Channel Input Strip
The input strip is usually separated into these sections:
- Input jacks
- Microphone preamplifiers
- equalization
- Dynamics processing (e.g. dynamic range compression, gating)
- Routing including direct outs, aux-sends, panning control and subgroup assignments
- Input Faders
On many consoles, these sections are color coded for quick identification by the operator. Each signal that is input into the mixer has its own channel. Depending on the specific mixer, each channel is stereo or monaural. On most mixers, each channel has an XLR input, and many have RCA or quarter-inch TRS phone connector line inputs.
