By Full Compass LiveRecording bands and project-studio owners will love the revolutionary 18-channelDefinition:
1. In radio, television, citizen's band radio, and other wireless communications modes, a specific frequency for communication. 2. In mixers and video, an input or output signal path with controls. 3. In MIDI, one of 16 data paths., rack-mount AudioBox™ 1818VSL because it has the power of an 18 x 18 StudioLive digitalDefinition:
A signal or data expressed as series of the digits 0 and 1, typically represented by values of a physical quantity such as voltage or magnetic polarization. mixerDefinition:
Combiner, controller, and router for multiple audio or video signals., including signal processingDefinition:
Alteration of sound or video signals by using a hardware device or software. Typical signal processing devices include equalization, compression, reverb, color correction, blur, glow, etc. with near-zero latencyDefinition:
The amount of delay a signal, data, sound, video, or control signal acquires within a device, system, or long-distance connection. and the same high-end pro audio quality, including high-headroomDefinition:
1. The safety margin for an electronic signal that accommodates peak signals without overload. It is the difference (in dB) between normal operating levels (0-VU) and the clipping (overload) point. 2. The space between a subjects head or top and the top edge of a screen frame. XMAX™ Class A preamps. Plus a complete StudioLive™ 16.0.2 Fat Channel for compressionDefinition:
1. Reducing the dynamic range of an audio or video signal for consistency, to keep it from exceeding the available headroom, or providing a special effect. 2. With data, using a process to reduce the amount of data. Compression can be lossless, where decompressing replicates the original signal, or lossy, where compression occurs by judging some data as unnecessary, and can therefore be discarded from the file., limiting, downward expansionDefinition:
With an expander, expanding an audio signal's dynamic range so that input signals below a threshold become progressively softer at the output than they are at the input. See Expander. Cf. Upward Expansion., parametric EQDefinition:
An equalizer with controls for bandwidth, frequency, and boost/cut., high-pass filterDefinition:
A circuit or sometimes, mechanical device that passes audio above a specific frequency, and attenuates audio below that frequency. A typical audio application is reducing frequency response below 50-200 Hz to minimize hum, room noise, plosives, and bass reflection build-ups due to acoustical issues. , delay, and reverbDefinition:
Short for Reverberation. The myriad echoes of decaying amplitude created in an acoustic environment. Reverberation may be simulated electronically, mechanically using springs or a metal plate, or in a specially built physical chamber with reflective surfaces where a speaker sends audio into the chamber, and a microphone picks up the reflections. on all inputs and playback streams. These effects are so good that you can print them to diskDefinition:
A storage medium, typically applied to magnetic-based media (e.g., floppy disk, hard disk). or route them through your P.A. onstage. The 1818VSL sports 2 mic/instrument inputs and 6 mic/line inputs with high-headroom XMAX™ preamps, 8-channel ADATDefinition:
ADAT (Alesis Digital Audio Tape): An S-VHS-based, 8-track digital audio recording format, syncable with additional units to add tracks in groups of 8. I/ODefinition:
(Input/Output): 1. A pair of connections that provide input(s) and output(s). 2. The connections that link a computer to devices outside the computer., 2 effects buses, and more. It comes with PreSonus' Studio One™ Artist DAWDefinition:
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation): A computer program or stand-alone device that provides digital audio recording, editing, and mixing. (Mac/Windows) and is compatibleDefinition:
Capable of operating with a particular selection of hardware or software. with virtually any recording software.
