Mixing Layers - Yamaha AW2816 Manual

This comes to a total of 28 channels. Since the AW2816 obviously does not have 28 physical
channels the AW2816 uses "mixing layers" to control the 28 channels.
The Mixing Layers
The AW2816 has 3 mixing layers. Depending upon which mixing layer is selected, different
channels will be used.
When the INPUT 1-8 button is pressed, input channels 1-8 are being controlled. When the
RECORDER 1-8 button is pressed, playback channels 1-8 are being controlled. When the
RECORDER 9-16 button is pressed, playback channels 9-16 are being controlled. The 2 stereo
channels used for the output of the internal effects processors are controlled by the blue RTN 1
and RTN 2 knobs in the center of the AW2816.
The following image shows how the mixing layers function, and how the AW2816 would look if
it was laid out like an analog mixing console:
