1.2.2 Terminology
I/O modules on the STATUS 18R incorporate a Channel Path (CHAN) and a Mix Path
(MIX). This can cause confusion when referring to the Channel Path on a given “Channel”
of the console. The terms “Track” and “Group” have a similar problem. When used
alone, the words “Track”, “Group” and “Channel” should read in context of the section
they are used in.
Where possible the following convention will be used when referring to Channels, Tracks
and Groups:
• Channel: Used by itself, Channel usually refers to a single audio path on a console or
tape machine.
• Path: A Path refers the route that a signal follows through the Input Module. This could
be the Channel or Mix Path.
• Channel or Chan Path: Refers to the signal path on an I/O module that is normally
used for assigning to the Track Outputs. This path is controlled by the upper fader and
is color coded Light Green.
• Mix Path: Refers to the signal path on an I/O module that is normally used for mixing
because it is closest to the engineer. This path is controlled by the lower fader and is
color coded Violet.
