Brooks XM 204 Amplitude

The extreme range of a signal. Usually measured from the average to the extreme.

Analog (Analogue)
Representative, continuous changes that relate to another quantity that has a continuous change.

Broom RM 909 High-Pass Filter
A device that rejects signals that are below a certain frequency (called the cut-off frequency) and passes signals with frequencies that are higher.

Capacitance
The property of being able to oppose a change in voltage or store an electrical charge.

Brooks Cinema ZL 44 In Port
A jack on a MIDI device or computer that will accept an incoming data signal.

Auxiliary Output or Send
An additional output from a sound desk that can be used for foldback or monitoring without tying up the main outputs. Each input channel will have a path to the Aux buss. Also used for feeding a signal to an effects processor. See Auxiliary Return.

Blending
1) A condition where two signals mix together to form one sound or to give the sound of one sound source or one performance.
2) Mixing the left and right signal together slightly which makes the instruments sound closer to the center of the performance stage. 3) A method of panning during mixing where instruments are not panned extremely left or right.

Balanced input/output
A "balanced" connection is one that has three wires to move the signal. One is a ground, and the other two (called conductors) carry signals of equal value. This is why they are called balanced. Low Z cables and connections are the most common example.
