The AW16G took state-of-the-art digital recording technology and puts it in the hands of the artist, giving you the power to take your music from concept to CD, quickly and easily.
This AW1600 is the grown-up descendant of that groundbreaking MTR, with added enhancements that make the recording process even more intuitive.
Enjoy the same
clear, intuitive interface that makes setup and recording a breeze.
Add
USB 2.0 drag-and-drop capabilities for moving files onto your computer, 24-bit recording,
Digital
coaxial S/PDIF input and output connectors, six more XLR inputs using the versatile combo jacks, all 8 with phantom power, a new Pitch Fix algorithm for correcting the pitch of vocal tracks
,
and
double the Hard Drive and you have the AW1600!
A Quick Rec function lets you quickly assign inputs to recording tracks through the visual ease of its graphic display. Navigation is easy too, with dedicated buttons that let you freely switch between the functions you use most, such as Record and Monitor modes. Eight channel inputs with 24-bit A/D conversion let you record up to 16 tracks of audio (8 simultaneously) with pristine fidelity. Plus each track can contain up to 8 virtual tracks for recording alternate takes, giving you unprecedented creative freedom for your music. There's even a Quick Loop Sampler for making drum grooves and adding sound effects. It weighs in at 13.5 lbs and measures 18" x 13.5" x 4.5".
Condition:
This beautiful deck is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use and a nice, bright display. The only thing worth mentioning is a few scuffs to the front panel that are too faint to make out well in the pics.
All original knobs are present and complete and there is minimal scuffing to the display plexi. The original power supply has gone missing, so we are including the pictured, brand new, overrated supply that we
used throughout testing
!
Please examine all the pictures thoroughly for actual condition.
Service:
This system showed no issues at all, still all faders were treated with DeoxIT F5, specifically designed to both clean & lubricate fader controls.
Testing:
We set this system up on our test bench and it performed impressively with all switches, functions and LED indicators working correctly and a crisp, bright LCD display. All line/mic inputs and outputs have been confirmed operational. A short track was created and stored, then loaded and played back with no issues. The CD player was also tested with several discs and exhibited no skipping at all. Further testing was done, if there is a particular function you would like tested just let us know before buying.
The manual has gone missing but no worries, it can be found online (unfortunately eBay no longer allows us to put the link in the listing for you).
What a great deal on a quality piece of equipment!

Yamaha
AW1600 16-Track Workstation/
Digital Recorder with Built-in Effects, and CD Burner
16 Tracks of Quality Yamaha Recording
If you're a musician on the move - or with limited "studio" space - you'll want maximum audio workstation performance and functionality with minimum size, weight, and setup hassles. The Yamaha AW1600 provides extraordinary music production power in a remarkably compact, all-in-one unit that can take you all the way from inspiration to finished CD. The AW1600 is the grown-up descendant of the groundbreaking Yamaha AW16G, with added enhancements that make the recording process even more intuitive.
Yamaha AW1600 Digital Audio Workstation at a Glance:
Affordable digital recorder with enhanced features
Eight inputs and up to 16 tracks, plus virtual tracks
Built-in Yamaha effects for mixing
4-band EQ and dynamics on every track
Easy to use, with clear interface and large controls
Pitch Fix for tuning vocal tracks
Works as a musical memo pad to capture your ideas
Very computer-friendly with USB 2.0
Affordable digital recorder with enhanced features
The Yamaha AW1600 adds many features to the award winning AW16G while maintaining the same affordability. These new features include 8 combo inputs (all with phantom power), USB 2.0 drag-and-drop capabilities for moving files onto your computer, 24-bit recording and a new Pitch Fix algorithm for correcting the pitch of vocal tracks.
Eight inputs and up to 16 tracks, plus virtual tracks
The AW1600 mixer supports up to 8 simultaneous inputs. Eight balanced mic/line XLR type connectors as well as eight balanced or unbalanced TRS phone jacks are provided in "combo connectors" on the rear panel for direct input. You can even record 8 tracks simultaneously for convenient one-take ensemble recording. For 16-bit recording and playback the AW1600 recorder section offers a total of 16 tracks, or 8 tracks for 24-bit recording and playback. You also have 8 virtual tracks per physical track - thats 18 (16 + stereo) x 8 in 16-bit mode (or 10 x 8 in 24-bit mode) - that provide plenty of capacity for alternate takes or arrangements. Any of the mixers inputs can be easily patched to any of the recorders tracks for maximum recording flexibility.
