Output Meters
The C1000's Output Meters indicate the Output Voltage
available at the MAIN and SPKR OUTPUT 1 & 2 Jacks to
drive Power Amplifiers. Refer to figure 70. The Meters are
calibrated in dB
(decibels) and re-
spond to all the
peaks contained in
the musical infor-
mation. They indi-

of at least 95% of
a single cycle from a 2000Hz tone burst.
The Meter Electronic Circuitry "Time Stretches" the

moderate decay rate.
