Please read this owner’s manual carefully.
OUTLINE
The Roland M-16E is a rack-mount: type, 16 channel
mixer that is provided with excellent features which
are nearly equivalent to professiona! equipment.
FEATURES
@The M-1GE mixer features high quality sounds.
@The Channel Inputs cover a wide range level from
MIC input level(~30dBm) to line level(+4dBm) and
can be used for both balance and unbalance signals.
Channels 1 to 8 and Master Out are XLR(balance)
type connectors.
@Phantom Switch is provided for each channel for
use of the condenser microphone which requires
external power supply.
@16 channels are placed in a compact body (6U rack-
mount type) allowing you to use it in a small
space.
@Each channel contains three band Equalizers (MID
band frequency adjustable), Channel Insert Socket.
Channel On Switch and Cue Switch.
@Bus In Sockets are provided to stack the mixers for
extending the channels.
@Five Sends and four Stereo Returns are provided
for use of more than one effect or fold back, etc.
@Newly designed smooth Fader, easy to see Level
Meter and Peak/Signal Indicator are also featured.

@Be sure to connect the power cord to the AC socket
on this unit before connecting the power plug to the
wall socket.
@When disconnecting the power plug from the socket.
do not pull the cord but hold the plug to avoid
damaging the cord.
@ Avoid damaging the power cord.
@If the unit is not to be used for a long period of
time, unplug the cord from the socket.
@lt is normal for this unit to become hot while
being operated.
@Check with vour local Roland dealer. if you wish to
use this unit in another country.
@ Disconnect the AC cord immediately in the event of
an electrical storm.
@Pin connection of the XLR type connector is
standardized to the Ist pin-Ground. the 2nd pin-Cold
and the 8rd pin-Hot of this unit.

@Avoid using this device in excessive
humidity conditions. ar where it may be affected
by direct sunhgnt or dust and avoid places subject
to high vibration.
@Operating the unit near a neon hight. fluorescent

@Peak/Signal Indicator
This indicator lights in green when any signa! is fed
into the Input Socket, and changes to red if the level
of the signal is too high.
It lights in green at —16dB which is the rated level
and lights in red at —6dB which is a clipping level.
* The Peak/Signal indicator aiso supervises the jeve! of
the signal after it passes the Equalizer section.
@Sens Control Knob
This adjusts the input sensitivity depending on the
level of the input signal. Adjust this knob so that the
Peak/Signal Indicator normally lights in green and
occasionally in red. If the Peak/Signal Indicator does
not light up at all, rotate the Sens Contro] Knob
clockwise(ta boost the input sensitivity) or increase
the input level.
* The Rated Input varies from ~50dBm to +4dBm.
@Equalizer Control Knobs
These contro! knobs adjust the tone of the input
sound.
@High: This controis the higher range
sounds : 10kHz frequency can be
controlled up to +15dB.
@Mid : This controls the middle range
sounds : 200Hz to 5kHz frequency
can be controlled up to =16dB.
@Mid Frequency :The frequency of the Mid Equalizer
can be varied from 200Hz to SkHz.
@Low: This controls the jower range sound
: 100Hz frequency can be controlied
up to +15dB.

This adjusts the level of the signal to be sent to the
Effect Send. At the center position, the output level
is zero for both EFF } and EFF 2. Rotating the knob
counterclockwise adjusts EFF 1's level, while rotating
it clockwise adjusts EFF 2's level.
* The signal is sent to the Effect Send post fader (after
the Channe! Fader).
@AUX Volume
This adjusts the level of the signal sent to the AUX
Send.
* The AUX Select Switch (iocated at the Master section)
can select whether to send the signal to the AUX
Send before (PRE} or after (POST) the Channel Fader.
@Monitor Volume
This adjusts the level of the signal to be sent to the
Monitor Send.
*The signal is sent to the Monitor Volume pre fader
(before the Channel Fader).
@Panpot
This sets the position of sound imaging in stereo
field. At the center position, the volume of the L and
R are equal.
@Channe! On Switch
Pressing this switch down(Channel On) will send
signal to the Master Section.
%* Where the signal is turned on or off is pre fader.
* When the Channel On Switch is set to off, no signal
is sent out.
@Channel On Indicator
This lights in green when the Channel On Switch is
pressed down(Channel On).
@Channe! Cue Switch
This switch sends signals to the Headphones or Cue
Out.
* The signal is passed from the pre fader stage.

down, only the cue signal is output.
@®Power Indicator
This lights up when the unit is switched on.
®Power Switch
Pressing this switch down will switch on the unit.
Pressing the switch again will switch the unit off.
* Before switching on or off the unit, be sure to set the

When connecting or disconnecting a microphone cable,
be sure to set the switch to the OFF position.
* Channels 9 to 16 carry 48VDC on the Input Sockets. if
you happen to connect to standard phone sockets by
mistake without the Phantom Switch set to OFF,
damage may be caused to devices. Be especially
careful while you have the “Fhantom Switch’s
