The AW1600 mixer supports up to 8 simultaneous inputs. Eight balanced mic/line XLR type connectors as well as eight balanced or unbalanced TRS phone jacks are provided in "combo connectors" on the rear panel for direct input. The microphone preamps fed by the inputs – a critical factor in achieving superior sound – are of the highest quality, and with high-performance microphones you're guaranteed recording quality on a par with some of the most advanced studio gear available. You can even record 8 tracks simultaneously for convenient one-take ensemble recording. For 16-bit recording and playback the AW1600 recorder section offers a total of 16 tracks, or 8 tracks for 24-bit recording and playback. You also have 8 virtual tracks per physical track – that's 18 (16 + stereo) x 8 in 16-bit mode or 10 (8 + stereo) x 8 in 24-bit mode) – that provide plenty of capacity for alternate takes or arrangements. Any of the mixer's inputs can be easily patched to any of the recorder's tracks for maximum recording flexibility.
Even with the advanced functionality of today's integrated audio workstations, compression and gating facilities on every channel is still somewhat of a luxury. Even channel EQ tends to be rather limited in some cases. The AW1600 makes no compromises when it comes to equalization or dynamics processing: in addition to extremely versatile 4-band equalization, you have independent compression and gating capability on every single input channel and recorder track for total dynamics control over your mixes.
