level meter

LEDLEDLEDLEDLED Each input includes a five-segment LED meter for visually monitoring signal levels.This is essential for setting up and main- taining proper gain structure.

peak indicator—PK

LED The input signal is monitored at several points throughout the chan- nel.These points are the mic preamp, the EQ stage and the fader stage. Overloads at any of these stages will cause the red peak-LEDto light. Then the channel gain should reduced.

signal level LED’s

LED These three LED's light up at +8—yellow, 0—green, and -6 dB— green. This level range -6 to +8 is the optimum operating range. Compressed or relatively constant signals should remain close to 0.

signal present indicator—SIG

LED This green-LED varies in brightness in response to signal levels between -40 dB and -6 dB.

Occasional flashing of the

®

peak LED is acceptable,

 

but frequent flashes indi-

 

cate that channel levels

 

 

must be lowered.

 

 

If the channel peak

+

LED is illuminated,

first try lowering

the input gain control.

Only when this method is unsuccessful should the pad switch be engaged.
