Using Normal & Fine Metering
Track meters function in one of two modes: Normal or Fine. In Normal mode, the
meter range is from –60 dB to 0 dB. In Fine mode, it’s from –26 dB to 0 dB.
Fine mode is useful for accurate level setting when recording reference tones at –10,
–14, –18, or –20 dB, but can also be used for precise metering with normal recording.
The normal and fine meter modes are set using the Level Meter function.
