Alesis 16B
The record shows the 16B was a 16-bit digital reverb system with 16 programs and stereo input and output. It ran free-standing or rack-mounted. Suggested retail price was $249. Mix-Magazine (1987-07, p.60) ran a half-page advertisement calling it a “no-compromise PCM processor,” and a follow-up item in Mix-Magazine (1987-07, p.60) called it “your absolute best buy in professional quality stereo digital reverb.”
Past those two citations, the surviving information is thin. No production years, dimensions, weight, power draw or circuit details have been found. It is an obscure entry in Alesis's early digital effects line - a budget-priced, 16-bit reverb.
- Type: 16-bit digital reverb / effects processor
- Programs: 16
- I/O: Stereo in, stereo out
- Mounting: Free-standing or rack-mountable

If you own a 16B or have documentation - a manual, a service note, a brochure - the Archive would welcome a scan.
