Summary:The invention is an audio mixer ( 100 ) for prioritizing audio channels. The mixer can include a plurality of audio channels ( 110 )-in which each channel can be capable of carrying an audio signal-and can include at least one output ( 114 ). The number of outputs can be less than the number of channels and the stage ( 116 ) immediately following the output is an output stage. Each channel can include an audio shaper ( 122 ) that modifies the audio signals of the channels and can include a priority database ( 126 ). The channels can be ranked in the priority database based on their priority in relation to one another. Control logic ( 128 ) of a highest ranked channel (N) can signal the audio shapers to modify the audio signals on at least some of the lower ranked channels ( 1, 2 ) in accordance with a predetermined priority response.
