Mixer Guide
 
Gain
 
On any good size mixer there will be a knob at the very top (first one in the strip) labeled "Gain" or "Sens" or "Trim." The gain knob sets the "input volume". Gain should be used just like any other control knob: to set the kind of sound you want and the quality, not volume. Additionally, any gain changes will also affect the sound in the monitors or other aux’s.
 
Equalization
 
Equalization refers to the control (boosting, cutting) of certain frequencies to achieve a better sound or to eliminate feedback or unwanted noises. The EQ section of most mixers will be located right under the gain control, and can consist of anything from 1 to 13+ knobs or 3 to 33 sliders.
 
Tone Knob: One knob that, when turned clockwise boosts high frequencies and lowers low, and vice versa.

3 Band: Consists of bass and treble knobs or Low - Mid - High knobs.
