foldback

Foldback: speaker placed on stage so artists can hear themselves.

This may or may not include running the foldback sound.

Ringing out is particularly important when mixing monitors, or foldback.

Despite this foldback is still often implemented in them.

In British English, the monitor system is referred to as the "foldback".

This is especially useful in the presence of foldback monitors (stage wedges).

In this system, the split point could be connected to the foldback desk, via another multicore.

SOA curves are also important in the design of foldback circuits.

Interruptible foldback, such as for remote broadcasting, is also possible over subcarriers, though its role is limited.

In addition to The Series 1S added a second foldback send and was available in a 20 channel version.

In concert he is often seen wearing a pair of headphones gaffer-taped to his head for foldback, as in the image to the right.

Foldback or Monitor engineer - a person running foldback sound during a live event.

Foldback keeps the output transistor within its power dissipation limits under fault and overload conditions.

When overcurrent is drawn by the load, foldback reduces both the output voltage and current to well below the normal operating limits.

Also it differs from the other amplifiers as it is angled like a wedge-shaped foldback speaker.

It featured 4 outputs, Main stereo plus a post-fader 'echo' send and pre-fader foldback.

A foldback current limiter reduces the output current to much less than the maximum non-fault current.

Foldback may refer to:

The term "foldback" is sometimes applied to in-ear monitoring systems, also described as artist's cue-mixes, as they are generally set up for individual performers.

The prime purpose of foldback current limiting in linear power supplies is to keep the output transistor within its safe power dissipation limit.

Coaxial loudspeakers have been used in concerts for on-stage foldback duties, giving musicians a more even sound field because of the single-source characteristic.

The returns allow for the sending of line level audio from the sound desk to the stage for foldback and FOH.

In situations with poor or absent foldback mixes, vocalists may end up singing off-tune or out of time with the band.

The employment of loudspeakers used for foldback may have been developed independently by sound engineers in different cities who were trying to resolve this problem during the 1960s.

In total the pedal offers 21 different distortion types ranging from standard distortion to synth-like octave and foldback distortions.
