Any point in the signal flow of a mixing console where the audio can be brought out of and re introduced into the console
Patch points
The maximum instantaneous power of voltage level of a signal.
Peak level
A feature found on most recording/ mixing consoles that enables the mixing engineer to preview the signal coming in to the input on monitor speakers or headphones while the channel fader is down and no signal is feeding the recorder or the stereo buses.
Pre Fader Listen
A multi channel recording procedure whereby several recorded tracks are played back in sync mode combined and re-recorded onto any open track. This is usually done to make additional tracks available and may be repeated
Ping Pong
The perceived frequency of a sound.
Pitch
Refers to the signal point after the equalizer in a mixer or console.
Post EQ
Refers to the signal point after the fader in a mixer or console.
Post fader
Helps amplify mic signals into line level signal
Pre amplifier
Refers to the signal point preceding the equalizer in a mixer or console.
Pre EQ
Refers to the signal point preceding the fader in a mixer or console
