1. INTRODUCTION  
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in LTO products by purchasing GHIBLI 16(FX) 16-Channel Mixing  
Console. You will get the smooth, accurate more natural and open sound from this apparatus, and it is really ideal for small  
gigs, recording and fixed PA installations. The GHIBLI 16(FX) is packed with features that can not be found in other con  
soles of its size: 4 mono (these are provided with ultra low noise microphone preamplifiers and Phantom Power at +18 Volt)  
and 4 stereo input channels, and each mono channel with 3 bands EQ + Mid Frequency sweep and MUTE function; highly  
accurate 4-segment bar graph meters; built-in high efficiency digital effects processor for GHIBLI 16FX only;  
Your GHIBLI 16(FX) is very easy to operate but we advise you to go through each section of this manual carefully. In this  
way you will get the best out of your GHIBLI 16(FX).  
2. FEATURES  
The GHIBLI 16(FX) 16-Channel Mixing Console is designed for professional application. It provides the following features:  
Mono channels with 3 bands EQ + Mid Frequency sweep and MUTE function.  
TUBE SOUND COMPRESSOR on the MIC1-4 channels + De-esser function.  
Insert function for all mono channels.  
Surround processor with center and surround out + Stereo Bass Enhancer.  
Extremely high headroom offering more dynamic range  
Balanced ultra low noise microphone inputs with "HIGH END PREAMP"  
Suitable for live, studio and home applications  
2 AUX Control per mono channel for internal/external effects and monitoring  
High-quality, low tolerance components for highest results.  
Rugged construction ensures long life and durability  
External power supply design for professional applications.  
3. READY TO START  
3.1 There is a small black box provided with your GHIBLI 16(FX). This is the specific 18V AC input adapter. Connect  
the proper terminal into your GHIBLI 16(FX) and the adapter into an AC socket.  
3.2 Be sure that the main power switch is turned off before connecting the mixer to the AC socket. Also, You should  
make sure that all input and output controls are turned down before connecting the AC adapter. This will avoid  
damage to your speakers and avoid excessive noise.  
3.3 You shall turn on the mixer BEFORE the power amplifier and turn the mixer off AFTER the power amplifier once  
you have finished your working session.  
3.4 Before disconnecting the GHIBLI 16(FX) always turn off the power switch.  
3.5 Do not use solvents to clean your GHIBLI 16(FX). A dry and clean cloth will be OK.

4.1 THE MIC/LINE INPUT  
1
These are Channel 1 through Channel 4. You can connect balanced, low  
impedance microphones or a low level signal to the XLR socket. On the  
1/4" Line jack you can connect either a microphone or a line level instru-  
ment .  
MIC 1  
Note: You shall never connect an unbalanced microphone to the XLR  
socket if you do not want to damage both the microphone and the mixer.  
Also, it is not possible to simultaneously use both the MIC&LINE inputs  
on the same channel, use only one of them for the appropriate source on  
each channel.

It is available only on the XLR input sockets. Please make sure the power  
switch is turned off before connecting a microphone to the XLR input.

4.2 MONO CHANNEL INSERT  
2
2
Insert points are provided for mono MIC channels, which can allow you to  
patch external signal processing devices into signal path. When you insert  
a TRS jack in the insert socket, the signal will be taken out after the channel  
compressor, sent to an external processor, and returned into the channel  
strip immediately before the EQ section. Of course, the jacks used must be  
stereo (Tip Send/Ring Return).  
INSERT  
4.3 STEREO INPUT (CH5~CH16)  
3
Each stereo channel comes with two unbalanced line level inputs on 1/4"  
TRS jacks, which are used to connect left and right input signals. Use the  
LEFT input when connect a mono input signal to the STEREO INPUT. The  
last two stereo channels feature an original and exclusive double stereo  
input for each stereo channel. This feature allows you to connect two stereo  
sources at the same time for each stereo channel, enlarging the real  
number of signals you can manage at the same time.

4.4 LOW CUT  
4
By pushing this switch you will activate a 100Hz low frequency filter that  
provides a precise cut for frequencies under 100Hz. You can use this facility  
to reduce the hum noise infected by the mains power supply, or the stage  
rumble while using a microphone.  
4.5 THE TUBE SOUND COMPRESSOR SWITCH  
5
The TSC switch (on the first 4 channels) activates the TUBE SOUND  
COMPRESSOR and let you choose between Compressor and De-esser  
functions. The two yellow LEDs show the amount of compression applied  
to the input signal. Two algorithms are provided, one for soft compression  
with a threshold level of 0dB, and one for hard limiting with a threshold  
level of around +10dB. This dynamic processor works on the very entry  
stage of the channel and it can avoid also the channel clipping, maintain  
the best signal-to-noise ratio. The compression algorithm applied to the  
sound is shown by two yellow LEDs.

4.6 CLIP LED/0dB LED  
6
The green LED illuminates when the signal overpasses the 0dB level,  
the red CLIP LED illuminates when the channel is going into overload.  
If the CLIP LED becomes permanently on, reduce the amount of gain.  
To have best signal-to-noise ratio set the gain so that the green 0dB LED  
becomes lighted.

you shall read the INSIDE ring (0~50dB); when you use a LINE input  
you shall read the OUTSIDE ring (-20~+30dB).

This control is used to adjust the level of respective channel signal sent  
to the Auxiliary Bus. The configuration of AUX1 is pre-fader so the signal  
sent to the AUX Bus 1 will not be affected by the LEVEL control of that  
particular channel. The AUX2 is post-fader so the signal sent to AUX Bus  
2 will be affected by the channel LEVEL control. In this GHIBLI 16FX,  
The AUX2 signal also feeds the internal digital effect processor.

5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION  
Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate your GHIBLI 16(FX). However,  
we advise you to read carefully the following section to be the real master of your own mixer. Not paying enough  
attention to the input signal level, to the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted  
distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow these procedures for every single channel:  
1). Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your systems components including the  
mixer is turned off. Also, make sure that all input and output controls of your mixer are turned down. This will avoid  
damage to your speakers and avoid excessive noise.  
2). Properly connect all external devices such as microphone, power amplifier, speakers etc.  
3). Connect the 24V AC adapter to the mixer and main power.  
4). Now, turn on the power of any perpheral devices, and then power up the mixer.  
Note: the power amplifier or powered monitors shall be turned on after the mixer and turned off before the mixer.  
5). Set the output level of your GHIBLI 16(FX) or the connected power amplifier at no more than 75%.  
6). Now, set the PHONE level at no more than 50%.  
7). Set HI, MID and LOW EQ controls on the middle position  
8). Set panoramic controls on the middle position.  
9). While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument), adjust the channel level control so to maintain a good  
headroom and ideal dynamic range.  
10). You can shape the tone of each channel by adjusting the equalizer controls as desired.  
11). Now repeat the same sequence for all other input channels. The Main LED Meter could move up into the red section.  
In this case you can adjust the overall output level through the MAIN MIX control.  
12). For GHIBLI 16FX, you can select desired DSP sound effects via PRESET and FX & REVERB LEVEL controls.
