(sub) group
an output into which a group of signals can be mixed.
headroom
the available signal range above the nominal level before
clipping occurs.
highpass filter
a filter that rejects low frequencies.
line level signals
at a nominal level of -10 to +6dBu, usually coming from a low
impedance source.
peaking
an equaliser response curve affecting only a band of frequencies
i.e. based on a bandpass response.
PFL (pre-fade listen)
a function that allows the operator to monitor the pre-fade
signal in a channel independently of the main mix.
rolloff
a fall in gain at the extremes of the frequency response.
shelving
an equaliser response affecting all frequencies above or
below the break frequency i.e. a highpass or lowpass derived
response.
spill
acoustic
interference
from
other
sources.
talkback
the operator speaking to the artistes or to tape via the
auxiliary or group outputs.
transient
a momentary rise in the signal level.
