Mixing Console: The Input Strip

mixer Mixing Console: The Input StripAn important piece of the puzzle is knowing how and where signal flows in your console, being able to Imagine an invisible signal that you can trace with your finger over your mixing console will put you ahead. An input strip is the first part of a mixing console and once you understand one strip you can sit confidently behind a 42 track console. This area serves as preamp because signal coming from a microphone is low (-45 to -55db) and requires a low noise amp be used to raise or match various mic levels so signal can flow at an optimum level through the console. Remember, signal starts at the top and moves down the input strip.

The first little knob in the input channel is the gain knob. Before I move on depending on manufacturer, designs, etc every button on a mixing console can have multiple names for the same thing. So maybe your mixer says Trim instead of gain it doesn’t matter, that goes for all other buttons as well but I assure you, they all do the exact same thing. Gain increases the signal strength of inputs to a favorable level that can be processed and mixed. Gain can be tricky to get perfect because too much gain will cause clipping and not enough can introduce noise. A good little trick to start finding gain levels is by rehearsing the loudest part of a recording and set your gain levels at a point where it is just about to clip.

Once gain has been adjusted, that boosted signal moves on to the auxiliary sends. Sends is an area that moves signal to outboard effects, microphone mixes, output sends and basically anything else you can think of. While most signal flow moves from top to bottom auxiliary sends signal moves horizontally through all the input strips to create a sub mix of any or various input signals. The only input channels that will be affected are the ones that have turned the aux knob. For example you could turn up the auxiliary sends of a guitar microphone on one input channel and a keyboard on a separate input channel and move those two signals to a reverb unit.
