Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The F 16XR gives a 16-channel analog mix format more room for microphone, mono line, and stereo line sources, with 10 mic preamps at the front end. Four aux sends and two stereo output buses support more involved signal routing, while six single-control compressors and 16 DSP presets handle onboard processing. Its USB audio interface records stereo to a computer-based DAW and returns two playback channels. Channel 4 adds a Hi-Z input for the specified instrument sources.
