Setting the Channel Level
The Channel Level control is a vertical slider that is adjusted in 1-dB increments and con-
trols the output level for the channel. The Channel Levels can range from -60 to 12 dB. If
you place the mouse over the slider, the numerical value of the level appears.
Signal LEDs, Clip LED, and VU Meters
Each input channel has one or more input signal LEDs, Clip LED, and two vertical volume
unit (VU) meters, labeled "IN" and "OUT".
The green input signal LEDs automatically illuminate when a signal is being received. The
red
Clip
LED automatically illuminates when the signal is clipping (i.e., exceeding a pre-
defined threshold). Clipping can result in distortion and, for output signals, can even
damage speakers. Note that the specific level and duration that a signal must reach in
order to trigger the input signal LED can be configured via the
The "IN" VU meter indicates the strength of the channel's input signal (after gain adjust-
ments), while the "OUT" VU meter indicates the strength of the channel's output signal.
The VU meter not only illuminates green, yellow, or red (depending on the signal level),
but also has a scale ranging from -60 to 0 dB to indicate the actual signal level.
Table 9, DSP Features
Allows you to provide names and colors for the input and
output channels.
Allows you to specify the signal level at which the signal
LED will be lit, as well as how long it will remain lit.
Allows the amplifier to automatically put itself in a low
power standby mode when there is little or no signal.
Provides real-time status for the amplifier, including for
which mode (2-channel or single-channel bridge mode)
the outputs are configured, channel output limits, and
more.
Present on almost all DSP screens other than the main
mixer, this button will reset the DSP settings to the dis-
played feature's default setting.
