DS2416 Q&A (Questions & Answers)
Q What’s a DSP?
A A DSP, or Digital Signal Processor is a processor optimized for
real-time digital data processing. The DS2416 features the same
DSP as the Yamaha 02R and 03D digital mixing consoles and
ProR3 and REV500 effects processors.
Q At what wordlength is digital audio processed?
A The EQ features a 44-bit data path, 32-bit coefficient, and 54-bit
accumulator. All other mixer sections feature a 32-bit data path,
24-bit coefficient, and 42-bit accumulator.
Q Does the DS2416 have any onboard memory?
A Yes, 3 megabytes, which is used for input, and effects delays.
Q What is the available recording time?
A This depends on the software, selected wordlength, and hard disk
space. In general, two channels of 16-bit digital audio use 10.6
MB/min.
Q How do I synchronize the DS2416 to MIDI Clock, MTC, or SMPTE
timecode?
A If the software and timecode interface support external timecode,
so does the DS2416.
Q Can DS2416 mixer functions be controlled via MIDI?
A If the controlling software supports this, yes.
Q How good are the onboard effects processors?
A As good as those used in the Yamaha ProR3 and REV500 effects
processors.
Q Can the DS2416 be used simultaneously with a Sound Blaster or
Korg 1212 I/O card?
A Yes.
