faders and volume controls are set “∞”.
About power supply
•
•
Be sure to connect the LR16 to the power
supply specified in the specifications
section of this owner’s manual. Do not use
an AC outlet of any other voltage.
Do not connect the LR16 to the same AC
outlet to which devices that could
generate noise (such as a large motor or
dimmer), or the devices that consume a
large amount of power (such as an air
conditioning system or large electric
heater) are connected.
Precautions on installation
•
Do not install the unit in the following
conditions.
*
*
*
*
*
In an extremely hot or cold place
In a moist place
In a vibrated place
•
If you use the LR16 in an area with a
different power voltage, first consult your
dealer or the nearest Fostex service
station. You can use the LR16 with a power
frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
In a dusty place
In a strong magnetic field or near a
device which generates a magnetic field
In the direct sunshine
*
*
In the direct shower or rain
•
•
•
•
It is very dangerous to use a power cord
that is frayed or damage. In such a case,
stop using the LR16 immediately and ask
your dealer to repair the cord.
•
To integrate the main unit and control unit
or mount them to a rack, follow the
instruction described in this manual (note
that screws for rack mounting are not
supplied with the LR16).
To avoid possible electric shock and
damage to the LR16, avoid contact with
water or other liquids, or do not handle
the power plug while your hands are wet.
Notes on handling the internal hard disk drive
•
A hard disk drive for recording/playback
is built in the recorder section of the main
unit. When you move or install the LR16,
Do not apply mechanical shock or drop
the unit.
When you install the main unit and
control unit separately, wire the CAT-5
cable between these units with care to
avoid catching the cable with your foot.
To prevent possible electric shock and
damage to the LR16, do not remove the
main unit cover or reach the inside the
LR16.
Do not let water or other liquid, or metal
objects such as pins, accidentally enter the
inside of the LR16 because this may lead
to electric shock or damage.
Should water enter the inside of the LR16,
remove the power plug from AC outlet, and
consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex
service station.
<Note>: The replacement of the internal
hard disk drive should be done by an au-
thorized service person. If the hard disk
drive malfunctions, contact your dealer or
the nearest Fostex service station.

in the future. You can download the latest
software from our website and upgrade the
LR16 yourself. For details about how to
upgrade the LR16 to the latest software
version, see page 80.
Condensation
•
When temperature and humidity change
suddenly (for example, when you move the
LR16 from a cold place to a warm place),
moisture condensation may occur to the
drive, display and panel. In such a case,
leave it with the power turned off for some
time until the moisture evaporates.
Cleaning the exterior
•
For normal cleaning, use a soft dry cloth.
For stubborn dirt, moisten a cloth in
diluted detergent, wring it out firmly, and
wipe the dirt off. Then polish with a dry
cloth. Never use solvents such as alcohol,
thinner or benzene, since these will
damage the printing and finish of the
exterior.

Model LR16 [Names and functions]
Control unit (input channel 1 through 16)
(1) [TRIM] control
Adjusts the gain of each input signal. Set this control appropriately
so that the [PEAK] indicator lights at the maximum input level.
By adjusting this control appropriately, the LR16 can accept a signal
within -60dBu and -12dBu for mic input, while it can accept a signal
within -40dBu and +8dBu for line input.

Model LR16 [Mixer functions]
Mixer basics
Signal flow of the mixer
A mixer accepts audio signals and modifies them, then mixes them.
The following diagram shows how the input signals flow through the mixer section of the LR16.
As the diagram indicates, an analog signal from the [INPUT] connector is level-adjusted by the
[TRIM] control and converted to digital, then sent to the channel fader via the EQ. After the
channel fader, the pan control adjusts the left and right (or odd and even) balance of signal sent
to stereo left and right busses (or odd and even group busses). Then the stereo signal is finally
level-adjusted by the [STEREO] fader and output from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)] connectors.
A buss sums signals and mixes them. In the diagram below, busses are shown as pipes.
The LR16 provides the following eleven busses: stereo busses (L, R), group busses (1, 2, 3, 4), AUX
busses (1, 2, 3), effect buss and solo buss. Each buss sums signals. The mixed signal may be D/A
converted and fed to an external device, or directly fed to the internal effects.
The LR16 is equipped with a hard disk drive for recording and playback. You can perform up to
16 track multitrack recording as well as stereo mix recording. (You can perform multitrack and
stereo recording simultaneously.)

