1637.0. "Roland M160 16 Channel Rackmount Mixer" by 2427::CHAD () Mon Aug 22 1988 13:17

  Well, last thursday I got my Roland M-160 mixer so here is a note for
  this product.

  I can't say much about it now as I have no effects and only 4 channels
  *at present*.  I just believe in planning ahead...

  It does seem to be remarkably quite, as all reviews have said.
  I'll say more when there is more to say.

   Well, I got the thing last night and hooked it up.  This is probably
   the quietest board I've ever used.  Even at full bore there is no
   noticable hiss, hum or noise. 

   This unit is rack mountable (4 19" rack spaces), and very light (circa
   12� lbs.).  The power cord is built in.  So is a headphone jack with a
   volume control!  All pots and sliders seem to be high quality. 

   List price is $1095.  I got mine at Jack's Music in NJ for less than
   $760. 

FEATURES

   16 channels.  Per channel features:
     - �" inputs
     - peak signal indicator (grn/red, -24dB to -6dB)
     - attenuation -20dBm to +4dBm (1&2 accept mics ... -50 to -10dBm)
     - 3 FX level pots (post fader)
     - AUX send level pots (pre or post fader switchable)
     - pan pot w/ detent @12 o'clock
     - channel fader slider

   Master section features:
     - left/right slider master faders
     - left/right peak LED meters (vertically oriented, grn/red, -24 to +9)
     - left/right pre-fader signal indicator (-20dB to -6dB)
     - 3 FX send/rtn level pots
     - 1 AUX send/rtn level pot with pan
     - pre/post fader AUX switch (controlls all 16 channels)
     - headphone jack, with level (yay!)

   Master outs are �" or XLR l/r (stereo). 

   4 sends (3 FX, 1 AUX).  FX are mono, returns are mono/stereo; first 2
   have switchable levels (-20/+4), 3rd fixed at +4.  Return 4 is mono. 

   Also 3 extra FX in /AUX ins, allowing these mixers to be stacked. 

   Special "headphones in" jack that sends signal thru mixer to
   headphones only (not routed thru master outs).  Nice for sequencer
   click tracks.
