5.4 Monitoring the Output Signals

5.4.1 Meters - peak

Each of the eight outputs has an 11-segment signal meter for monitoring internal signal clipping and

output levels that may cause damage to the loudspeaker equipment.

The top segment (illuminated in diagram left) monitors the internal signal clipping. It

operates independently of the rest of the meter, illuminating if signal clipping is detected at

any stage in the processing circuits regardless of whether the level of the final processed

signal is above or below the compressor and/or limiter thresholds. Hence, the audio engineer

has full visibility of any internal signal clipping that may result in audio distortion.

The 0 to –40 dBu signal meter is primarily designed to monitor the output level with respect

to excessive levels that may cause damage to the onward loudspeaker equipment.

5.4.2 Meters – gain reduction

Both the Compressor and Limiter panels of the Dyn. screen show the gain reduction using a 10-segment

meter.

5.4.3 Output Response graph

The Output Response graph– accessed by pressing the button shown left on the HELIX

DN9848E Units Home screen (see section 3.4.3 page 25) - lets you view a graph of

the output channels’ PEQ, filter and dynamics settings, in any combination. Each

output channel on the graph is colour-coded for ease of identification. The tick boxes

allow you to switch the graph of each output on or off.

Additionally, you can select filter and PEQ options for the selected outputs in the Filter Sections box.
