Sound mixers can be looked at at two different sections; the input section and the monitoring section.

The input section is where the signal that is going to be recorded is sent. And the monitoring section is where you can listen back to what you are creating. With this, there are two types of hardware mixing consoles that have different arrangements of these sections. There are in-line mixing consoles and split mixing consoles. Split mixing consoles have both of these sections on two different sides of the desk while inline consoles contain both sections inside the same channel strip.