Connecting sources
<Note>: When you turn on the phantom
power, make sure that the [TRIM] controls
on the corresponding mixer channels are set
fully left (minimum) or the LR16 is powered
off.
• Connecting sources to the input connectors
Each of mixer channels 1 through 16 provides
a combo type -- a combined XLR connector
and phone jack in one. You can connect a
microphone to the XLR connector or connect
a line signal to the phone jack. (The phone
jack can accept both balanced and unbal-
anced signals.)
Usually phantom power does not damage a
dynamic microphone, however, do not con-
nect an old ribbon microphone to an input
connector to which phantom power is sup-
plied.
You can adjust the input gain using the [TRIM]
control on each mixer channel strip.
• Selecting channel source
Setting the [SOURCE] switch on each mixer
channel to "INPUT" ( ) selects the channel
input signal. Setting the [SOURCE] switch to
"TRK" ( ) selects the track playback signal,
or the [SUB IN] signal or the memory play
signal when it is assigned to the channel.

Adjusting the input level
The [TRIM] control adjust the head amp gain
of each input signal. To get the optimum gain,
set this control appropriately so that the
[PEAK] indicator lights at the maximum in-
put level.
• Phantom power supply setting
48 V phantom power can be supplied to the
XLR input connectors. For most of condenser
microphones, the phantom power is required.
You can turn on or off phantom power using
the [PHANTOM] switches in eight channel
groups (1-8 and 9-16) using these switches.
By adjusting this control appropriately, the
LR16 can accept a signal within -60dBu and
-12dBu for an XLR connector is connected,
while it can accept a signal within -40dBu and
+8dBu when a phone plug is connected.

<Gain adjustment while monitoring>
To adjust the gain while monitoring an in-
put signal, connect headphones to the
[PHONES] jack (or connect a powered moni-
tor speaker to the [MONITOR OUT] jacks) and
rotate the [PHONES] control (or [MONITOR]
control) little to the right from the leftmost
position. In this condition, perform the fol-
lowing.
You can tailor the sound using the channel
equalizer. For best results, the equalizer
should be used to make the sound natural.

<Tips for equalizing>
• Limiter
If the mixed sound is not clear, we recom-
mend to find the channel which makes the
mixed sound unclear and slightly cut the
frequency range of the channel. To much
boosting may make the mixed sound un-
clear.
The limiter can be used to prevent clipping
when a too hot signal is input.
The limiter is does not work as far as an input
signal is below the threshold level. When the
input signal exceeds the threshold level, it
reduces or attenuates the input signal thereby
holding the output signal level too high.
Listen to the mixed sound repeatedly, com-
paring with the original (non-EQ) sound,
and challenge to make your favorite sound.
The output limiter provided in the master
section is effective to prevent damaging the
main speakers in live or PA applications.
Using of low-cut filter may be effective
when you use a microphone.

• Using AUX 1, 2 and 3
The EQ HIGH is a shelving type EQ which pro-
vides up to 18 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz.
The center detent position of the control is the
flat position. You can emphasize a cymbal or
sharpen a vocal, keyboard or guitar by boost-
ing the EQ HIGH. You can soften the high fre-
quency sound by cutting the EQ HIGH.
You can use AUX busses for sending channel
signals to an external effects processor or stage
monitor, etc.
The [AUX] send control on each mixer chan-
nel adjusts the amount of the channel signal
sent to the AUX buss. The signal after the [AUX
SEND] control in the master section which
adjusts the total AUX buss level is output from
the [AUX SEND] jack.

A channel signal before the channel fader is
sent to the buss. You can make a mix which
is completely independent from the main
mix. Pre-fader AUX sends are generally used
for the monitor mix, because the channel fad-
ers don't affect the AUX send signals.
Any adjustments made to the front-of-the-
house mix don't affect the balance heard by
the performers onstage.
The EQ LO is a shelving type EQ which provides
up to 18 dB of boost or cut below 80 Hz. The
center detent position of the control is the flat
position. You can emphasize a kick, guitar, bass,
etc.
LOW BOOST
Post-fader
A channel signal after the channel fader is
sent to the buss. Post-fader Aux sends are
generally used for connecting to external ef-
fects processors. The send signal is raised or
lowered according to the channel fader.

