User Manual

MIC IN
This XLR balanced mic preamp input supports sources with a gain range of 0 dB to -50 dB.
All MIC/LINE inputs feature an 80 Hz high pass filter, which can be enabled to reduce low
frequency pops, bumping and rattling noise when using a mic for vocals.
LINE IN (1/4)
These jacks are 1/4" balanced (TRS) high impedance inputs. The cores are positive and
used for unbalanced inputs. MIC IN and LINE IN should not be used at the same time.
GAIN
May refer to MIC GAIN or LINE GAIN subject to input source. Using MIC IN, Gain Range:
0~50dB; Using LINE IN, Gain Range: -20~+30dB. Preferably set to a level where PEAK LED
only flashes occasionally, so to prevent distortion.
LOW CUT
An 80Hz low cut filter toggle. Enable it to cut off unwanted low frequency noise
(e.g., operating noise, stage noise, air noise) to improve clarity. These unwanted energy
could drain power from your audio system.
COMP
Turning this knob clockwise lowers the compressor threshold, increasing the amount
of compression. The compression ratio is within 4:1 and varies with the signal level and
the amount of compression. This is useful for controlling peak levels from live sources,
and is designed to subtly tame the level of live vocals without noticeable artifacts.
MID EQ
The IF control is set to 1250 Hz, with a gain of +/-15 dB and a bell curve.
MID FREQ
This control knob determines the center frequency of the MID EQ control. The center
frequency of the bandpass filter can be set between 100 Hz and 8kHz.
LOW EQ
This smooth-tilt tone control adjusts the bass frequency level (±15 dB at 100 Hz), adding
depth to thin sounds or clarity to overly thick sounds.
AUX1-4
Each channel of the XR-1016FX mixer provides 4 aux sends; AUX1 and AUX2 are PRE fader
sends. AUX3 is a POST or PRE fader send, depending on the position of the AUX3 PRE/POST
button (32). FX/AUX4 send is always post-fader. FX/AUX4 is sent to the internal PRO DSP FX
board. Signals in FX/AUX4 send are also routed to the AUX4 OUTPUT jack on the rear panel.
PAN
This control determines the signal position of the assigned L/R channel and group 1/2 bus.
Turning the knob counterclockwise increases the amount of signal sent to the left channel
and odd group; while turning it clockwise increases the amount of signal sent to the right
channel and even group.
For example, when the GROUP SWITCH (17) is in the 1/2 position, turning the knob
counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal sent to Group 1, and turning it
clockwise will increase the amount sent to Group 2. Equal amount is sent to each group if
rotated to the middle.
HIGH EQ
This smooth-tilt tone control adjusts treble frequency levels (±15dB at 10 kHz), reducing
noise or boosting brightness.
