What does the audio technician or sound engineer say when testing?

Question

So what do audio technicians say when they turn on the sound system and they're checking mic levels and EQ and such?

In the US we typically say, "Testing, 1,2,3."

Or, "Check, one, two. Check one two."

Or some such thing,

¿Pero que diría el técnico de audio en esta ocasión si lo hablara en español?
