalanced.

Connecting monitor speakers

Connect monitor speakers (powered speakers or an amplifier
and speaker system) to the CONTROL ROOM L/R jacks.
Depending on the PFL switch and AFL switch settings, signals
from the MAIN MIX L/R bus and PFL/AFL L/R bus can be
monitored.
Use the CR fader to adjust the speaker volume.

Connecting headphones

Connect headphones to the PHONES jack (standard stereo).
Depending on the PFL switch and AFL switch settings, signals
from the MAIN MIX L/R bus and PFL/AFL L/R bus can be
monitored
V CAUTION
Before connecting headphones, minimize the volume with
the PHONES knob. Failure to do so could result in a sudden
loud noise that could harm hearing, for example.

Connecting a computer

Use a commercially-available Type-A-Type-B USB cable to
connect the unit to a computer USB 2.0 port.
When the USB connection is working, the USB indicator in the
screen operation section lights.
ATTENTION
The unit should be connected directly with the computer
instead of via a USB hub. Moreover, noise could be picked up
if the cable is too long.

Connecting with Bluetooth devices

This unit can input sound from a computer, portable audio
device or other equipment that supports Bluetooth (A2DP).
Pairing
Follow the procedures below to enable communication with a
Bluetooth device.
NOTE
Pairing also requires operation of the Bluetooth device.
Refer to the operation manual of the Bluetooth device for
procedures.
1. Press the ON/MUTE switch to set it to ON.
2. Confirm that the PAIRING indicator on this unit is blinking.
If it is unlit, press the PAIRING button.
NOTE
When the unit is turned on, it automatically becomes ready
for pairing. If 2 minutes pass in pairing mode, it will end. Press
this button to reactivate pairing mode when it is disabled.
3. Select "Model 16" (this unit) on the other Bluetooth device.
When pairing succeeds, the PAIRING indicator will stop
blinking and remain lit, and connection with the other
device will be complete.
NOTE
i Some older Bluetooth devices require the input of a passkey.
Enter "0000" in such cases.
i Pairing will automatically end if connection is not confirmed
within two minutes.
i When this unit is turned on, it will automatically try to
connect with the Bluetooth device to which it was previously
connected. At this time, pairing will automatically end after
five minutes if connection is not possible because that
Bluetooth device is not turned on or its Bluetooth function is
turned off.
Unpairing
The Bluetooth device that is currently connected can be
unpaired from the unit.
1. Press and hold the PAIRING button for at least two seconds.
2. This ends the pairing. The PAIRING indicator will start
blinking and the unit will be ready to pair.
