GLOSSARY

Auxiliary send

An output from the console comprising a mix of signals from channels derived

 

independently of the main stereo mix.

Balance

The relative levels of the left and right channels of a stereo signal.

Balanced

A method of audio connection which ‘balances’ the wanted signal between two

 

wires, these wires also have a screen which carries no signal. Any interference is

 

picked up equally by the two wires, which results in cancellation of the unwanted

 

signal. In this guide, the term can refer to various circuit architectures. Connection

 

details are given in relevant sections.

Clipping

The onset of severe distortion in the signal path, usually caused by the peak signal

 

voltage being limited by the circuit’s power supply voltage.

DAT

Digital Audio Tape, a cassette-based digital recording format.

dB (decibel)

A ratio of two voltages or signal levels, expressed by the equation dB=20Log10

 

(V1/V2). Adding the suffix ‘u’ denotes the ratio is relative to 0.775V RMS.

DI(direct injection)

The practice of connecting an electric musical instrument directly to the input of the

/DI Box

mixing console, rather than to an amplifier and loudspeaker which is covered by a

 

microphone feeding the console.

Equaliser

A device that allows the boosting or cutting of selected bands of frequencies in the

 

signal path.

Fader

A linear control providing level adjustment.

Feedback

The `howling’ sound caused by bringing a microphone too close to a loudspeaker

 

driven from its amplified signal.

Foldback

A feed sent back to the artistes via loudspeakers or headphones to enable them to

 

monitor the sounds they are producing.

Frequency response

The variation in gain of a device with frequency.

Gain

The amount of amplication in level of the signal.

Headroom

The available signal range above the nominal level before clipping occurs.

Impedance balancing A technique used on unbalanced outputs to minimise the effect of hum and interference when connecting to external balanced inputs.

Insert

A break point in the signal path to allow the connection of external devices, for in-

 

stance signal processors or other mixers at line level signals. Nominal levels can be

 

anywhere between 0dBu to +6dBu, usually coming from a low impedance source.

Pan (pot)

Abbreviation of ‘panorama’: controls the levels sent to left and right outputs.
