Flashcards
0/20
Fader
Adjusts the volume level of an audio channel, directly affecting the balance of the mix.
Equalizer (EQ)
Adjusts the frequency response of an audio signal by boosting or cutting specific frequency bands, shaping the tonal balance.
Gain/Trim
Controls the input signal level of an audio channel, which affects the signal-to-noise ratio and headroom.
Bus
Combines multiple channels into a single output group, allowing for easier control and processing of a mix segment.
Master Fader
Controls the overall output volume of the mixer, shaping the final level of the mix before it reaches the audience or recording device.
Pan
Places the audio channel's signal within the stereo field, affecting the width and location of the mix.
PFL/AFL
Allows the engineer to listen to specific channels or busses in isolation, aiding in setting proper levels and sound check.
Direct Out
Provides a separate feed of an individual channel's signal, often used for multitrack recording or separate mix processing.
Group Master
Controls the overall level of grouped channels assigned to a bus, managing the grouped elements as a whole in the mix.
Channel Strip
The signal path for an individual channel on the mixer, typically including gain, EQ, aux sends, and other processing.
Insert Point
A break point in the channel strip where external processors like compressors can be inserted directly into the signal path.
Meter Bridge
Displays the level of audio signals on a series of visual meters, aiding in proper gain staging and level management.
Effects Return
Controls the level of processed signals returning from external effects units back into the mix.
Aux Send
Routes a portion of the channel's signal to an auxiliary output, often used for monitor mixes or effects processing.
Mute
Turns off the signal from an audio channel, removing it from the mix without altering fader positions.
Solo
Isolates an audio channel or group of channels for monitoring purposes, without affecting the main mix.
HPF (High Pass Filter)
Removes low-frequency content below a certain cutoff point, cleaning up unwanted rumble or bass.
Phantom Power
Supplies +48V power to condenser microphones through the microphone cable, necessary for their operation.
Monitor Control
Adjusts the level of the mix sent to the studio or stage monitors, separate from the main mix.
Dynamic Range Compressor
Reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal by lowering the volume of loud sounds or amplifying quieter ones.
