Analog I/O & 
Digital I/O
This chapter describes the 01V96i’s analog and digital 
input/output connectors as well as the basic operations 
involving the digital I/Os.
Analog Inputs & Outputs
Input Section
The 01V96i’s top panel features input connectors, which 
enable you to connect microphone and line-level sources. 
• INPUT connectors A 1–12
These balanced TRS-type 
phone connectors accept 
line-level and microphone sig-
nals. The nominal input range is 
–60 dB through +4 dB. The phantom [+48V] switches on 
the rear panel turn on or off the +48V phantom power 
feed to these inputs.
• INPUT connectors B 1–12
These balanced TRS-type con-
nectors accept line-level and 
microphone signals. The nominal input range is –60 dB 
through +4 dB.
You cannot use same-numbered INPUT A and INPUT B 
connectors simultaneously. (For example, you cannot use 
INPUT A-2 and INPUT B-2 at the same time.) If you 
connect cables to A and B connectors of the same num-
ber, only the signal from INPUT B is effective (e.g., B-2 
takes priority over A-2).
•INPUT connectors 13–16
These balanced TRS-type phone con-
nectors accept line-level signals. When 
the AD 15/16 source selector is turned 
on (pushed in), signals from INPUT 15 
and 16 are ignored. Instead, signals from 
the 2TR IN connector will be routed to AD Input Chan-
nels 15 and 16.
• INSERT I/O connectors
These TRS-type phone connectors 
are used to insert external devices, 
such as effects processors, into AD Input Channels.•Phantom Power
Inputs 1 through 
12 feature switch-
able +48V phantom powering for use with con-
denser-type microphones and direct boxes. The phantom 
[+48V] switches on the rear panel turn on or off the +48V 
phantom power feed to the corresponding inputs.
•PAD switches
Inputs 1 through 12 feature pad 
switches, which attenuate input 
signals by 20 dB. These switches 
are effective on both INPUT A and B signals.
•GAIN controls
Inputs 1 through 16 feature 
rotary gain controls that adjust 
input sensitivity. Input sensitivity 
for INPUT connectors 1–12 
ranges from –16 dB to –60 dB when the Pad is off, and 
from +4 dB to –40 dB when the Pad is on. Input sensitiv-
ity for INPUT connectors 13–16 ranges from +4 dB to 
–26 dB.
•PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators
The SIGNAL indicator lights up 
when the input signal level at 
INPUTs 1–16 exceeds –34 dB. 
The PEAK indicator lights up when the input signal level 
is 3 dB below clipping.
•2TR IN connectors
These unbalanced RCA phono connec-
tors accept line-level signals from 
devices such as CD players.
When the AD 15/16 source selector is 
turned on (pushed in), signals input at 
these conductors are routed to AD 
Inputs 15 and 16. When the Monitor source selector is 
turned on (pushed in), you can monitor these signals 
from the MONITOR OUT connectors.
Tip: You can patch signals input from the INPUT connectors 
to any Input Channels. (See page 43 for information on 
patching input signals to Input Channels.)

Converting Sampling 
Rates of Signals Received 
at I/O Card Inputs
An optional MY8-AE96S Digital I/O card features sampling 
rate converters, so you can easily convert the sampling fre-
quency of digital inputs to the current 01V96i sampling rate.
1.Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | Format 
page appears.
Use the buttons in the SRC sections to turn the sampling 
rate converters on and off. You can turn the sampling rate 
converters of the digital I/O card on or off in pairs (odd & 
even channels, in this order).
2.Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to 
any two-channel button in the SRC sections, 
then press [ENTER].
The sampling rate converter for the selected 2-channel 
input turns on or off. When on, the sampling rate of the 
received digital audio is converted to the 01V96i’s current 
sampling rate.

Dithering Digital Outputs
When digital audio is transferred to lower-resolution systems, 
truncated bits may generate unpleasant noise. To cancel the 
audible effect of this noise, a small complement of noise is 
intentionally added to the digital outputs. This process is 
called “dithering.”
On the 01V96i, you can dither the 2TR Digital Outputs and 
Slot Outputs. For example, you can apply dithering to the 
01V96i stereo mix data and record to a 16-bit digital recorder.
1.Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | Format 
page appears.
The dithering settings are displayed at the bottom of the 
page.
2.Move the cursor to the output or channel to 
which you want to apply dithering, then 
rotate the Parameter wheel or press the 
[INC]/[DEC] buttons to select the value that 
matches the resolution of the receiving 
device.

