Input Section -> EQ -> AUX -> Master Fader
Input Section -> Channel Fader -> Master Fader -> Main Outputs
4
There may actually be 2 or more stereo buses, meaning multiple Master Faders. True or false?
False
True
5
What does the Input Section do?
Accept mic and line level sources
Offer features to help the recording/mix process
Apply gain-up to operational level
All answers are correct
6
Which SOLO mode of operation is ideal for checking out how loud a source is in the mix?
SIP
SIF
AFL
PFL
7

All answers are correct
The Track
The Channel
The Region (or Clip)
8
Circuit noise is full of low frequency. True or false?
True
False
9
The Gain Knob applies gain to the input signal, and the Trim knob cuts gain from the output signal. True or false?
True
False
10
When we press the MUTE button, the signal is re-routed to the signal ground circuit-a dead end. True or false?
False
True
11
Each Subgroup Master has an EQ. True or false?
True
False
12
In terms of signal flow, the pan knob is:
after the master fader
after the input section, but before the channel fader
before the channel fader
after the channel fader
13

True
False
14
Which is NOT one of the four most common and important areas of the mixer?
