16-Channel Analog Mixer: Versatility for Stage and Studio

The PD PDM-S1604 is a 16-channel analog mixer designed for clear and detailed control over complex audio setups. Whether managing multiple sound sources in a live event or fine-tuning studio recordings, this professional audio mixer combines analogue reliability with practical digital connectivity.

Key Features and Benefits

Comprehensive Input Options

Featuring 10 balanced mono microphone inputs, 8 mono line inputs, and 4 stereo line ins, the analog PA mixing console can accommodate a wide mix of microphones and playback devices. Both XLR and 6.3mm jack options ensure compatibility, while 75Hz low-cut filtering (on channels 1-8) helps manage rumble - a frequent issue in live situations.

Onboard DSP Multi-Effects Engine

With 256 selectable effects, including reverbs, delays, and chorus, the integrated processor enables creative sound shaping directly from the desk, without extra hardware. This not only saves space but simplifies signal chains and setup time, making the PDM-S1604 friendlier for quick changes on hectic stages.

Modern Digital Integration

Bluetooth streaming and USB MP3 functionality bring traditional mixing into the digital era. You can play backing tracks or break music from a USB stick, or stream wirelessly from smartphones - no tangled cables or extra players needed. This flexibility supports varied event formats.

Advanced Equalisation

A 9-band graphic EQ and individual channel tone controls mean detailed shaping at both global and channel levels. Fine adjustments across Hi, Mid, and Low let users dial in clarity and warmth, minimising feedback, and maximising intelligibility, especially when working with numerous vocal microphones or complex instrument mixes.

Professional Monitoring and Outputs

LED VU meters make level-checking visual and immediate. Separate headphone, control room, and main outputs (XLR and 6.3mm) support diverse routing - suited for FOH engineers or small production teams looking to separate mixes for different zones or recording devices.

Applications

The PDM-S1604 is equally at home in busy live venues, rehearsal rooms, and recording studios. For event engineers, its channel count suits bands or theatre groups with several vocalists and instruments. Churches and community halls can build speech clarity and manage multimedia presentations easily thanks to simple USB or Bluetooth playback. Studio owners will value its array of routing options and direct effects - streamlining projects with multiple takes or live sessions. It's also a reliable option for conference spaces, where audio sources might include microphones, laptops, and background music, all easily balanced through the mixer's clear interface.

Summary

Bringing together classic analogue signal management with up-to-date digital integration, the PD PDM-S1604 16-channel analog mixer is well suited to demanding users who need detailed control. With frequency response stretching 10Hz to 45kHz, low THD (less than 0.01%), and a robust S/N ratio above 112dB, it supports professional-level results in compact form. Included phantom power supports condenser microphones, while user-friendly design ensures it works for both seasoned professionals and those new to mixing larger setups.
