APPENDIX Glossary
AES/EBU
Professional Digital Input/Output standard, using balanced XLR
cables.
S/PDIF
Consumer Digital in/out standard, normally using coaxial RCA
type cables or Lightpipe.
DITHERING
Dithering is a method to optimize the quality of a Digital audio
signal at low levels. A small amount of filtered noise is added to
the signal, giving you a less distorted low level signal.
If you are using Digital Outputs, the equipment you feed
determines the number of bits. A DAT or CDR recorder should
always be Dithered to 16 bit.
PRO/CON LEVELS
Depending on type of equipment you are using along with the
Finalizer, you must set the PRO/CON parameters correctly in the
I/O setup menu.
Finalizer Analog Inputs:
Consumer range: -16dB to +10dB, nominal level = -10dB
Professional range: -6dB to +16dB, nominal level = +4dB
Finalizer Analog Outputs:
Consumer range: -10dB to +16dB
Professional range: -16dB to +6dB
The levels are either listed in the technical specifications or
printed on the rear panel of the connected devices.
De-essing
An algorithm that removes unwanted esses or sibilance from
vocal material.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MIDI COMMANDS
Device-dependent MIDI commands, normally used for remote
controlling machines.
Pre-emphasis
Pre-emphasis is used during broadcast to boost the high
frequency area. The receiving device compensates by attenuating
the same frequency area.
