Mixer is a tool that is used to unify , process and distribute re- processed sound signal . Mixer can be used widely , and not just used to merge combine voice but we can also use to process sounds into better sounds.Many people think that the mixer is not an important part of their sound system indoor and outdoors equipment , and they just buy a cheap mixer that does not comply with what they need . Coupled with the economic conditions as at this time many art and entertainment venues ,
houses of worship and conference hall can not afford to buy a good mixer . Factor is clarity of sound , and accurate adjustment often be overlooked , and this makes a lot of sound system operators become dizzy. Many people who can afford to buy the speakers , power , and other supporting equipment with good quality and the price is expensive , but not to buy a mixer .
A good mixer will of course have a good voice too , and can meet the needs of the sound systems that we install . If we need to plug the system that we still can not be fulfilled , then we can say the mixer is still not good for our system . Although the mixer has a very good quality and of course the price is quite expensive . In this case we must also consider the usability and of course the ability of the person who will use it . Mixer with a variety of facilities would be utilized if the people who use it do not know exactly what he was using. However, please take into account all of us, the quality of the sound system that we put not only depend on the mixer , but also of many other components .You can found about My article which discusses briefly about the existing functionality in the mixer in general in http://tomshomerecord.com/2013/04/function-per-channel-input-on-mixer.html Mixer is a tool which is quite complicated so , it often is quite expensive , we could even exchange a pretty good mixer with a luxury home .
In the era of highly developed as today we can categorize mixer based on various categories . One category is quite large and includes a variety of other categories are ; digital and analog mixer mixer . Digital mixer is the mixer through which the signal processing in digital form or in the form of digital data . While the mixer is a mixer that processes analog signals in analog form through which or by changing the magnitude of the variable electric current through it .
Digital mixer is not always the form of virtual or hardware we can only see the computer screen only, but many were hardware her or we can hold our sets . Mixer so we have to keep call digital mixer that although there are many buttons should we set analogously . Which is superior ? Generally this question is in our minds . There are still many people who think they are superior analog sound of the digital voice , digital voice indeed that we hear in the 1980s when it first came out a new cd still far behind the analog sound . However, digital sound available today has jumped far ahead and has smoothness and clarity of sound even better of course .
Another advantage of the digital mixer is that we can keep all the adjustments that we set at the mixer in the form of digital data . And can even save every moment adjustment that will go through on the day. Besides, we can also save setting equalizer , gate , compressor , and special effect for an individual or a particular musical instrument . It allows us the time we need it , so as to restore it to the setting that we want only takes a few seconds.
In this comparison is not only the sound quality but also into consideration the ease of use as well as other supporting facilities that we can use in the mixer . Such as the existence of a compressor, gate , audio delay , a full parametric equalizer , even today there are already adding graphics equlizer inside the mixer . So buy a digital mixer with these amenities will save substantial funds , only the operator is required to visualize the virtual mixer .
Mixer can be divided by type of use , there are several classifications mixer based on type of use ,as follows:
1. Live Mixer Main
It is a common mixer that we use to live another display , this mixer serves to mixing signals sent from the stage , to be processed and sent to the other sound control devices and then to the speakers . Actually, this mixer can also function simultaneously to monitor mixing stage , only for flexibility in stage people often add a monitor mixer .
The fundamental difference of this mixer with the mixer monitor is a monitor mixer aux amount more . While the main live mixer generally buss or output in the form or matrix present in greater numbers than the monitor mixer .
2. Live Monitor Mixer
As already mentioned above , there are several major differences between the live mixer with live monitor mixer . Live mixer monitors generally have pretty much Auxillary output , aux Yamaha has up to 12 pieces , or even Allen & health with 16 aux .
This facility is provided by each monitor for listeners often want certain sounds are there to the monitor . This mixer is usually placed beside the stage so close to the users of these facilities are located on the stage .
3. Recording mixer
Many different recording mixer live mixer , the mixer is generally added facility to move the input flip that goes into the mixer . Filp used to switch the input source to the output of the tape recorder , is intended to make it easier at the time to record and mix down .
Modern recording mixer now also equipped with a surround channel mixing transform . Another addition is the Midi Machine Control or buttons to control the recording device or even software for recording .
4. Matrix Mixer
The modern form of the mixer is equipped with sotfware or we can control the computer . Previous mixer in the form of buttons just to combine voice to the place we desire , coupled with the gain pot . This mixer is much more enabled to place that has a lot of room and want a different use and the sound generated from each speaker in each space a different voice .
This mixer can distribute the signal from one room to another to know even combine the entire room with 1 piece of sound sources . This mixer is generally placed in the control room audio and video in a building .
5. Automatic Mixer
This is the mixer that works to turn on or off automatically based on the calculation microphone NOM or the number of open microphones or many open microphone at the same time . This mixer used at sites that do not require the operator , a case of simple houses of worship , courtrooms , and others .
This mixer will turn off microhone are not used and turn on instantly microhone used when talking ,the feedback can be avoided .
6. Zone Mixer
Zone mixer mixer is used to mixing variety of sources and pass it to certain areas . Its use is similar except that the matrix mixer mixer zone also added some other facilities that can support its use . One of them is usually lack of facilities for paging channel or to call people , this facility is equipped with a gate that will work suppress the background song being played so that calls are voiced through the microphone becomes clear background sounds and songs became smaller volume.
Other amenities is the volume of the sound signal channel to a different zone . On the input channel usually there is also a button to select a zone , so that we can enter into a certain sound or just zone into another zone . Therefore, this mixer is widely used for restaurant , office buildings , and others .
7. Sub Mixer
This mixer is used when we need an extra channel , or can be some bands want to perform in one of our events without the hassle of changing the main mixer setup . Other uses are to be used for the keyboard player who plays some keyboards and sound modules fruit , even though he only had a monitor amplifier . Or even we want to combine multiple sound sources into 2 channel stereo channels alone or alone .
We can use a small mixer ordinary mixer to big for this application , and does not need a mixer with a special form for this application .
8. Line Level Mixer
This mixer only can we use to combine with impedance line level signal , and not for me - mixing microhone . In general, this mixer used as a sub mixer . In general shape of the mixer is only one rack unit only.
9. DJ Mixer
Shape of the mixer is diverse and varied, from the mixer to scratch dj mixer for club up . What distinguishes this mixer with other mixers is the addition to the cross-fade . Cross fade is used to move the channel we are used to another channel we want to put in a mixer , cross fader will move at the pace we are moving the cross fader .
10. Splitter Mixer
This mixer is a sub- mixer or line level mixer , can only function as a splitter , the signal splitter .
11. Broadcast mixer
This is probably the most different types of mixers both in dead end and its use . In this mixer there is a button to change the existing parameters , usually on offer in the mixer .
houses of worship and conference hall can not afford to buy a good mixer .

Similarly, the topic this time I created, will certainly add to our knowledge in the world indoors and outdoors sound system in general and about the one piece of equipment that is very supportive in the world of art and entertainment on support equipment in particular ... May we increasingly understand and to know more deeply about the type of mixer .... thanks
