Course: Entertainment Design and Technology (05056-III) > Section: Understanding Audio Equipment

Identification should include

- the sections of an audio mixer (e.g., outputs, inputs, faders, gain-staging, meter, auxiliary busses)
- signal flow
- audio processing (e.g., equalizers, filters, compressors)
- pads
- phantom power.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can the signal meters on an audio mixer be used to establish proper gain structure?
- How do different input devices dictate the need for pads or phantom power?
