ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the specialized circuit blocks that make up a mixing consoles. Some
functions, such as microphone amplification, line input and output, and equalization, have
already been explored in previous chapters. The other useful blocks are presented here in the
order that a signal encounters them as it goes through the console, but many of them are
applicable to all the various kinds of module – input channels, groups, and master sections. For
example, fader postamplifiers and insert points will be found in all three types of module.
