Meters

The API 2500’s Meters display dBFS. The Gain scale displays the amount of gain reduction during compression with the 0 point located at the far the right, which allows higher gain reduction scale resolution.. The API 2500 is capable of up to 30dB of reduction.

Range

0dB to -24dB (Gain Reduction mode)

-24dB to 0dB (Input and Output modes)

Switchable Display Modes

Range

GR, Out, In

Clip LED

Between the two Meters is a Clip LED which indicates input or output clipping. Since the LED shows both input and output clipping, you must determine which of the two levels is excessive. The Clip LED can be reset by clicking on it.
