AW1600

If you're a musician on the move - or with limited "studio" space - you'll want maximum audio workstation performance and functionality with minimum size, weight, and setup hassles. The AW1600 provides extraordinary 24-bit music production power in a remarkably compact, all-in-one unit that can take you all the way from inspiration to finished CD.

Features :

  • 8-input/16-track system records top-quality uncompressed 16-bit or 24-bit audio at 44.1kHz (8 tracks when recording 24 bit audio).
  • 8 virtual tracks per physical track (18 x 8 in 16-bit mode) provide plenty of capacity for alternate takes.
  • Substantial 40-gigabyte high-speed 3.5" hard disk provides plenty of internal storage as well as fast, reliable recording and playback performance.
  • Built-in CD-RW drive lets you burn original audio CDs that can be played on any standard CD player, as well as make reliable CD data backups.
  • High-performance 24-bit A/D and D/A converters guarantee outstanding audio quality.
  • 4-band EQ and versatile dynamics processing on all mixer inputs and recorder tracks.
  • Eight combo XLR/TRS microphone/line inputs, with switchable phantom power for all connectors
  • Hi-Z mono phone jack on input 8 for direct guitar input.
  • Quick loop sampler with preset rhythm phrases.
  • Sound Clip function makes it simple to record short audio samples or memos.
  • Two high-performance assignable effect processors provide a range of ambience, modulation, mastering, and even guitar effects.
  • Pitch Fix function allows precise vocal pitch correction.
  • USB 2.0 interface provides fast data transfer between the AW1600 and a computer for effective data management.
  • Data compatibility with the Yamaha AW4416, AW2816, and AW16G audio workstations.
