|
What does the 5 - 6 shift button do? |
Turns auxs 3-4 into 5-6. |
|
|
How many aux sends are always sending out of the 1604? |
4 auxs. |
|
|
What type of EQ is the low-frequency EQ on the 1604? |
Low Band Shelf. |
|
|
How many bands of EQ are there in a channel and what are they? |
3. Hi, Mid, Low. Mid also has a frequency selector. |
|
|
How does the mid-sweep EQ work? |
Semi-parametrically, Only some parameters are flexible. Bandwidth of the mid EQ is fixed. |
|
|
How do we send to a dynamic effect? (1604) |
Inserts, rear of console. |
|
|
What are some examples of a dynamic effects? |
Compressor, EQ, Limiter, Gates, Expanders. |
|
|
A dynamic effect is a serial or parallel connection? |
Serial connection. Inserts are serial. |
|
|
What type of connector do we have to use with one insert point? |
1/4 inch TRS cable |
|
|
How does a TRS connector work? |
Tip to send. Ring to receive. |
|
|
What do the control room source buttons do? |
Chooses what we hear in the control room. |
|
|
Where does a post aux send get it's feed from in the channel? |
After fader but before pan pot. |
|
|
Where does a pre aux send get it's feed from in the channel? |
Before EQ but after low cut. |
|
|
Why do we use an aux send for time based effects? |
So we don't manipulate the original signal. Inserts change the whole signal. |
|
|
AFL solo mode is mono or stereo? |
Stereo. |
|
|
When do we use AFL solo mode? |
For recording and mixing. |
|
|
A time based effect is usually sent from tape send or tape return? |
NEITHER. It's sent from an aux send. |
|
|
What are some examples of time based effects? |
Reverb, Delay, Flanger, Chorus... |
|
|
How does the low-cut filter work & when do we use it? |
To remove rumble and transmission noise. Cuts the lower frequency at a rate of 18db per octave. |
|
|
What do we use phantom power for? |
Powering condenser microphones. |
|
|
What is phantom power? |
48v DC sent to a microphone from an outside source. |
|
|
On the 1604, how do we phantom power on? |
Switch. Top left, rear of console. |
|
|
When should we never use phantom power? |
Ribbon microphones. |
|
|
What does "double monitoring" mean? |
Sending 2 copies of the same signal to your monitors. Not an accurate representation. |
|
|
What is the difference between a split and inline console? |
Split has one path per channel. Inline has 2 distinct paths per channel. |
|
|
What does PFL & AFL stand for? |
Pre Fader Listen. After Fader Listen. |
|
|
Direct outs are typically used for what? |
Sending signals directly to a multi-track. |
|
|
Direct outs are pre or post fader? |
Post fader. |
|
|
What do aux sends, the L/R mix, and Subgroups have in common? |
They are all ways to get signal to leave the board. |
|
|
What can we use aux returns for? |
For bringing back in time based effects when channels are full. |
|
|
On the 1604, which aux sends would we use for a musicians headphone mix & why? |
1&2 because they have a pre Fader option. |
|
|
We send to a headphone mix pre or post aux? Why? |
Pre. So that moving the faders doesn't affect the headphone mix. |
|
|
A time based effect is usually sent pre or post? Why? |
Post. So that the ratio of the effects direct signal remains the same. |
|
|
Where does the control room source "tape" get its feed? |
Tape in. |
|
|
In a recording situation, why might we use the subgroup busses to go to the multi-track tape? |
For control grouping & for sending signals to a multi-track with limited tracks. |
|
|
In a mixdown situation why might we use the subgroup busses? |
For control grouping & for sending signals to a multi-track with limited tracks. |
|
|
What is the purpose of the level setting procedure? |
To achieve best signal to noise ratio. |
|
|
The level setting procedure is done during recording or mixdown? |
Recording. (Before recording) |
|
|
What is the advantage of using the direct outs instead of the subgroup busses to go to tape? |
Direct out is the shortest, cleanest output signal from the board. |
|
|
In a recording studio, where are the main outs intended to be patched to? |
A two track. |
|
|
Which aux return has the most assignment options? |
Aux 3. |
|
|
If you had an outboard EQ & wanted to run a signal through it, how would you send to it from a channel? |
Insert. |
|
|
What are all the ways you can send a signal from a channel? |
Direct out, Aux send, Subgroups & Main mix. |
