The lamp beads 11 on the right lamp board Ⅱ9 change in four levels from low to high to turn red and light up in sequence from the bottom to the cover.

[0043] In other modes, the lamp beads 11 on the light board Ⅰ8 that are opposite to the light hole group Ⅰ3 and the light control group Ⅱ are gradually lit up from the center position of the light hole group Ⅰ3 and the light control group Ⅱ as the sound of the left and right channels increases from small to large, and the other lamp beads 11 are displayed in the form of breathing lights. The left knob 23 on the circuit board 10 is the microphone volume adjustment knob 23. The knob 23 adjusts the microphone volume from small to large. The lamp beads 11 corresponding to the light hole Ⅰ start to light up red light from the center position and light up gradually to the left direction to display the scale information of the rotation. The right knob 23 is the headphone volume adjustment knob 23. The knob 23 adjusts the microphone volume from small to large. The lamp beads 11 corresponding to the light hole Ⅱ start to light up blue light from the center position and light up gradually to the right direction to display the scale information of the rotation.

[0044] The light switch button sets an interrupt instruction through the sixteenth pin of the main control chip 30 to control the switch of the light board I8, the light board II9 and the lamp beads 11 on the circuit board 10.
