ABSTRACT
Large mixers are exactly the same as small ones, but with more channels and buses, so at
first they can seem complicated. Let’s start by examining a single channel from a
hypothetical mixing console. Although they’re called mixing consoles, most also include
mic preamps and signal routing appropriate for recording. Figure 5.1 shows the front panel
layout of a typical channel, with its corresponding block diagram showing the signal flow
presented in Figure 5.2.
