1.1.1
Off / On Button
This button will turn the currently selected channel on and off.
1.1.2
Solo Button
This will activate the solo function on the currently selected
channel. When a channel is soloed, the signal will be diverted
to the control room mix for monitoring. If the current channel has
safe soloing applied, the word SAFE will appear within this button.
1.1.3
Pan Control
Select the pan control and use the onboard jog wheel to adjust
the left and right pan of the input signal.
1.1.4
Channel Select
Pushing this icon will display a list of all 16 available input channels.
Users can then select the channel they wish to view the properties
of. When the currently selected channel is paired with another
channel, the word PAIR will appear underneath this icon.
1.1.5
Pair Indicator
When the currently viewed channel is paired with another channel,
the word PAIR will appear here to indicate as such.
1.1.6
Channel Fader
Users can use this virtual fader to adjust the level of the currently
selected input channel. This fader will also follow alterations
that are made via the corresponding onboard fader. Please note
that faders cannot be adjusted on screen, instead they must be
selected and the rotary control used to adjust their levels. This
helps avoid any level setting mishaps.
1.1.7
Channel Meter
This meter provides real-time updates on the signal level of the
currently selected channel. The meter displays the input or output
signal level, depending on how the Pre/Post Meter button is set.
1.1.8
Pre/Post Meter Button
This button will change the level meter between a pre-fader (Input)
meter to a post-fader meter.
1.1.9
DAW Button (FireWire or USB)
Pushing this button will replace the currently selected channel's
signal with the signal returned from the corresponding output
channel in your computer's digital audio workstation software.
In this event, the input channel's signal is cut off completely and
replaced by the return signal. Your input signal is still sent through
the FireWire or USB interface.
1.1.10
Invert Phase Button
This button inverts the phase of the current signal.
1.1.11
To Main Button
Pushing this button sends the currently selected channel's signal
to the main mix.
1.1.12
EQ On/Off and Display
This button will allow users to turn on the channel's EQ. If left
inactive, the EQ will be bypassed. The accompanying display
will show the channel's currently selected EQ curve (as selected
by the user within the Equalizer function). Pushing the display
window will jump directly to the Equalizer function and allow users
to immediately adjust EQ properties. An output level meter for the
EQ can also be found next to the EQ curve chart.
1.1.13
Master Dynamic Processor On/Off and Display
This button will turn the Dynamic Processor on and off. As with the
EQ, all dynamic processors will be bypassed if this button is left
inactive. Also like the EQ function, the accompanying graph will
display the properties of the currently selected Dynamic Processor.
Select the display to jump immediately to the dynamic processor
setup. Immediately next to the display, users can find an output
level meter for the channel's dynamic processor.

1.1.14
Dynamic Processor Selection and On/Off Buttons
With these buttons, users can activate and deactivate the
corresponding dynamic processor functions, as well as view their
properties on the Master Dynamic Processor Display (located to
the left of these buttons). Available Dynamic Processors are: Gate,
Expander, Compressor and Limiter. The buttons will turn yellow
when their corresponding dynamic process is being triggered (ie.
when the threshold has been passed).
1.1.15
Delay Function
Push the delay button to activate and deactivate the delay function
for the currently selected channel. Users can also adjust the delay
time, the saturation (mix) of the signal, and the amount of delay
feedback (FB.).
1.1.16
Processing Order
Use this function to select the order that the audio signal will pass
through the Dynamic Processor, EQ and Delay. Any order made
up of the three processes can be selected.
1.1.17
AUX Send Controls
These virtual rotary controls can be used to adjust the level of
the currently selected channel that is sent to the corresponding
AUX mix. To change the AUX sends from POST to PRE, hold the
ENTER button and push the control you wish to change. Post-
fader AUX sends are blue, whereas pre-fader sends are green.
Post-fader sends are post-EQ, post-dynamics, post-fader.
1.1.18
Group Assignment
Push any of these buttons to send the currently selected channel
to the corresponding group mix. The signal level of the group mix
will also be displayed in the button (in decibels).
A Note About Group Sources and Panning
It is important to note that the IS16 has an Intelligent Group
Panning System (IGPS) programmed into its DSP. When channel
sources for the group signal are panned set dead center, the Group
signal will simply be a mono signal. In the event one or more of
your Group sources (from the channels) is panned left or right, the
IS16's IGPS will divide these for Group mixes. Signals panned left
on channels will be sent to odd-numbered Groups (1, 3, 5 or 7)
when selected as a destination, while selecting even numbered
Groups (2, 4, 6 or 8) will allow these to receive signals that are
panned to the right. When sending Group mixes to the Main mix,
panning is automatically set dead-center and can be adjusted to
the left and right as necessary. However Group mixes that are
assigned to Multi outputs are once again restricted to the left-odd,
right-even rule mentioned above. Group mixes panned left can
only be sent out through odd-numbered Multi outputs, while those
panned right are sent out even-numbered outputs (as assigned).
