The mixer audio, the most useful instrument to the dj and the persons assigned to the direction of teatrali shows is one, television shows etc. The mixer they are divided mainly in two categories:

1. The mixer from direction 2. The mixer for DJ

The mixer from direction

The mixer from direction, to difference of the mixer for dj, they have a remarkable number of channels that goes more or less from the 12 until mixer of 24-36 channels (until 48 and beyond for the workstations from recording study), that they allow the variation of the volumes, the tones, of marks them audio present on that channel. The mixer from direction it moreover allows to address a part of marks them of the single channels towards eventual external effects, like delay, riverberatori, equalizzatori, etc. The mixer from direction mainly they serve for regulating the volumes of the microphones and in order to create an image stereo. The goodness of a mixer is given mainly from the quality of the preamplifiers, the filters, the fader and from the amount of harmonic distortion total, that is of the measure in which every audio device it alters contained in frequency of it marks them.

The Mixer for DJ

The mixer for DJ with the exception of those for direction they introduce audio an inferior number of channels, in fact a mixer for dj to the contrary of a mixer from direction it can only introduce two channels. The mixer for DJ of new generation they have to their inside a DSP of the effects, that is a generator of effects icorporato in the mixer same, that it allows, to the DJ, to add of the external effects to the song that is playing.

Characteristics of a mixer

A mixer one differs from an other for many aspects, number of channels, sensibiltà of the controls for the volume, functions in a generalized manner and amplification or best to say preamplification. The number of peripheral channels determines the number of of reproductions audio, inseribili in the mixer, therefore it determines also the number of audible sounds at the same time. The sensibility of the controls is most important for the mixer from DJ, in fact greater it is the sensibility and above all the morbidezza of the control volume, simpler will be the executions of some effects like the scratch. In the category of the functions the DSP of the effects re-enters as an example. The preamplifier determines the volume of the escape, that is the preamplifier is taken care of, exactly, preamplifying the sound.
