Introduction

The FineLine audio mixer is an expansion of MIDIMAN’s Minimixer con-
cept of “mixing at the source.” This concept is that the mixer’s primary
function is to combine many audio signals in the most quiet, transparent
manner possible. Control of signal levels, relative mix of instruments,
panning, frequency equalization, and effects is then accomplished prima-
rily within the instruments themselves, as is now the case with most mod-
ern synthesizers. For older keyboards and microphones, outboard pro-
cessing gear can be used to add these features. This new concept offers
many advantages over the traditional mixing console such as smaller size,
lower cost, and less noise.
