METER SECTION (refer to the Out¬
put and Master Section Controls,
Pictorial 2, page 6)
19. METER ASSIGN switch: The
METER ASSIGN switch allows the left
and right bargraph displays to be as¬
signed in either of two ways:
A. If the METER ASSIGN switch is
in the In position, the left bargraph
will indicate the main output level,
while the right bargraph will indi¬
cate the monitor output level.
B. If the METER ASSIGN switch is
22
in the Out position, the left
bargraph will indicate the left
(SUB L) output level, while the
right bargraph will indicate the
right (SUB R) output level.
20. Left and Right Bargraph dis¬
plays: The meter section uses dual
ten-segment (peak-responding) LED
bargraph displays. The displays are
calibrated in dBu. + 9 dBu on the dis¬
play corresponds to full power from
the internal amplifiers.
21. Left and Right MAXIMUM
POWER indicators: These indicators
signal the activation of the anti-clip¬
ping circuit.
The output of each
amplifier is monitored individually for
clipping (distortion). When clipping is
detected, the amplifier gain is auto¬
matically reduced just enough to keep
the amplifier output from clipping. If
the input signal should increase fur¬
ther, the gain is reduced further, but
just enough to prevent clipping.
Occasional flashing of the LEDs is nor¬
mal. Sustained operation of the LEDs,
while not harmful in itself, is an indica¬
tion of amplifier overdrive (operating
the system beyond its limits); the out¬
put level should be reduced. With the
indicators on continuously or most of
the time, the 200M will not get sig¬
nificantly louder, regardless of how
much travel is left on any of the volume
8 controls.
One possible cure is to
simply turn the SUB L and SUB R
controls down. Another possibility is

to obtain additional power amplifiers and speakers if
more volume and/or coverage is needed.
Remember, the MAXIMUM POWER LEDs do not
indicate amplifier clipping, rather, they indicate the
activation of the protection circuitry. If it weren't for
the protection circuitry, the signal would have been
clipped, causing distortion.
22. INTERNAL DIGITAL EFFECTS PROGRAM
display: This digital display indicates the number of
the selected internal effects program. The available
programs are described in Table 1, page 22.
