The LS9-16 is a LS9 series 16-mic/line input 32-channel digital mixing console. The LS9-16 faders control the console's 16 inputs and stereo output. The LS9-16 can be rack-mounted using the optional RK-1 rack mount kit. It can also be placed on a rack top for convenient access. The surprisingly small size and lightweight of the LS9-16 make it a perfect choice for applications that require maximum portability and handling ease. Use it for events or temporary live sound setups, and benefit from the power and performance of much larger and more complex systems in an eminently portable package that can be set up and operated anywhere with ease. The LS9-16 can handle a maximum of 32 channels, switchable channel layers with the second LS9-32 layer allowing direct control of channels 33 through 64 and the second LS9-16 layer providing access to channels 17 through 32. Input sources can be freely patched to the channels as required, and a single source can be patched to two channels, for example, with one in the first layer being used for front-of-house feed and another in the second layer for monitoring. Direct layer keys allow instantaneous switching between layers. Both consoles also feature four stereo inputs. When you consider the compact dimensions of these consoles, this much input capacity and versatility is a remarkable accomplishment. In addition to an extensive range of gating, compression, and equalization capabilities, there's also a built-in USB memory recorder/player for recording or BGM playback, and other functionality that give you everything you need for small to medium scale live sound or installed applications in remarkably compact, all-in-one consoles.
