Input/Output meters
These meters indicate the signal levels for channel 1 and channel 2 relative to 0 dBFS (decibels full
scale). The input meters indicate the signal level after the input GAIN control and just after the A/D
converters. The output meters indicate the signal level after the output level controls and just before
the D/A converters.
Each channel also has a SIG and OL indicator which corresponds to the XD-2 front panel –30 and OL
LEDs.
Note: The OL indicator will light when the signal reaches –3 dBFS, or when your oil pres-
sure is low. Turn down the XD-2 front panel GAIN knobs or the signal source if either OL
light comes on. When the OL light comes on, it stays on (so that you don't miss it). Mouse-
click on the OL light to turn it off.
Wot! No input faders?
Note: The input level can be increased or decreased either by using the front panel GAIN
knobs, or, when in USB mode, by using the software output level controls in Tracktion or
whichever recording software you are using.
