Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the R16.

Power requirements

Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible. If you use batteries, use either alkaline or nickel-metal hydride batteries.

AC adapter operation

• Be sure to use only a DC5V /1A/center plus AC adapter (ZOOM AD-14). Use of an adapter other than that speciﬁed could damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.

• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter.

• When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet, always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull on the cable.

• During lightning or when not using the unit for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

Battery operation

• Use six conventional size AA-1.5 volt batteries.

• The R16 cannot be used for recharging. Pay close attention to the labeling of the batteries to make sure you choose the correct ones.

• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries from the unit.

• If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all remnants of battery ﬂuid.

• While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.

About grounding

Depending on installation conditions, a slight electrical charge may be felt when touching a metal part of the R16. If you w ish to avoid this, ground the unit by connecting the ground screw on the rear panel to a good external ground.

• To prevent the risk of accidents, never use any of the

following for grounding:

• Water pipes (risk of electric shock)

• Gas pipe (risk of explosion)

• Telephone wiring ground or lightning arrestor

(risk of lightning strike)

Environment

Avoid using your R16 where it will be exposed to:

• Extreme temperature

• High humidity, moisture, or splashing water

• Excessive dust or sand

• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Never place objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, on the R16 since this can cause electric shock. The R16 is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.

Connecting cables and input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the R16 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables and the power cord before moving the R16.

Alterations

Never open the R16 case or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Volume

Do not use the R16 at a loud volume for a long time since this could cause hearing impairment.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the R16 has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of elec tromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the R16, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. With any type of digital control device, the R16 included, electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction and could corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the R16. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the ﬁnish or damage the surface.

Back up

The data on the R16 could be lost because of malfunction or incorrect operation. Back-up your data.

Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the ZOOM R16 Recorder/Interface/Controller. In this manual, we will call it the R16. The R16 has the following features.

Introduction

Multitrack recorder that can use up to 32

GB SDHC cards

The R16 can record up to 8 tracks simultaneously. For example, recording a full band on individual tracks or multiple microphones placed around a drum kit. After making linear PCM recordings (WAV type) at 16/24-bit and 44.1-kHz sampling rate, you can transfer the recorded ﬁles to your computer to make use of them in your DAW software. You can even connect two R16s together with a USB cable, allowing you to record a maximum of 16 tracks.

Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) audio interface

You can use the R16 as a Hi-speed USB (USB

2.0) audio interface that has abundant input and output jacks. The R16 can handle 8 inputs and 2 outputs at a maximum of 24-bit and 96 kHz, and its effects can even be used at 44.1 kHz sampling rate. The unit can also operate using only USB bus power.

Usable as a control surface for DAW software

The R16 is equipped with functions that enable you to control DAW software in a computer via a USB cable. You can operate the transport of the DAW software, such as play, record and stop, and you can physically control fader operations. You can also assign various DAW functions to the R16’s F1–F5 function keys. (The assignable functions depend on the DAW software.)

Various effects

The R16 has 2 main built-in effects—an insert effect that can be applied to specific channel signals and a send-return effect that can be used like the send-return bus of a mixer. You can use these effect in a wide variety of ways, including during recording, by applying them to already recorded tracks, and in mastering operations like mixing down and bouncing.

Handles various input sources including guitars, microphones and line-level equipment

The R16 is equipped with 8 input jacks that accept both XLR and phone connectors, including one that can handle high impedance signals and two that can supply 48V phantom power. The R16 can handle high impedance guitars and basses, dynamic and condenser microphones, and various line level instruments like synthesizers. It also has two built-in high performance microphones that are very convenient for recording acoustic guitar and vocals.

Comprehensive built-in mixer features

The R16 is equipped with a digital mixer that allows you to mix the playback of recorded and imported audio tracks. You can adjust the volume, pan, EQ and effects for each track and mix them into a stereo output.

Multiple tuner modes and a metronome for guide rhythms

The R16 not only has a standard chromatic tuning function, it also has functions for unusual tunings, including 7-string guitars and 5-string basses. The metronome can be used as a guide rhythm while recording. You can play the metronome sound through the mixer OUTPUT jacks or you can send it only through the headphones if you want. For example, in a live situation you could send the click just to the drummer via the headphone output.

Exchange files with computers and USB memory devices

The R16 has a USB 2.0 jack that allows high speed data transfer. You can transfer WAV audio ﬁles recorded on the R16 to a computer just by dragging and dropping. You can also exchange files with a conn ected USB memory device without using a computer.

Please read through this manual caref ully in order to understand the R16 functions effec tively. After reading it, please keep t he manual along w ith the warranty in a safe place. *Specifications are subject to change for improvement without notice.
