This is the M-16DX’s main output section.
The balanced TRS L and R MAIN OUT jacks carry the M-16DX main 1
mix bus signal. If youre using the M-16DX for mixing live sound, you’ll
want to connect these outputs to the house PA or sound system.
The balanced TRS AUX SEND 1 jack carries signals sent to Aux 1 from
2
the M-16DX channel strips. You can send this signal to an external
effect processor, or connect it to a speaker or headphone amp to
create a separate mix for performers, as described in the Live Mixing
with the M-16DX Workshop booklet. For a detailed discussion of
effects in the M-16DX, see the Workshop booklet The M-16DX Effects.
While Aux 2 typically carries signals internally from the channel
3
strips to the M-16DX’s built-in effects, you can also use the bus in the
same ways you can use Aux 1—to send signals to an external effect
processor or to provide a performer his or her own mix.
Muted signals are sent to the Alt bus and then to the balanced TRS
4
L and R ALT OUT jacks, which you can use for a variety of purposes.
Connect a sampler to them and grab a quick sample of something
youre mixing by muting it out of the main mix to send it to the
sampler. You can also use these jacks to send a submix to another
room on the Alt bus, while you listen to the entire mix by pressing the
MAIN MIX ALT button to bring the submix back into the main mix.
You can also use the Alt bus to group signals in a submix for single-knob
control, as described in the Creating Submixes Using the Alt/Mute Bus
Workshop booklet.
You can send the main mix bus’s signal to an MD recorder or other 5
recording device by connecting the device to the L and R 2 TRACK
OUT jacks.

In addition to the DX BUS connector that attaches the mixer to the I/O
module, the back of the mixer holds the following outputs:
The PHONES jack accommodates a standard 1/4” stereo headphone
1
cord. The PHONES jack always carries the same signal as the CONTROL
ROOM OUT jacks.
Connect the balanced TRS L and R CONTROL ROOM OUT jacks to your
2
speakers if you’re working alone, or to your control-room speakers if
youre recording someone in another room.
These inputs are designed to receive balanced TRS returns from an
3
stereo external effect device processing signals sent from Aux 2.
Heres the final Channel 15/16 input option, perfect for stereo devices
4
such as personal music players and handheld recorders such as the
EDIROL R-09.
As we noted earlier, Channel 15/16’s simplified channel strip—with
only a LEVEL knob—makes it ideal for any stereo signal that requires
no EQ or Aux send.
At the far right of the mixer back, you’ll find two pairs of switches
that allow you to set the sensitivity of the M-16DX’s SENS knobs—as
described in the Basic Signal-Flow Tutorial Workshop booklet—and
to select whether you’ll use the internal sensor or an external mic
for RAC, as explained in the Tuning Your Room with RAC Workshop
booklet.