01V96i—Reference Manual
Setting the Transfer 
Format for Higher 
Sampling Rates
To operate the 01V96i at higher sampling frequencies 
(88.2 kHz or 96 kHz) and transfer digital audio signals to and 
from connected external devices, you must set the data trans-
fer format in accordance with the sampling frequencies sup-
ported by the external devices.
1.Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | Word 
Clock page appears.
2.Select INT88.2k or INT96k as the wordclock 
source.
3.Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | Format 
page appears.
4.Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to 
an IN/OUT parameter field (
1), then rotate 
the Parameter wheel or press the [INC]/[DEC] 
buttons to set the data transfer format.
The IN/OUT parameters are used to set one of the follow-
ing data transfer formats for each slot input and output.
• DOUBLE CHANNEL
In Double Channel mode, digital audio data is received 
and transmitted as mono signals at a sampling rate that is 
exactly half (44.1/48 kHz) the current higher sampling 
rate. Data is handled by two channels. This is useful when 
you want to transfer data between the 01V96i operating at 
a higher sampling rate and an external digital device that 
supports 44.1/48 kHz.•DOUBLE SPEED
In Double Speed mode, digital audio data is received and 
transmitted at the current high sampling rate (i.e., 
88.2 kHz or 96 kHz). Select this mode if the devices that 
support the higher sampling rates transmit or receive 
data.
•SINGLE
In Single mode, digital audio data is received and trans-
mitted at a sampling rate that is half (44.1/48 kHz) the 
current higher sampling rate of the 01V96i. For example, 
this is useful when you want to receive 44.1 kHz digital 
signals from an external digital device while the 01V96i is 
operating at 88.2 kHz.
Note: When the 01V96i operates at a high sampling rate 
(88.2 kHz or 96 kHz), only two internal effects processors are 
available.
Note: Double Channel mode reduces the total number of 
inputs or outputs on the corresponding slot. The even-num-
bered channels are disabled.

Note: You can select this setting only for slots in which a dig-
ital I/O card that inputs/outputs double-speed digital audio 
data (e.g., MY8-AE96, MY8-AE96S) is installed.
Note: You cannot select this setting for slots in which a digital 
I/O card that inputs/outputs double-speed digital audio data 
(e.g., MY8-AE96, MY8-AE96S) is installed.

01V96i—Reference Manual
Input Channels
Input Channels
This chapter describes how to adjust the 01V96i’s Input 
Channel parameters.
About Input Channels
The input Channel section enables you to adjust the level and 
tone of the signals input to the 01V96i (and the signals output 
from the internal Effects processors 1–4), and route the sig-
nals to Buses 1–8, the Stereo Bus, and Aux Sends 1–8. There 
are two types of Input Channels, each featuring slightly differ-
ent functions: monaural Input Channels 1–32 and stereo ST 
IN Channels 1–4.
Input Channels 1–32
Each of these monaural Input Channels features a phase 
effect, gate, compressor, attenuator, and EQ for signal pro-
cessing. The following diagram illustrates the Input Channel 
1–32 signal flow.
Input Channels 1–32 feature the following parameters:
• (Phase)
This section switches the phase of input signals.
•GATE
This dynamics processor can be used as a gate or for 
ducking.
•COMP (Compressor)
This dynamics processor can be used as compressor, 
expander or limiter. The compressor can be pre-EQ, 
pre-fader, or post-fader. 
•ATT (Attenuator)
This section enables you to attenuate or amplify the level 
of signals that will be input to the EQ. The attenuator 
enables you to prevent post-EQ signals from clipping and 
to correct signal levels that are too low.
• 4 BAND EQ (4-band equalizer)
This parametric EQ features four bands (high, high-mid, 
low-mid, and low).
• INPUT DELAY (Input delay)
This section enables you to delay input signals. You can 
use this delay to fine-tune the timing between channels, 
or as a delay effect with feedback.
• ON (On/Off )
This section enables you to turn the channel on or off. 
The channel is muted with the Off setting.•LEVEL
This section enables you to adjust the input level of the 
Input Channel signal.
•PAN
This section enables you to adjust the pan setting of the 
signals routed from the Input Channels to the Stereo Bus. 
You can also apply the pan setting to a pair of Bus chan-
nels.
• AUX (Aux Send level)
This section enables you to adjust the level of signals 
routed to Aux Sends 1–8. The signals can be routed to 
Aux Sends from either the pre-fader or post-fader posi-
tion.
•INSERT
This section enables you to patch input signals to external 
devices via the on-board I/O connectors or I/O card, or 
insert the internal effect processors. You can patch any 
inputs, outputs, or I/O card channels. (Note that this is 
different from the INSERT I/O connectors in the AD 
Input section.)
• METER
This section enables you to switch the metering position 
of the signal levels that are displayed in the Meter page.
For more information on selecting the metering position, 
refer to “Viewing the Level Meters” in the Owner’s Man-
ual (booklet).
ST IN Channels 1–4
These stereo channels enable you to process stereo signals 
using the phase effect, attenuator, and EQ. The following dia-
gram illustrates the ST IN Channel 1–4 signal flow.
ST IN Channels 1–4 feature the following parameters:
• (Phase)
•ATT (Attenuator)
• 4 BAND EQ (4-band equalizer)
• ON (On/Off )
•LEVEL
•PAN
• AUX (Aux Send level)
• METER
For more information on each parameter, refer to the preced-
ing section Input Channel 1–32.
