Extra information on jacks and connectors
Input jacks and connectors
These jacks and connectors are used to input audio to the BR-
1600CD.
GUITAR/BASS jack
This high-impedance input jack (1/4” phone plug type) is
used to directly connect guitar or bass.
You can use this jack whenever INPUT SELECT [GUITAR/
BASS], [MULTI-TRACK], or [STEREO TRACKS] is currently
turned on. Note that this input uses the same internal
circuitry as the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack and its volume can be
adjusted using the INPUT SENS 1 knob. When an instrument
is connected to the GUITAR/BASS jack, this input source
will be given priority and the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack will be
deactivated. If you want to use the BR-1600CD’s guitar bank
effects as an insert effect for a guitar or bass, connect the
instrument to this jack, and then press INPUT SELECT
[GUITAR/BASS].
When a guitar or bass is connected, noise may be
generated if its pickup is moved close to the BR-1600CD.
In addition, a similar type of noise can also occur if the
instrument is located close to fluorescent lights, a CRT, a
PC, or any other type of electronic device. This noise
occurs when the instrument picks up magnetic noise
generated in electronic devices via its pickup, and if it
becomes noticeable, move the pickup away from the
electronic device.
INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack
These inputs (1/4” phone plug and XLR connector types) are
used with line sources and microphones. The 1/4” phone
plug-type jack is used to input unbalanced signals; the XLR
type connector, to input balanced signals. In addition, the
XLR connector can also supply phantom power.
You can use this input whenever INPUT SELECT [GUITAR/
BASS], [MULTI-TRACK], or [STEREO TRACKS] is currently
turned on.
Note that this input uses the same internal circuitry as the
GUITAR/BASS jack, and when an instrument is connected to
the GUITAR/BASS jack, that input source will be given
priority and the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack will be deactivated.
INPUT 2/MIC 2 jack
These inputs (1/4” phone plug and XLR connector types) are
used with line sources and microphones. The 1/4” phone
plug type jack is used to input unbalanced signals; the XLR
type connector, to input balanced signals. In addition, the
XLR connector can also supply phantom power.
You can use this input whenever INPUT SELECT [VOCAL],
[MULTI-TRACK], or [STEREO TRACKS] is currently turned on.
If you want to use the BR-1600CD’s MIC bank effects as an
insert effect for a vocal mic, connect the microphone to this
input, and then press [VOCAL] from INPUT SELECT.
INPUT 3/MIC 3 jack through
INPUT 8/MIC 8 jack
These inputs (1/4” phone plug and XLR connector types) are
used with line sources and microphones. The 1/4” phone
plug type jack is used to input unbalanced signals; the XLR
type connector, to input balanced signals. In addition, the
XLR connector can also supply phantom power.
You can use this input whenever INPUT SELECT [MULTI-
TRACK] or [STEREO TRACKS] is currently turned on.
Note that the INPUT 7/MIC 7 and INPUT 8/MIC 8 jacks can
also be used to input audio signals for an Audio Sub Mix.
Whenever Audio Sub Mix is turned on, the audio signals
being input via the INPUT 7/MIC 7 and INPUT 8/MIC 8
jacks will be output directly via the MASTER track L/R.
“Mixing audio-device output with the BR-1600CD’s
output (Audio Sub Mix)” (p. 266)
DIGITAL IN connector
This coaxial-type connector is used to input digital audio to
the BR-1600CD. Connect the digital audio output of a CD
player, BOSS GT-8, or BOSS GS-10 to this connector if you
want to record from that device with no deterioration of
sound quality as would occur in analog lines.
Only digital audio data of the S/PDIF format can be input via this
connector; furthermore, the data must have a sample rate of 44.1
kHz and a bit depth of 16 or 24 bits. The destination for audio
entering via the DIGITAL IN connector is determined by system
parameter settings. Note that the INPUT SENS knobs cannot be
used to adjust the volume of the audio being input via this
connector. To do this, either adjust the volume of the digital device
providing the audio signal or use the BR-1600CD’s INPUT LEVEL
knob or LEVEL CALIBRATION function.
It is important to note that standard audio cables cannot be
used with the DIGITAL IN connector and that a
commercially available digital-audio cable or video cable
should be used for this purpose.
