Mixing Console (4)

 

 

Console's Output Section:

 

1. The Bus

- Bus is basically a path in which you can route one or more audio signals to a particular destination. Destinations can include groups, auxiliary sends, stereo mix, foldback or monitor. Commonly busses are used to route channel signals to a master group fader, a multitrack recorder, or the main stereo master fader (or all). *© PMT online

 

 

2. Summing Amp

- A combining Amp which isolates one signal from another while combining them - Multiple signals in, one combined signal out

 

 

3. Fader

- Control level of signal

- With mute and solo switches

 

 

4. Patch points

- Used to connect various components into the console without board processors

 

 

 

Console's Monitor Section:

- The monitor section controls what signals and levels are sent to the studio speakers, the control room speakers, the talkback circuit (for communicating with artists in the studio, or conductors on stage), and headphones *© Indiana University

- has 2 line level inputs from either the output Bus or the Multi TRKs (Multi-track recorder)

 

 

1. Bus/Tape Switch

- Determines which of the above signals is input to the monitor section

 

2. Patch points

 

3. Phase reverse switch

 

4. Line Trim/Pad (Line Amp with 20 dB gain)

 

5. Variable Line Pad (with -20 dB pad)

 

6. Dynamics (Compressor/Limiter and Expander/Gate)

 

7. EQ

 

8. AUX sends

 

9. Monitor fader (Controls level to the Mix)

 

10. Monitor Pan (Determines L-R or Surround placement)

 

11. Master Monitor
