level meter

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

peak indicator—PK

LED The input signal is monitored at several points throughout the channel. These points are the mic preamp, the EQ stage and the fader stage. Overloads at any of these stages will cause the red peak-LED to 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.
