About power supply
•
•
Be sure to connect the LM16 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 LM16 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 LM16 in an area with a
different power voltage, first consult your
dealer or the nearest Fostex service
station. You can use the LM16 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 LM16 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 LM16).
To avoid possible electric shock and
damage to the LM16, avoid contact with
water or other liquids, or do not handle
the power plug while your hands are wet.
About version upgrade
To prevent possible electric shock and
damage to the LM16, do not remove the
main unit cover or reach the inside the
LM16.
•

Model LM16 [Introduction/Overview]
Condensation
•
When temperature and humidity change
suddenly (for example, when you move the
LM16 from a cold place to a warm place),
moisture condensation may occur to the
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.
About damage
•
Fostex is not responsible for any “direct
damage” or “indirect damage” caused by
using the LM16.
About CAT-5 cable
•
Use only a CAT-5 STP cable for connection
between the main unit and the control
unit.
<Note>: Do not connect or disconnect a
CAT-5 cable while the LM16 is powered
on. When you connect or disconnect a
CAT-5 cable, make sure that the LM16 is
powered off.

Model LM16 [Mixer basics]
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 LM16.
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 [STE-
REO OUT (L, R)] connectors.
A buss sums signals and mixes them. In the diagram below, busses are shown as pipes.
The LM16 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.

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 LM16 is pow-
ered 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
On each of input channels 15 and 16, the
[SOURCE (INPUT/SUB IN)] select switch is
provided. When the switch is in the INPUT
( ) position, a signal from the [INPUT] con-
nector is selected. When the switch is in the
SUB IN ( ) position, a signal from the [SUB
IN] jacks (L for channel 15, R for channel
16) is selected (see page 34 for details).

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
LM16 can accept a signal within -60dBu and

<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 sig-
nal 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.

The LM16 features the internal effects (re-
verb/delay) processor, which allows apply-
ing effects 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 LM16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for
mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used
mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter,
equalizer, etc.

• Solo monitor
Channel grouping
By setting the [SOLO] switch(es) to ON ( ),
you can solo monitor the corresponding chan-
nel signal(s).
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
OUT] jacks.
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.
[SOLO] indicator
For example, it would be a good idea to as-
sign channels for drums to a group. You can
control the level of drums using the corre-
sponding group fader without altering the
balance.
You can find the [SOLO] switches on chan-
nels 1 through 16, the effect send, and AUX
sends 1 through 3 (see below).

[SUB IN] control
By setting the [SOURCE] switches on input
channels 15 and 16 to the "SUB IN" posi-
tion ( ), the signals from the [SUB IN] jacks
are sent to these channels (L for channel
15, R for channel 16). Use the [SUB IN] con-
trol to adjust the input level. (Note that the
[TRIM] control on each of channels 15 and
16 does not affect the [SUB IN] signal.)
Set the [ST] assign switches on channels
15 and 16 to "ON" ( ).
The signal from the [SUB IN] jacks is routed
to the stereo L/R buss.

Use the channel faders on channel 15 and
16 to control the output level of the
channel signals sent to the stereo L/R buss.
The following shows the setting example for
playing back the signals from the [SUB IN]
jacks by the main speakers of a live stage.
Use the [STEREO] faders on channels 15
and 16 to control the level of the stereo buss
signal output from the [STEREO OUT (L,
R)] connectors, which affects the main
speaker volume.

increase the total number of inputs by con-
necting to a sub mixer.
