UTPUT EVEL METERS
Each output channel has an eight-segment output level VU meter. Meter response characteristics can be selected
in the Setup menu:
• Normal Fast,
• Peak-Hold,
• Slow Decay.
The yellow segment indicates that there is no headroom left to the selected VU reference i.E. D/A Converter Clip or
Limiter Threshold. The red segments indicates clipping within the output signal path and should be avoided by ad-
justing the Output Level of the output channel. It is important to understand how the meters work and what they are
displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as "dB to Limiter Threshold" or „dB to D/A clip". In other words, these
meters will display the headroom between the output level and the limiter threshold or clip threshold of the D/A con-
verter. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and
headroom before and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be optimized. This also means that
the output metering will be displayed differently depending on the limiter threshold setting.

UTPUT AIN EDUCTION METERS
Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the effect of the output channel Limiter
on output signal; from -3dB to -12dB.
