02R Getting Started Guide
Back off the GAIN control a little until the PEAK indicator illuminates very
occasionally. The GAIN control should be set with some care. If it is set too
low, the signal-to-noise performance will suffer, and if it is set too high,
signal clipping and distortion may occur.
/ATT Display Function
If a lot of EQ boost is applied, the signal level may reach CLIP on the
METER page but the PEAK LED may not light up. Instead of lowering the
GAIN control, which would reduce A/D converter efficiency, you can use
the Attenuator function to attenuate the level.
1. Press the [ /ATT] button.
The /ATT 1/1 page shown below appears.
2. Press the [SEL] button for MIC/LINE 1.
3. Use the encoder wheel to attenuate the signal.
On the /ATT page you can attenuate signals and reverse the phase, all in
the digital domain.
Note: You should rarely find it necessary to use the /ATT function on an input
signal after the gain level has been correctly set, but you may need to attenuate
after you apply EQ, effects, or dynamics to the signal.

Peak Hold

1. Use the [METER] button to locate the METER 1/3 page.
2. You may find the Peak Hold function useful at this point. To turn it
on, use the CURSOR buttons to select the PEAK HOLD icon and
press [ENTER]. When the Peak Hold function is on, its icon is
highlighted.
