Yamaha AW4416 Manual Do Utilizador

This chapter explains the two built-in effects of the AW4416.

The AW4416 contains two multi-effect units (respectively called “effect 1” and 
“effect 2”). In general, the internal effects can be used in the following two ways.

❒ Using AUX send/return

In this method, the two AUX sends are used to send signals from each channel to 
the inputs of effects 1/2, and the outputs of effects 1/2 are mixed with the signals 
of the stereo bus or buses 1–8. When the AW4416 is in the default state, AUX 
send 7/8 are patched to the inputs of effects 1/2, and the outputs of effects 1/2 are 
patched to return channels 1/2.

The signals sent from input channels 1–24 and monitor channels 1–16 to AUX 
buses 7/8 are input to effects 1/2 respectively. For each channel, you can adjust 
the AUX 7/8 send levels and switch between pre- or post-fader.

The output signals from effects 1/2 are sent to return channels 1/2. By routing the 
return channels to buses 1–8 or the stereo bus, they can be mixed with the origi-
nal sound of each channel.

❒ Inserting an effect into a channel

If you defeat the assignment of effect 1/2 to AUX send 7/8, you can insert an 
effect into the desired channel (immediately before the attenuator). In this case, 
the mixed effect and direct signals will be input to the corresponding channel. An 
effect that is used for insertion cannot be inserted into another channel, or used 
via send/return.

Effects can be inserted into the following channels.
