the ‘howling’ sound caused by bringing a microphone too close to a loudspeaker driven from its amplified sig- nal.
a feed sent back to the artistes via loudspeakers or headphones to enable them to monitor the sounds they are producing.
the variation in gain of a device with frequency.
an output into which a group of signals can be mixed.
the available signal range above the nominal level before clipping occurs.
at a nominal level of
impedance source.
the operational mode in which pre- recorded tracks on the multitrack tape machine are replayed and mixed to cre- ate a final Stereo master recording.
the section of the input channel which is normally fed by th tape machine outputs, and feeds to the stereo mix un- der the control of a rotary fader to create a Monitor mix.
the operational mode in which one or more tracks can be recorded or modified as other tracks are played back.
abbreviation of ’panorama’: controls levels sent to left and right outputs.
an equaliser response curve affecting only a band of frequencies i.e. based on a bandpass response.
a function that allows the operator to monitor the
a fall in gain at the extremes of the frequency response.
an equaliser response affecting all frequencies above or below the break frequency i.e. a highpass or lowpass derived response.
acoustic interference from other sources.
the operator speaking to the artistes or to tape via the auxiliary or group outputs.
a momentary rise in the signal level.
a variable control which gives adjustment of signal level ov limited and predetermined range usually for calibration
