Recreating the characteristics of different monitor speakers (Speaker Modeling)
In order to allow you to recreate the characteristics of various
different types of monitor speakers, the BR-1600CD provides
a function known as Speaker Modeling. Using this function,
you can hear how your songs will sound on different
monitoring systems; furthermore, by comparing these
different sounds as you search for the best balance, you can
achieve mix-downs of a much higher quality.
Makeup of Speaker
Modeling
Speaker Modeling comprises the following effect blocks.

SP Modeling
Bass Cut Filter
Low Freq Trimmer
High Freq Trimmer
Limiter
The most important of these is SP MODELING, and it is this
effect block that actually performs the modeling of speaker
characteristics.
The BASS CUT FILTER block is used to filter out any
unwanted low-band signals resulting from, for example, pop
noise produced by the vocalist in an otherwise fine
performance.
The LOW FREQUENCY TRIMMER and HIGH
FREQUENCY TRIMMER effect blocks are used to adjust the
tone of the low and middle frequency bands, respectively.
Finally, the LIMITER block prevents distortion by
suppressing any rise in volume beyond a specified level.
Connecting external monitor
speakers
To obtain the best results using the BR-1600CD’s Speaker
Modeling feature, it is recommended that you used digitally
connected Roland DS-30A/50A/90A monitor speakers. If
you are using any other type of monitor speakers, please
note that speaker modeling may not produce the desired
result. The DS-30A/50A/90A monitor speakers are to be
connected to the BR-1600CD as shown below.
