Interactive diagrams: club gear explained

Your first time in a club booth, the gear can be intimidating. The interactive diagrams show real photos of the standard club players and mixers: tap any button, fader or knob and learn what it does, when to use it and what to watch out for. You arrive at the gig already knowing where everything is.
