J. W. Davis & Company DMC-16 User Manual - page 9
It is the same as for mono Channels (see 2.3). Note that a mono sum is taken from the stereo
input.
A stereo equalizer is generally preferable to using two mono equalizers when EQ-ing a stereo signal
since discrepancies can often occur between left and right settings.
The Stereo inputs are designed for any line level signal. Most line level sources such as MIDI instruments
and FX units will have their own output level control. Those that do not (such as consumer CD players),
all have an output level within the scope of the DMC-16. When the PFL switch & MASTER/PFL switch
are engaged the LED meters should read between -4 and 0 dB. Note that there is a 15 dB gain on fixed
outputs via the channel fader as well as master fader.
Depressing the PFL switch , & the MASTER/PFL TO CONTROL ROOM switch , allows the signal
to be viewed at LED as a MONO signal for TRIM adjustment. This function will also allow you to
check the paticular channel for activity prior to sending to MASTER MIX. During a live performance, keep
in mind the channel’s fader must be first set in the

(infinity) position, then brought up to unity gain
(0 dB). This function is also helpful to monitor a channel.

Each stereo channel comes with two balanced line level inputs on
¹⁄₄" TRS jacks for left and right
signals. When only the left input is connected, the channel operates in mono.
There are no Low Cut filters on stereo channels; otherwise, the EQ is in principle identical to that on
MONO Channels (see 2.2). The EQ is stereo.
The only difference to the mono Channel, described in (2.4), is the implementation of the Balance control
. When a channel is run in stereo, this control determines the relative balance of the Left and Right
Channel signals being sent to the left and right MASTER MIX busses. For example, with the Balance
control turned fully clockwise, only the right portion of the channel’s stereo signal will be added to the
MASTER MIX.

If a Stereo Channel is run in mono (only the left input connected), the Balance control acts as a pan in
the normal way.

AUX SENDS are provided on balanced
¹⁄₄" TRS jacks . Adjust the input level control of your
effects unit to match the output level of the Mixer. This can be done when typical signals are run
through the DMC-16 and the AUX SENDS are set to center (0 dB). If your effects unit does not
have an input gain and the effects levels seems too low, every channel’s AUX SEND has up to 15
dB gain which should be more than enough to drive any effects unit.
