The bottom row of white knobs above each yellow XLR cable controls the volume. Adjust these as necessary. (If a mic is left “on”, you’ll want to turn the volume up and down as needed for that mic.)

The red knob is the master control for all audio. (In an emergency to reduce feedback, you can turn this down until you figure out which mic needs to be turned down independently.)
