Note: The operation of the SM16S-DDR Mixer
is nearly identical.
This manual will help you understand and get the
most out of all SM console powered mixers

FRONT PANEL
A. Monaural Input Channel
1. Mic In
This input accepts a standard XLR microphone
connector and low impedance microphone
.
2. Line In
This input accepts a 1/4inch two conductor plug
and is suitable for unbalanced line level sources.
2a. Channel Insert Jack.
Allows interface to external signal processing
devices, or direct channel output. 1/4" connector Tip
is Send, Ring is Return and Sleeve is Ground.
This patch point allows you to insert a compressor,
equalizer or any other signal processing device into
any of the SM16S-DDR input channel strips.
3. Low Cut Switch.
75Hz 18dB/octave low-cut filter eliminates unwanted
subsonic frequencies, while still allowing full use of
the low equalization control.(8)
4. Line Trim/Mic Gain.
Simultaneously adjusts the mic input gain to accept
signals from -10dBm to -60dBm, and trims the line
input to accept signals from +10dBm to -40dBm.
5. High Equalization.
Provides ±15dB of shelving equalization control
to boost or cut high frequency signals of 12kHz and
above.
6. Mid Equalization: Level.
Provides ±12dB of Cut/Boost to the midrange
frequency signals. The frequency range affected
depends on the setting of the mid EQ frequency
control (7). CH5-8 is ±15dB of shelving equalization
for mid high and mid low frequency control.
7. Mid Equalization: Frequency.
Adjusts the center frequency of the peak/dip midrange
control (6) from 100Hz to 8kHz
CH 5-8 is 4 band equalizer with High mid and Low mid.
8. Low Equalization.
Provides ±15dB of shelving equalization control to
boost or cut low frequency signals 80Hz and below.
9. Monitor Send.
Adjusts the amount of channel input signal sent to
the monitor output. Monitor send is post-EQ and
pre-fader.
10. Aux1 Send.
Adjusts the amount of the channel input signal
supplied to the Aux1 output. Aux1 send is post-EQ
and factory-configured for post-fader operation.
11. Aux2 Send.
Adjusts the amount of the channel input signal
supplied to the Aux2 output. Aux2 send is post-EQ
and post-fader.
12. Pan.
Sends the post fader signal to the left and right
master outputs. In the center position, the signal is
equally sent to both the left and right master outputs.
13. Peak Indicator LED.
The red LED near the pan pot is marked
Peak,
and
that stands for Overload. The channel strip overload
circuit constantly checked at a critical point in the
channel strip, just after the EQ circuit. If the channel
strip amplifiers are begin too loud into overload, the
Peak
light will flash bright red. You need to find out
which source is too high and make things right. Start
by returning down the
Gain
control until the
Peak
LED no longer light.
