Additive mixers add two or more signals, giving out a composite signal that contains the frequency components of each of the source signals.The simplest additive mixers are resistor networks, and thus purely passive, while more complex matrix mixers employ active components such as buffer amplifiers for impedance matching and better isolation.
A mixer (mixing console, mixing desk, mixing board, or software mixer) is the operational heart of the mixing process. [10] Mixers offer a multitude of inputs, each fed by a track from a multitrack recorder. Mixers typically have 2 main outputs (in the case of two-channel stereo mixing) or 8 (in the case of surround).
In a passive mixer, the desired output signal is always of lower power than the input signals. Active mixers use an amplifying device (such as a transistor or vacuum tube) that may increase the strength of the product signal. Active mixers improve isolation between the ports, but may have higher noise and more power consumption. An active mixer ...
A passive mixer consists of just resistors (incrementally passive), whereas an active mixer includes components capable of gain (active). In audio work one can also find both (incrementally) passive and active converters between balanced and unbalanced lines.

Active and passive investing each have some positives and negatives, but the vast majority of investors are going to be best served by taking advantage of passive investing through an index fund.
A monitor engineer and console at an outdoor event. Live sound mixing is the blending of multiple sound sources by an audio engineer using a mixing console or software. Sounds that are mixed include those from instruments and voices which are picked up by microphones (for drum kit, lead vocals and acoustic instruments like piano or saxophone and pickups for instruments such as electric bass ...
