The console we will be working on for our final assignment is a classic in-line analog console with the following I/O controls and specifications: · Mic Preamp/Trim· Small Fader· Large Fader· Lar

Simple 8-channel mixer signal flow (with one channel & master section) including the following components and specifications:

• mic input

• line input (the input from one channel of a multi-track recorder/DAW, for instance)

• mic/line trim pot

• fader

• EQ switch

• EQ (three-band, with sweepable frequency)

• mute switch

• aux send level (to adjust the level of this signal going to an outboard reverb/effects unit)

• pre/post switch (to select whether the auxiliary send comes from before or after the fader)

• mic/line switch

• output VU meter (to display level of signal going to one channel of the multi-track recorder)

• direct output (the signal sent directly to one channel of the multi-track)

• stereo pan pot (for signal going to the master stereo mix)

The master section contains the following components:

• stereo master fader (for overall mixdown level going to two-track and speakers)

• stereo speaker level (for control room listening level)

• stereo master VU meters (for output level of signals going to two-track)

• master auxiliary send (for overall level going to reverb/effects unit)

• auxiliary send output (the signal sent to the input of the reverb unit)

• stereo output (the signal sent to the two-track recorder)

• stereo speaker output (the signal sent to the control room speakers)

Observations:

• output VU meter reflects any changes made at the individual fader and EQ, but not the mute.

• stereo master VU meters reflect all changes, including pans and mutes, but not speaker level.

• individual mutes cut signal going to the main stereo output and post-fader send, but not to the direct output or pre-fader send.
