YAMAHA CT-160S 16 Channel Plain Mixer Instruction Manual
Effects channel
EFFECTS SENDS SIGNAL MAIN CONTROL (FX)
AdJusts the total volume of the effect sends bus signals sent to the console’s
internal effects processor and output.
DELAY TIME SPAN OF THE EFFECTS PROCESSOR (DELAY)
Adjusts the length of the time span between each echo in the effector to
simulate the reverb effects of spaces of different sizes.
REPEATS
AdJusts the times and depth of the echoes of the effector.
PAN
This has a function which distributes the signal level between left and right
channels to make a stereo sound effect.
PFL
When you want to monitor echo sound & external effector sound, you can adjust
this control through the headphone.
EFFECTS FADE
These are used for adjusting the volume of signal sources, which are connected
to the relevant channels.
AUX / TAPE / PHONES
AUX SEND
Adjusts the volume from the output jack of the AUX SEND channel in order to
match the external devices.
AFL
When you want to monitor echo sound & external effector sound, you can adjust
this control through the headphone.
TAPE Input Level
Adjusts the volume of a 2-track device or CD replay to the main channel L/R
PHONES LEVEL
Adjusts the volume of the monitor headphone. Use a proper volume to avoid the
damage to your hearing.
Main mix & Meter
+48V Phantom Power Switch
+48VDC switch supplies power to the channel’s XL input, providing power for
the microphone requiring phantom power or DI-BOX. The power currents are
restrictive, providing power to the XLR socket’s pin 2 and pin 3 of the mono
input channel vla 6k8 ohm resistors.
Warning: When selecting phantom power, do not connect unbalanced soures or cables to the input. To avoid big clicking sound, mute the channel when turning on or off the +48V power.
Main Level Meters
In normal condition, it shows the output level of the main mix signals. When
any channel’s PFL/AFL button is pressed down, it switches to show the signal
level of that channel.
Working Condition Indicator
POWER: Power indicator. It lights to show working starts
PFL/AFL: Monitoring condition indicator. When the light turns on, the console
is under the monitoring condition, with the main level meters showing the
signal level of the monitor channel, and the channel signal is monitored from
the headphone monitor output.
FADER: Adjusts the output level of the main mix, providing a normal boost from OdB to +10dB.
BLUETOOTH & MP3 PLAYER
The main menu key, press lightly to enter the multi-level settings.
Backward/Last One selection key;
Fast forward/Next One selection key;
PLAY, PAUSE, and ENTER keys.
MP3 LEVEL
Adjusts the main volume of the playing MP3 player.
PLAYER ROUTE
When the key is up, the MP3 playing signal will go directly to the main
channel L/R outputs. When it’s down, the signal is sent to the CH 7/8 channel
processing. At this time, the CH 7/8 channel input jack cannot be occupied.
Thus, the output signal from the MP3 player can go into the CH 7/8 channel for
processing and be redirected to various output ends.
Main output sections
LOUT/R OUT
The console’s main mix output is XLR & JACK. L and R output usually sends
signals to the indoor PA (public address) system for live sound mixing, or to
a 2-track recorder for studio mixing.
CTRL ROOM OUT
Unbalanced TRS output is post-level and post monitor-signal. These jacks are
used for sending signals to the local speakers or other monitor systems.
PHONES
Unbalanced TRS jack. You can insert a headset, listening on a local monitor
output. We recommend that you use closed headphones of 30 to 600 ohm
impedance. Please note: Adjust the volume to avoid hearing damage
AUX SENDS OUT
Unbalanced TRS jack outputs AUX SEND AUX signals, which is for sending to
monitor, effects devices such as echo and delay, and special mixing
requirements.
EFFECT SEND
These are to be connected with external digital reverb &effect equipment.
EFFECT RETURN
These are to be connected with external digital reverb &effect equipment.
TAPE IN and OUT
RCA input and output connects popular recording and playing equipment, such as
CD, MiniDisc, computer and cassette player. The rated line level is -2dBu.
2-track sends are normally post-fader and after LR mix, regardless of how the
setting of mode switching is. 2-track returns can be used for monitoring mono
or stereo recording, or serve as a simple input of replay content and
background music.

Power Connection and Power Switch
The pure mixer varieties use external power adaptor for power supply. Before
connecting the power, make sure the power voltage of the power adaptor
equipped with this console is in conformity with the local electrical voltage.
When the power switch of this console is at “off ” position, all devices after
this console should be at “off” position.
After you plug the power adaptor properly to the power input socket of this console, you should screw the nut going with the plug tightly and firmly. Only use the power adaptors equipped or approved by our company.