Model LR16 [Mixer functions]
• Using Insert
Using the internal effects processor
The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post
send, is used for connecting to an external
processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can ap-
ply effects to a single channel signal.
The LR16 features the internal effects (reverb/
delay) processor, which allows applying ef-
fects to the mixer channel signals.
The effect send signal of each channel is ad-
justed by the [EFF] control after the channel
fader. The effected (wet) signal is adjusted
using the controls in the [EFFECT TO STE-
REO], [EFFECT TO GROUP] and [EFFECT TO
AUX] sections and sent to the stereo, group
and AUX busses.
The LR16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for
mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used
mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter,
equalizer, etc.

If at least one of the [SOLO] switches is set to
ON, the [SOLO] indicator slowly flashes.
You can group channels to group busses for
effective mixing.
Using the channel grouping function, you can
adjust levels of grouped channels using a
single fader while maintaining the balance
between channels.
By setting the group assign switch (1-2 or 3-
4) of a channel to ON, the channel signal is
sent to group busses 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. A
group buss signal is output from the [GROUP

When the [ASSIGN TO STEREO OUT] switch
above the group fader is set to ON, the group
buss signal is output to the corresponding
stereo buss.

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]
Recording mode
The LR16 recorder provides two recording modes: the new project mode and insert mode.
The LR16 automatically creates a new project and starts recording from the beginning of the
project.To perform recording in new project mode, press the [PLAY] key while holding down the
[RECORD] key when the [NEW PROJECT] key is set to "ON", or press the [NEW PRJ.REC]
key regardless of [NEW PROJECT] key setting.
New project
mode
The LR16 starts recording from the beginning of an existing project or performs additional
recording on an existing project which has been recorded.You can perform overdubbing, punch
in/out, etc.To perform recording in insert mode, press the [PLAY] key while holding down the
[RECORD] key when the [NEW PROJECT] key is set to "OFF".
Insert mode
Project
When you performs recording in new project mode (or when
you create a new project using the "Project" menu of the MENU
mode), three folders as shown on the right are created in the
root of the hard disk.
The folder at the top ("PROJ001") is called "project". You can
make up to 250 projects on the hard disk.
PROJ001
MPLAY441
MPLAY480
Each project on the hard disk is independent and you can
perform recording, playback, punch in/out, etc. without af-
fecting the other projects. The LR16 automatically gives a
project name to each project. The name of the first created
project is "PROJ001" and the number (given by the last three
digits) is automatically counted up each time a new project is
created.
You can change a project name automatically given to a desired one later. (See page 66 for
details.)
<Memo>: The "MPLAY441" and "MPLAY480" folders shown right above are empty when they are
created. Only one "MPLAY441" folder and only one "MPLAY480" folder exist in the LR16 hard
disk even if you create more than one project. These folders are used to store stereo files transfered
from a computer to the LR16. As the folder names imply, the "MPLAY441" folder stores 44.1 kHz
files, while the "MPLAY480" folder stores 48 kHz files.
When you start recording for the first time, 16 mono WAV files for tracks 1 through 16, as
well as the "2mix" and "LOG" folders, are automatically created in the "PROJ001" folder.

You can play back mono files for tracks 1 through 16.
A stereo mix file can be played back using the memory play function. The ADL files stored
in the "LOG" folder are used when you retrieve the pre-edited condition of an edited
project, instead of the undo/redo function often found on other digital recorders. (See

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]
The following shows the procedure for rehears-
ing recording to tracks 1 through 16 as well as
to the stereo mix track simultaneously in new
project mode during live performance.
In the following description, it is assumed that
no project is created to the internal hard disk
("No project" is shown on the display).
<Memo>: To record only tracks 1 through
16, set only the [REC TRACK SELECT] keys
1 through 16 to ON. To record only the
stereo mix track, set only the [ST MIX] key
to ON.
(3)
Press the [RECORD] key.
The key lights up and the level meters 1
through 16 on the display now show the
recorder input levels (= mixer channel
levels).
<Memo>: To perform recording to an existing
project, use the insert mode (see page 65 for
details about how to create a new project).
Preparation
(1)
Select Fs/bit of the project and MTC frame rate.
By default, Fs/bit is set to "44.1kHz/16 bit"
while MTC frame rate is set to "25fps".
You can change them before recording.
Flashing
(4)
Use the [TRIM] control each of mixer
channels 1 through 16 to adjust the input
level.
<Memo>: See pages 82 and 83 for de-
tails about how to change settings of Fs/
bit and MTC frame rate.
Adjust the [TRIM] control appropriately so
that the [PEAK] indicator is lit at the
loudest part of playing.
(2)
Change the destination channels of Sub In
from“15/16”(default) to“-/-”(no channels are
assigned).
You can now record to all of tracks 1 through
16.
<Memo>: See page 79 for details about
how to assign the destination channels
of Sub In.
Recorder input levels are shown.
<Note>: The recording level of each track
is equal to the mixer channel level ad-
justed by the [TRIM] control. Therefore,
levels shown on the display can be re-
garded as recording levels as well as mixer
channel levels.
Adjusting input level (=recording level) of each
mixer channel
(1)
Set the [SOURCE] switch on each of mixer
channels 1 through 16 to "INPUT" ( ).
The input source from the corresponding
[INPUT] connector is selected as the
channel source of each channel.
<Memo>: If you want to adjust the input
level of each mixer channel while moni-
toring, set the [SOLO] switch on the de-
sired channel(s) to "ON" ( ).
When any [SOLO] switch is "ON", the
[SOLO] indicator in the MONITOR SELECT
section flashes slowly.
(2)
Set all the [RECTRACK SELECT] keys (1
through 16) and the [ST MIX] key in the
recorder section to ON.
All the keys start flashing. On the display,
track numbers "1" through "16" and "LR"
start flashing, while the recordable
remaining time is shown.

