DX0.5
These seven‐segment meters display the input and output signal levels OR the gain reduction amount for each output's limiter,
depending on the selected VU Meter mode. Detailed information may be found on page 20 [VU Meter section].
These meters should remain green with the occasional peak into the yellow zone. If the level stays constantly in the yellow
section (or any red clipping), lower the level of the source until feeding the DX0.5 until the metering returns to occasional
excursions into the yellow. It may also be necessary to check the gain and EQ settings on the DX0.5 input and output channels.
Input meters (starting at the top) show:
Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu, –10 dBu and –20 dBu.
Output meters (starting at the top) show:
Limit, Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu and –15 dBu when in Level mode.
If the VU meter mode is Limit, the output meters show:
Limit, 0 dB, –3 dB, –6 dB, –9 dB, –12 dB and –15 dB.

Utilities
As mentioned earlier, there are three main utility menus to choose from:

When navigating menus, the current setting for any parameter will be indicated with an asterisk [*] making it easy to get back
where you started.
