(sub) group

an output into which a group of signals can be mixed.

headroom

the available signal range above the nominal level before

 

clipping occurs.

highpass filter

a filter that rejects low frequencies.

line level signals

at a nominal level of -10 to +6dBu, usually coming from a low

 

impedance source.

peaking

an equaliser response curve affecting only a band of frequencies

 

i.e. based on a bandpass response.

PFL (pre-fade listen)

a function that allows the operator to monitor the pre-fade signal in a channel independently of the main mix.

rolloff

a fall in gain at the extremes of the frequency response.

shelving

an equaliser response affecting all frequencies above or

 

below the break frequency i.e. a highpass or lowpass derived

 

response.

spill

acoustic interference from other sources.

talkback

the operator speaking to the artistes or to tape via the

 

auxiliary or group outputs.

transient

a momentary rise in the signal level.