Each channel fader adjusts the channel
output level sent to the stereo buss.
The "LR" meters on the display shows the
stereo L and R buss output levels, while the
channel meters shows the channel input
levels.
<Memo>: You can monitor an input sig-
nal via headphones or monitor speakers
when the solo function is engaged. The
monitor level can be controlled by using
the [MONITOR] and [PHONES] controls
(the latter only affects headphone moni-
toring).
Adjusting the channel output levels sent to
the stereo buss
After adjusting the input level of each channel,
you can tailor the channel signal and send it to
the stereo buss via the pan pot and channel
fader. (This determines the sound output from
the main speaker in live performance.)
Input levels of channels 1 through 16
Stereo L and R buss output levels
Before executing the following procedure, make
sure that the "ST" indicator is lit and the [SOLO]
indicator is unlit in the [MONITOR SELECT] sec-
tion.
The total output levels of the stereo L and R
buss (= the input levels for stereo mix re-
cording) can be adjusted using the [STE-
REO] fader.
<Memo>: You can use the equalizer and
the internal effects for each mixer chan-
nel signal. See "Mixer function" on page
33 for details about the equalizer and the
internal effects.
Lit
In this condition, you can monitor the stereo
buss signal via headphones or monitor speak-
ers. The monitor level can be controlled by us-
ing the [MONITOR] and [PHONES] controls (the
latter only affects headphone monitoring).
Now you have completed all the adjustment
and are ready for both PA and recording of
the actual live performance.

Punch in/out
The punch in/out function allows replacing the desired part of the desired track already recorded,
instead of re-recording the entire track. While a project is playing, the recorder switches from play-
back to recording at the "punch in" point, and switches from recording to playback at the "punch out"
point. You can punch in and out using the transport control keys on the recorder section or using a
footswitch.
<Note>: If you perform the above operation while
playing your instrument, you may not be able
to concentrate on playing. In such a case, ask
someone to operate the recorder or use a
footswitch described in the next page.
<Notes>

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Memory play]
Memory play
The LR16 provides the memory play function. This function allows you to perform instant start
playback of a stereo mix file which is assigned to any of the numeric keys (0 through 9). The
assigned file can be a file recorded by the LR16 or a file copied from a computer, etc.
Before performing the memory play function, use the Memory play setup screen to assign a
stereo mix file to a numeric key, assign the destination channels of playback audio and set the
play mode.
Only the following stereo mix files can be used for memory play.
• stereo mix files in the "2mix" folder of each project
• stereo mix files copied to the "MPLAY441" or "MPLAY480" folder from a computer,
etc.

<Note>: The setting in the memory play setup screen is stored to the "MPLAY441" or
"MPLAY480" folder. The former stores the setting for FS 44.1 kHz files, while the
latter stores the setting for FS 48 kHz files. Depending on the current "Default FS"
setting, the corresponding setting is used. For example, if the "Default FS" is set to
44.1 kHz, memory play is performed according to the setting stored in the "MPLAY441"
folder.
<Note>: Only stereo mix files whose FS matches the setting of the "Default FS" menu
item in the "System" menu of the MENU mode can be assigned to the numeric keys.
You cannot assign a file whose FS does not match the "Default FS" setting.
