[0002] A mixing console, also known as a sound mixing control panel, amplifies, mixes, distributes, modifies, and processes multiple input signals, before outputting them through the master bus. Mixing consoles are essential equipment in modern radio broadcasting, stage sound reinforcement, and audio program production systems for broadcasting and recording programs. Faders are a crucial component of a mixing console, primarily used for volume output control. Fader keys are mounting brackets for the faders, facilitating stable adjustment. However, current mixing console fader keys lack illumination, requiring a desk lamp for lighting in dark environments, which is inconvenient. Some mixing consoles include DJ lights, but these are not universally compatible, are costly, and hinder the widespread adoption of mixing consoles. Therefore, to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
