Pro Sound Web: The term “gain staging” refers to setting the voltage at the input and output of every device along a signal chain.
In other words, it’s setting the amount of “gain” that occurs at each “stage” of the signal path. In ABC gain staging, the engineer is looking to have the voltage at each point in the path coming in at a range known as “nominal operating level.” This is the level where the device functions optimally.

This article is a super simplified walkthrough of gain staging however it definitely gets the job done for your entry level Sound Engineer. As someone who knew everything that was being said in the article it was easy to follow along and even pick up a few useful pointers along the way. I like the way that the article simply concludes itself by pointing out its exact point, that allowed me to go back and reread a couple of sentences and get a better idea of what the author is talking about.
