Metering Signal Levels
You can view signal level meters for input Channels 1 through 20 on
the
CHANNEL EDIT/INPUTS
function page. You can display this function
page by pressing the
[CHANNEL/METER]
key.
Press the
[CHANNEL/METER]
key again to display the
CHANNEL EDIT/OUT-
PUTS
function page. This page includes meters for ADAT Outs, Stereo
Buss Out, Rec Buss Out, Aux Sends, and the Effect Sends.
You can also monitor input channel levels for individual channels on
the corresponding
CH VIEW
and
EQ EDIT
function pages. (You can display
these pages by pressing the
[CH VIEW]
key or the corresponding
[EQ
EDIT]
key.)
The
CH VIEW
function page also displays graphic faders and numerical
values to indicate the level of the AUX Sends and the Effect sends. See
“Viewing Individual Channel, Aux Send, and Effect Send Meters” on
page 106 for more information.
You can also meter stereo output levels by watching the dedicated L/R
or St Buss/Solo LED meters, which are located to the right of the LCD
Display.
The LED meters feature overload (OL) indicators, which light up when
signals clip. If this happens, lower the levels. Otherwise the signal
may distort.
