The document discusses the different sections of a mixing console, including the input section, routing, auxiliaries, equalization, channel path, and tape return path. The input section contains controls for the microphone and line inputs like gain, phantom power, filters. The routing matrix routes signals to tape or group faders. Auxiliaries are used to send signals to effects units or monitor mixes. The equalization section provides tone controls. The channel path and tape return path control signals from the mic input and tape, respectively.