Built-in Yamaha effects for mixing
You'll find Yamaha digital signal processing gear in most of the best studios around the world… and you'll also find it in the AW1600. There's no need for external effects processors when you have a stunning range of top-class effects built right in! In fact the AW1600 has two independent effect processors with corresponding sends and returns so you'll have enough processing power on hand for just about any situation. In addition to a large selection of reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch type effects, the AW1600 includes an outstanding range of effects designed specifically for instruments and vocals. There are amp-simulator guitar effects complete with speaker simulation that let you get great guitar sound without having to actually mic a guitar amplifier. Acoustic guitar hasn't been forgotten, either. You also have effects designed specifically to give you superior bass and vocal sound by simply recalling and tweaking the appropriate preset.
4-band EQ and dynamics on every track
Even with the advanced functionality of todays integrated audio workstations, compression and gating facilities on every channel is still somewhat of a luxury. Even channel EQ tends to be rather limited in some cases. The AW1600 makes no compromises when it comes to equalization or dynamics processing: in addition to extremely versatile 4-band equalization, you have independent compression and gating capability on every single input channel and recorder track for total dynamics control over your AW1600 mixes.
Easy to use, with clear interface and large controls
A thoughtful interface built around a 240 x 64 dot backlit LCD display panel makes recording and mixing with the AW1600 a smooth, efficient operation. Quick navigation keys take you to the functions and displays you need immediately, and a comprehensive complement of control keys and encoders gives you the immediacy of hands-on control where you need it most. The same Selected Channel concept that is at heart of Yamaha's industry-leading digital live mixers and production consoles makes the AW1600 easy to learn and intuitive to use. The interface also includes large transport keys for sure transport operation, and a data entry section that includes a jog/data dial for fast, efficient data entry.
Pitch Fix for pitch-perfect vocal tracks
If a song has vocals, the vocals are the song. You'll undoubtedly want the vocal track to sound as good as it can possibly be. The AW1600 Pitch Fix function means that the occasional off note wont mean you'll have to discard an otherwise excellent track. Pitch Fix can effectively "repair" notes that are a bit sharp or flat without adding any telltale digital artifacts.
Quick loop sampler
The AW1600 has a built-in pad-type sampler that delivers the same high audio quality as the recorder section. You can assign sixteen stereo waveforms to the four pads using the sample banks, or load audio tracks from the hard disk or WAV files from a CD-ROM. The timing at which each pad is played can be recorded on a dedicated "pad SAMPLE - LIBRARY track," and later edited for fine control. The AW1600 comes with a library of over 250 SAMPLE - SET UP megabytes of prerecorded drum phrases and sound effects that can be assigned to pads - a fast, easy way to create rhythm and backing tracks for practice or as a basis for original arrangements. The Quick Loop Sampler also features an improved grid-record interface for fast, easy step recording.
Works as a musical memo pad to capture your ideas
Whenever musical inspiration strikes you can quickly record musical "memos" or samples for later use using the AW1600 Sound Clip function. Sound clips are an ideal way to quickly capture ideas for a song or arrangement, or to create simple accompaniment parts for practice.
Very computer-friendly with USB 2.0
Standard WAV files can be rapidly and reliably transferred back and forth between the AW1600 and a USB-equipped personal computer using the AW1600's fast USB 2.0 interface. You can back up audio data from the AW1600 directly to computer and import audio files into the AW1600 from the computer. In addition to the advanced file management capabilities that this provides you could, for example, move files to the computer for processing in a computer-based audio application and then move them back to the AW1600 for final mastering.
The AW1600 integrates easily with MIDI gear, too. It allows full parameter control via MIDI commands, so you can record scene changes as well as control changes from the AW1600 to a MIDI sequencer, for example, and then reproduce the recorded operations precisely when the sequence is played back. If you'll be using the AW1600 with MIDI gear such as a Yamaha MOTIF ES series synthesizer, the AW1600 includes a number of control "templates" that instantly set it up for convenient remote controls from the synthesizer's keys and encoders.
Switchable phantom power is provided for the XLR inputs so you can use studio-grade phantom-powered condenser microphones in order to capture superior sound right from the source. A hi-Z mono phone plug input lets guitarists plug directly into the AW1600 in order to record directly via the superb amp simulator effects provided. Direct digital stereo input and output capability is provided via coaxial S/PDIF input and output connectors. Independent monitor and phones output are also provided in addition to the main stereo outs.
Scene memory and multiple mixes for each song
With the AW1600 you can easily set up multiple mixes for each song and recall them as required. Up to 99 "scenes" containing all mix, effect, and other parameters for all channels can be stored for each song. Stored scenes can be recalled at any time via the panel controls or MIDI program change commands.
