AD Signature 16 stands as a purpose-built mixer tailored for live sound applications, featuring 10 microphone preamps, 8 mono line inputs, and four stereo line inputs. Connectivity options include 1/4" connections or RCA terminations for line connections. The mono channels are equipped with 3-band EQs, while the stereo line inputs also feature 3-band EQs. Channels 1 through 6 boast single-knob compressors, and all microphone inputs support phantom power.
The mixer provides 24-bit effects like reverb, echo, delay, flanger, and more. The comprehensive output section allows routing to main outputs, monitors, or headphones. Additionally, the USB output facilitates stereo audio recording on Mac, Windows, or iOS devices (with compatible adapters).
Premium Preamps
Exceptional preamplifiers with phantom power, influenced by the E-Series mixers, deliver top-notch sound quality and dynamics. Connecting line-level signals through separate line input jack sockets reduces noise.
EQ on Mono & Stereo Channels
The Signature 16 incorporates a 3-band EQ for mono channels and a 3-band EQ for stereo channels, ensuring transparent sound shaping.
Single-Knob Compressors
The compressor in the Signature series provides transparent limiting for instruments and voices, contributing to a balanced dynamic range.
24-Bit FX
AD offers 16 studio-quality effects for everyday use, covering Reverbs (halls, rooms, plates, spring), Delays (mono, stereo, and multi-tap), Chorus, Flanger, and Echo.
USB Recording and Playback
Directly record to your computer without the need for external interfaces or complex connections. Simply use a USB lead to connect to a PC or to your iPhone/iPad (2 or later) with Apple's Camera Connection Kit/Lightning-to-USB Camera Adapter. USB routing enables effortless CD-quality recording and stereo playback. The class-compliant design facilitates recording and playback from Windows, MacOS, and iOS (via USB adapter) without additional software.
