W
Wet
If a signal has been mixed with an effect, it is said to be wet. If there is no
uneffected signal present, the signal is 100% wet. Many processors have
controls to let you set the wet/dry ratio; a processor used on a send or aux
is usually set to 100% wet.
Word clock (WC)
Used to synchronize multiple digital devices. Commonly used to connect
a master clock to all devices in a studio to ensure that they are in sample
accurate sync. Word clocks are connected via 75 Ω BNC cables, and must
be terminated for proper operation. All Metric Halo interfaces feature self-
terminating WC connectors.
X
XLR
A professional, locking connector that (usually) has three conductors and
carries a balanced signal; Ground on pin 1, “Hot” or “Plus” on pin 2 and
“Cold” or “Minus” on pin 3. Male XLR connectors are used for outputs and
females for inputs.
