Audio signal flow is the path an audio signal takes from source to output. [1] The concept of audio signal flow is closely related to the concept of audio gain staging; each component in the signal flow can be thought of as a gain stage. In typical home stereo systems, the signal flow is usually short and simple, with only a few components.
Signal flow is the path an audio signal will take from source to the speaker or recording device. Signal flow may be short and simple as in a home audio system or long and convoluted in a recording studio and larger sound reinforcement system as the signal may pass through many sections of a large mixing console, external audio equipment, and even different rooms.
A signal can be equalized (e.g., by adjusting the bass or treble of the sound), compressed (to avoid unwanted signal peaks), or panned (that is sent to the left or right speakers). The signal may also be routed into an external effects processor , such as a reverb effect, which outputs a wet (effected) version of the signal, which is typically ...
In live sound mixing the front of house mixing console often includes a matrix mixer section for optimizing the blend of sound going to various locations in the performance space. Subgroups, auxiliary mixes, submixes or even the main outputs are routed through the matrix mixer to different loudspeaker zones, making the matrix essentially a "mix ...
Panning is the distribution of an audio signal (either monaural or stereophonic pairs) into a new stereo or multi-channel sound field determined by a pan control setting. A typical physical recording console has a pan control for each incoming source channel.
An A/B sound system is a type of sound reinforcement system or public address system. Unlike a more typical sound reinforcement system, an A/B sound system provides two electrically isolated signal paths from microphone to speaker, resulting in a system where signals from two microphones only interact acoustically and never interact electronically.
An Alesis Micro Gate noise gate. A noise gate or simply gate is an electronic device or software that is used to control the volume of an audio signal.Comparable to a limiter, which attenuates signals above a threshold, such as loud attacks from the start of musical notes, noise gates attenuate signals that register below the threshold.

In audio engineering, a bus [1] (alternate spelling buss, plural busses) is a signal path that can be used to combine (sum) individual audio signal paths together.It is typically used to group several individual audio tracks which can be then manipulated, as a group, like another track.
