This polar pattern has a 180° heart-shaped acceptance sensitivity from the front of the capsule.
What is cardioid?
100
This product creates cleaner cable management, and allows multiple inputs from the stage to reach the console in an easier fashion.
What is a subsnake?
100
This kind of speaker requires an external power amplifier.
What is a passive speaker?
100
Current is measured in this unit.
What are Amps?
100
A mic preamp is designed to bring input sources up to this level.
What is Line Level
100
This is an effect that creates an artificial space in the mix.
What is Reverb?
200
Accepting sources from all sides, this polar pattern is "all-emcompassing"
What is omnidirectional?
200
If you see this type of input adapter on the back of an active speaker, either of these two categories of cables can be plugged in.
What are XLR and 1/4"?
200
This type of driver reproduces the lowest frequencies
What is a subwoofer?
200
In order to match a speaker to an amplifier, the amplifier must be able to output this amount of wattage compared to the speaker.
What is at least 1.5-2x?
200
This is the state an Aux send should be for feeding a subwoofer
What is post-fade?
200
This processor is used to notch out individual frequencies.
What is a Graphic EQ?
300
The switch on a Microphone or DI box that reduces the signal level.
What is a Pad?
300
This is the name of the 4-pole cable that connects passive speakers and amplifiers
What is NL4 Cable?
300
Speakers that include a woofer, mid-driver, and tweeter are known as this
What is three-way?
300
If there is less impedance in a circuit, the flow of electricity ________.
What is increases?
300
This is an internal pathway that transports signal from one place to another
What is a buss?
300
This control sets the amount of attenuation when a gate is closed.
What is range?
400
This is how you would mic up a kick drum using two microphones.
What is using one mic inside the drum to capture the beater "smack" and another just outside the hole to get the "oomph?"
400
An instrument level signal is said to have this level of impedance
What is high impendance (Hi-Z)?
400
When a speaker sucks in (as opposed to pushing out), it is responding to what polarity of voltage?
What is negative?
400
This unit describes the strength or "pressure" of electricity in a circuit.
What is Voltage?
400
This is a control section that creates an alternate mix of available output signals.
What is a Matrix Mixer?
400
This is a hand control that allows you to easily set the repeat time of a delay unit based on how fast a song is.
What is a Tap Tempo?
500
This polar pattern has an acceptance angle of 150° and is good for capturing a very direct sound source.
What is supercardioid?
500
This is what the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve correspond to on an unbalanced insert cable.
What is...
Tip: Signal being sent out of the console into the effect.
Ring: Signal being sent out of the effect and returning to the insert point on the console.
Sleeve: Shared ground connection between the Send and Return.
500
This digital adjustment is needed when a subwoofer is set up further ahead of the main speakers.
What is time alignment delay?
500
If speakers are wired in parallel with the same impedance ratings, we find their total impedance by doing this.
What is using the impedance rating and dividing by the number of speaker components?
500
This is the process of checking a channel during sound check
What is...
1. Route to main output
2. Unmute, bring up fader
3. Adjust gain, set hpf, EQ as needed
500
This control sets whether a compressor starts attenuating immediately at the threshold point, or if it gradually eases into the compression.
What is Hard or Soft knee?
