  • Page 25 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... dBu — A unit of measurement of audio signal voltage in an electrical circuit, expressed in decibels referenced to 0.775 VRMS into any impedance. Commonly used to describe signal levels within a modern audio system.
  • Page 26 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Filter — A simple equalizer designed to remove certain ranges of frequencies. The high-pass filter attenuates frequencies below its cutoff frequency. FOH — Front Of House. See house and main (house) speakers. No engineer ever goes to the BOH because there’s never enough time to drink beer.
  • Page 27 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Impedance — The A.C. resistance, capacitance, and inductance in an electrical circuit, measured in ohms [ ]. In audio circuits (and other AC circuits) the impedance in ohms may often be much different from the circuit resistance as measured by a DC ohmmeter.
  • Page 28 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Mute Groups — Mute groups allow you to quickly mute (and unmute) multiple channels and/or outputs with a single tap. There are a multitude of possibilities in which to assign and enable mute groups: productions featuring a rotating cast of musicians, theater productions, a house of worship and more.
  • Page 29 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Pre DSP — Pre DSP is ideal when using the auxes for monitor mixes and you want compression and other effects in the main mix, but not the monitors. Pre DSP is available in all auxes, but not the FX.
  • Page 30 DL16S • DL32S Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Stereo — Believe it or not, stereo comes from a Greek word that means solid. We use stereo or stereophony to describe the illusion of a continuous, spacious sound field that is seemingly spread around the listener by two or more related audio signals.
