Fiesta Oyster Bake Part 2

The question I'm most often asked is "Do you really know
what all those knobs and switches do?"
The answer is yes.
If I didn't, I wouldn't be able to do my job.

Besides the mixing console shown here, there are also racks
full of outboard gear like compressors, EQs and digital delays
patched into individual channels. A realtime analyzer
displays the sound pressure levels of each 1/3rd octave
across the audio spectrum, and a laptop computer shows the
status of each of the amps under the stage.

Power amps stage right.
Fifty thousand watts here, and a duplicate rack of amps
is on the other side of the stage, too.
