This is the main audio desk used in the studio. The power switch can be found by reaching down the back right of the mixer. It's round. | ||

Typically, two [[Compressor|compressors]] are connected to the L+R outputs, with more compressors inserted into each microphone channel using the helpfully named 'INSERT' sockets. The matrices outputs feed the control room amplifier, and any two of auxes 3-6 can be used to feed the studio amp if 3+4 are switched to post-fader. The [[computing:VT Server | VT server]] (magic video box), [[Ystvedit2 | edit desk]], [[Computing:IMac | Mac]], and whatever else we happen to be using to play [[hist:University Radio York|URY]] on are usually connected to the desk in stereo - either through a stereo channel (blue fader) or a pair of mono channels with their "pan" knobs turned fully left and fully right. | ||
