Match the following signal flow components with their functions:
Master Routing = Directs the combined audio signals to the main output BUS Routing = Routes multiple audio signals to a specific group or bus for processing Digital Audio Interface = Converts analog audio signals to digital and vice versa for computer-based processing Analog Sound Mixer controls knob and faders = Adjusts the level and tone of audio signals through physical controls
Study Notes
Audio Terms and Descriptions
- Mono: A single audio channel that combines all audio signals into one
- Stereo: A two-channel audio configuration that separates audio signals into left and right channels
- Surround Sound: A multi-channel audio configuration that envelops the listener in sound from multiple directions
Speaker Configurations and Channel Setup
- 2.0: A stereo configuration with two channels (left and right) and no subwoofer
- 2.1: A stereo configuration with two channels (left and right) and a subwoofer
- 5.1: A surround sound configuration with five full-range channels (left, center, right, left rear, and right rear) and a subwoofer
- 7.1: A surround sound configuration with seven full-range channels (left, center, right, left rear, right rear, left side, and right side) and a subwoofer
Signal Flow Components and Functions
- Pre-amp: A device that amplifies weak audio signals to strengthen them before processing
- Compressor: A device that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal to prevent loud peaks
- Equalizer: A device that adjusts the frequency balance of an audio signal to enhance or correct sound
- Reverb: A device that adds ambiance or echo to an audio signal to simulate a physical space
