level meter
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
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-
LED to light.
Then the channel gain should reduced.
signal level LED’s
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
This green-LED varies in brightness in response to signal levels
between -40 dB and -6 dB.
