• Ground
At the input, the “Cold” signal is rotated in phase 180° again and summed
with the “Hot” signal. Any noise picked up in the cable between the de-
vices is now out of phase in the “Cold” signal, and when the “Hot” and
“Cold” are summed the noise will cancel and only the original signal will
remain.
BNC
A locking connector used for connecting RF and digital interfacing signals
over a coaxial cable. Commonly used in audio for wordclock connections,
as well as digital interfacing.
Boost
To increase gain.
Bus
A bus is used to mix signals together. To hear all of your inputs, they need
to be assigned to a bus, and the bus must be assigned to an output (such
as monitors or headphones). There are several types of buses:
• Main/Master summing mix bus: this is where all the signals are finally
mixed together.
In MIOConsole3d, the master bus outputs to any Group Bus, MH-
Link or USB Host channel, SCP and/or physical output. The main
bus is always routed to the “Main” Monitor Controller source input.
• Group Bus: Also called sub-mix buses, Group buses share the same
fader, mute, and pan settings with the Main mix bus. Group buses
can be routed to hardware ports out to the world, to other Group
buses, and/or the Main mix.
• Aux bus: Used for “auxiliary” mixes, such as cue mixes and reverb
sends. Aux buses include their own fader, pan and mute for each
input strip independently of the Main mix bus. In MIOConsole3d,
an Aux bus outputs to a Group Bus, MHLink or USB Host channel,
SCP and/or physical output and/or the Main/Master bus. Example
uses would be for reverb sends or stem mixing.
C
Cans
Another term for headphones.
Coaxial
Within the scope of this manual, coaxial refers to a type of cable that has
a central conductor (used for the signal) surrounded by insulation which
is then surrounded by a woven metal shield (used for ground) and finally
an outer jacket.
