GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ideal for live performance installations, the MDR1688
delivers superior audio quality and excellent value, along
with an impressive feature set.
The MDR1688 is a true professional 16-channel stereo
mixer. Connecting all your microphones and instruments
to this mixer is simple, with eight mic/line inputs plus
four additional stereo channels. There are also dedicated
stereo effects returns for the on-board digital effects,
which are both numerous and impressive. The MDR1688
features 256 digital studio-quality effects including
delays, chorus, flanging and lush reverbs, which can be
added to your vocals or instruments using the built-in
24-bit multi-effects processor.
The mic/line inputs feature a 3-band equalizer with
sweepable midrange control and there is a four-band fixed
equalizer on each of the stereo input channels. Each of
the stereo and mono input channels have two aux sends
for an onstage monitor mix, built-in or external effects, or
headphone mixing. Plus, aux one can be configured as
a pre or post fader send.
The MDR1688’s master section includes two stereo aux
returns and a two-track input and output for playing back
stereo devices and for recording your mix. Clean, clear
sound reproduction with sweet equalization and signalflexible routing ensure dependable and remarkable sound
for every performance.
High-quality, discreet, low-noise mic preamps with
48-volt phantom power and 60mm faders give users the
best possible sound with the best possible feel. A 12segment LED meter with VU ballistics also displays the
main mix output. And to make the MDR1688 even more
versatile, we include a standard 19-inch rackmount kit.
As like all of Samson’s MDR mixers, the MDR1688
features advanced circuit design using carefully selected
components at each stage of the signal path, giving you
