The part of your mixer (or other device) that manipulates an audio signal by lowering the level of some frequencies and increasing the levels of others. EQ is used to
A device that allows you to control the level of an audio signal by sliding the fader up and down a straight path. Each input channel of the MultiMix has its own fader, and so do the MAIN MIX and ALT 3/4.
A standard for connecting external devices to a computer.
The measure of extra amplification applied to an audio signal. Channels 1 – 4 on your MultiMix have gain controls, which are useful for boosting mic and line signals.
The time it takes for audio to travel from the MultiMix, through the computer and the recording program, and out again. Latency is measured in either samples or milliseconds.
The amount of power driving an audio signal. The most common names given to levels of varying voltage are, from lowest to highest, microphone level, instrument level and line level.
The section of a mixer where the main mix is controlled.
An amplifier that boosts a
A device whose purpose is to combine and output a number of audio signals, allowing various types of signal manipulation.
Refers to an audio signal that has only one channel. The opposite of stereo.
A control that lets you position a mono signal within the stereo spectrum by altering the level of the signal being sent to the left channel as opposed to the right.
A way of providing power to condenser microphones. Called “phantom” because the power isn’t apparent to dynamic microphones when you connect them to an input that provides phantom power.
Describes an aux send that sends a signal that already has passed through the channel fader.
Describes an aux send that sends a signal that has not passed through the channel fader.
