The signal source points for input and output meters can be set on HOME page 5. Stereo output levels can be metered using the main stereo meters or the meters on HOME page 4. A Peak Hold function can be set globally for all meters. Meters for input channels 17 through 24 and the eight digital outputs (Option I/O) are available on the OPTION pages. All meters feature a CLIP indicator, which lights up when signals clip. If this happens, back off the levels, otherwise signal distortion may occur.
