Sound Desk- Yamaha MG32/14FXThere are 24 channels in the desk. There are 24 mono inputs and 12 stereo inputs because a stereo needs 2 inputs because there is a left and a right.
This is the gauge. This is controlled by the gain. If you turn the gain and the lights go to red, then the gain is too high and needs to be turned down so the light is either orange or green.
This is the master fader. This controls all the other faders on the desk and should be put on 0.
This is the gain. This controls how much sound is sent to the desk from the sound source.
This is the EQ. these control the high, the mid and the low frequency.
These are the auxiliary and these control each monitor individually.
This is the pan. It is used to send sound left or right using stereo inputs. If it is panned to the left, the sound will go to the left speaker and if it is panned all the way to the right, the sound will go to the right speaker. If it is in the centre, the sound will go to both speakers.
This is the fader. This controls the volume . The higher the fader is, the louder the volume will be.
These are the effects. These control the reverb, the delay and the echo.
These are the pre-set buttons which control the amount of effect.
