  • Page 13: Overview

    Console Features Overview The AIR 1 console consists of an input section with eight faders and associated switches, monitor and headphone section with two faders and associated switches. The basic purpose of the console is to take some of the many audio signals that are wired to the console inputs, and generate several outputs that combine these inputs in various groups and at various degrees of loudness, or signal strength.
