The mic mixer block (figure 5-8), an array of points where mic audio can be mixed
into the output audio, provides a way to unmute and mute the normally muted
inputs from the mic/line input signal processor chain. Unmuting effectively
mixes the mic inputs into the audio outputs at the level set in the left and right mix
controls.
