Chapter

Operation section
Monitor channels 1–16
These are monaural channels assigned to the output
of tracks 1–16 of the recorder section. Depending on
the input monitor setting and the state of the transport,
these will input either the signals that are currently
being input to tracks 1–16 or the playback signals of
tracks 1–16.
Only when you are playing back the stereo track
included in the song, the output of the stereo track is
patched to monitor channels 1/2, and tracks 1–16 will
be forcibly muted during this time.
Each of these channels is structured the same as the
input channels except for the fact that the direct out-
put is fixed at a location immediately before the atten-
uator.
Digital cascade connection
The input signal from the rear panel DIGITAL STEREO
IN connector can be cascade-connected directly to
the stereo bus, instead of being routed through the
input patch section and patched to an input channel.
This is convenient when you want to link an external
digital mixer or similar device with the mixer section
of the AW2816. Cascade connection settings are
made in the SETUP screen D.in Setup page.
Oscillator
The AW2816 contains an oscillator that allows you to
select either sine wave (100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz) or
white noise. The oscillator signal can be sent to buses
1–8, AUX buses 1–6, or the stereo bus. Oscillator set-
tings are made in the UTILITY screen Oscillator page.
