Mixing Consoles and Amplifiers | Maximum Acoustics

Mixer (mixing console, mixing consoles) - device designed for audio information signals (tracks) - summation of several sources into one or more outputs. There are analog and digital mixers, mixing consoles also differ in the number of inputs and outputs.

Any mixer has the inputs and outputs section. Input section consists of a number of input channels. Each channel consists of a number of processing units and signal routing. The main ones are:

• Pre-amplifier with adjustable sensitivity (Gain or Trim), allows you to set the optimum operating level of the input signal (uslileniya) for the channel.
• Equalizer (EQ unit), which allows to adjust the frequency response of the signal in several ways.
• Block routing (additional switching) signal sources and additional bus (Aux), which can be used for external signal processing (or integrated) effects processor or to send it to a separate monitor line.
• Regulator pan (L / R), which measures the position of the signal in the stereo sound picture for the left channel and the right channel.
• Volume faders that determine the level of the signals in the overall balance, and all channels.
