7.1 Meters
Two high precision moving coil Peak Meters read the audio levels selected by the Main Monitor rotary switch, offering a wide range of 44dB from
The upper meter shows the Left channel or the phase correlation, The lower meter shows the Right channel or the battery level.
When any P/A button is depressed, the meters show the corresponding AFL/PFL signal
7.1.1 ST / M / Low Batt switch
This 3 positions switch lets you choose the operating mode of the Meters.
ST ( stereo ) : the meters display on a conventional way the Left and Right audio.
M ( mono ) : the upper or Left meter shows the phase correlation of the selected mix to easily detect a phase error and check for mono compatibility. The lower or Right meter reads the highest level of either the L or R channel. The two red Led's between the meters indicate which one of the Left or the Right peak signal is being displayed.
Low Batt : Press the switch to its momentary left most position to check the battery level. The lower will then indicate the average voltage per cell.
7.1.2 Meter's Backlight switch
This three positions switch allows you to dim or to turn off the backlight of the two moving coil meters:
OFF position: | Backlights are OFF. |
MID position: | Medium backlight intensity (dim). |
HI position: | Maximum backlight intensity. |
7.1.3 LEDS switches
Two switches between the Meters define the operation mode and intensity of all Led's and Bargraph meters present in the console.
The left switch sets the LED's intensity:
LO position: | Minimum (low) LED’s light intensity. |
MID position: | Medium LED’s light intensity. |
HI position: | Maximum (high) LED’s light intensity. |
The right switch sets the operating mode of the meters: | |
DOT position: | only the LED of the corresponding level is lighting to show the level |
OFF position: | all meters are turned OFF. |
BAR position: | peak meters operate as Bargraph |
7.1.4 ON AIR and MUTE Leds ( SX-VT series only )
On Air signalling and Monitor Mute are two functions commonly found in Broadcast applications. These functionalities can be activated by the dip switches located under the channel fader on each input module.
When a channel is turned ON, the On Air and/or the Mute functions will be activated as soon as the Channel Fader is opened. The On Air and Mute signaling Led's will light On accordingly.
