Frequently Asked Questions About Analogue Mixing Desks
Mic inputs provide preamplification and phantom power for microphones, while line inputs handle signals already at line level, like synthesizers or pre-recorded audio.
Many engineers prefer analogue desks for their perceived sonic characteristics and the tactile feel of hands-on control, believing it fosters a more intuitive creative process.
Headroom represents the available space before the desk's output signal distorts; more headroom allows for louder signals and greater dynamic range without clipping.
