What are the advantages of the Haman digital mixer over the traditional analog mixer?

For those who specialize in audio production, the console will not be unfamiliar, but the type of mixer is divided into analog mixer and digital mixer division, while the mixer is referred to as we generally refers to the analog signal mixer. What is the difference between analog and digital mixer? And what are the characteristics and performance of digital mixer? The following for one by one analysis.

The difference between digital and analog mixer mixer: digital mixer was born in experience based on the analog mixer, people familiar with the operation simulation platform, so the control panel design and simulation platform for many digital mixer is very similar, but the nature of their signal processing is different. The main function of analog mixer is the audio signal processing, analog audio signal is continuous, in addition to magnification, complete the general distribution, mixing, transport, there are the following several main functions: (1) level and impedance matching; (2) signal amplification and frequency equalization; (3) dynamic processing; (4) signal distribution and mixing; (5) to create special effects, according to the needs, sometimes through the peripheral auxiliary equipment for special treatment. The main function of digital mixer is also the audio signal processing, but the processing object is specific to digital signal sampling, quantization, encoding has been after, these signals include audio and control signals of two parts, digital mixer through a wider range of the signal processing program algorithm, control circuit and signal processing circuit of digital all digital mixer, digital audio signal through the interface to the file (or data) transmission, the control knob, switch, clipper is no longer the actual audio signal of traditional analog mixer, but control signal digital algorithm, digital mixer for signal processing is more flexible and more accurate display, process and effect of image. For example, up only in the dynamic range of the parameters, usually analog audio system after a series of treatment, the dynamic range is about 60dB, while the internal operation in 32bit digital mixer, the dynamic range can reach 168~192dB. It can be said that the effect of a digital mixer is similar to the full function of an audio workstation, including hardware structure and software processing.

Analog mixer is a conventional mixer, so it does not emphasize the simulation of the word directly called mixer. Digital mixer is the use of digital technology in the development of the mixer, the mixer is its essence and characteristics, digital is its characteristic, so the digital mixer in the design ideas are completely equivalent to conventional mixer, but due to the use of digital technology in the digital mixer, mixer are up to higher standards, implementation in the conventional function more flexible, and the digital mixer adds some analog mixer can realize new function and processing method.

Ls9-16 advantage: the key features of digital mixer is digital, summed up digital mixer has the following unique functions and features: 1, audio processing link unit to increase the number of digital mixer is provided with time delay in the shunt and / or total path (device), pressure limit (device). This is the general setting unit, analog mixer which can not be achieved, is equivalent to increasing the number of peripheral equipment from the broken socket access console, makes brief and functional configuration of sound system. Audio processing, audio database 2 in equilibrium, pressure limit, in effect process of many existing sources, according to the different occasions, the features of the standard signal processing mode for call program. Although this is similar to the fool the camera, not completely copy, because of the different program source and field always has its particularity, can not be absolutely the same, after all the way to general mode but, on this basis can be adjusted. In addition, the database is equivalent to the role of textbooks and data, provides a variety of processing parameters. 3, each link is stored in the local memory tuning, balance, pressure limit, machine effect link has certain user program space, processing parameters can be used to store all kinds of user to adjust; in general, some digital mixer settings (Scene) program memory storage space, can be used to store the current state including the parameters of equilibrium, pressure limit, the machine level, the total effect and the shunt way level etc., so the fixed program for some regular performance can have a relatively stable tuning standard. There is also a digital mixer in the two storage scene conversion can be set to push and / or push in the two scene in different positions of the conversion time, which can produce the effect of automatic fade in and fade out. 4, the mixer within each link flexible exchange of such functions in different mixer has a greater difference, but it is the use of digital signal processing means to achieve flexible. For example, the change of the level indicator, the two input signal exchange path, the direct grouping and the mute grouping, and the control state of the shunt to the other branches. 5, multi function and intuitive display

Because it is a digital signal, although only one optical cable, but also to achieve multiple input or output, extending the input and output channels. 7, can realize the MIDI function digital mixer can realize the function of MIDI, the so-called MIDI electronic musical instrument digital interface (MIDI). The original intention of MIDI is only the connection between electronic musical instruments and electronic musical instruments and computers, but also includes the connection between digital audio equipment and electronic musical instruments and computers. By connecting the control information, information and equipment between the keyboard keys to reflect the music notes, timbre, rhythm, chord parameters such as digital interface for the transmission of the MIDI, to achieve the sound synthesis composing, multi tracking tasks. Some used analog mixer professionals often do not feel easy, because one of the biggest disadvantage of digital mixer is some function as analog mixer that directly reflected on the panel, some of the keys have different roles in different conditions can be achieved by changing the interface, there must be some function a call, digital mixer of different types in the function call operation is also different. Therefore, if you are not familiar with the model in the field of digital mixer will be a problem. In fact, digital mixer is not difficult to grasp, as previously mentioned, digital mixer is a mixer, as long as the real master mixer, can analyze the basic console, function and operation from the mixer signal flow diagram, then the characteristics of the digital part of the console or the law.
