Selected Output Indicators

Directly to the right of each input meter (and underneath each fader cap) are the selected output indicators.
These vary by color for clear indication of which output type is currently selected.
The output type will be discussed in greater detail in the master fader section, starting on page 46.
There is no way you would ever see the image as shown below. It is just a point of reference.
As mentioned above, each selected output has a different color for clear indication of which
output type is currently selected. This is especially useful in the mixer view.

The touch sensitive faders adjust the level of each channel going to the
selected output. Adjustments are made by touching and dragging channel
faders up and down. Touched channel faders will "grow & glow" to indicate
that they are being adjusted. The fader level ranges from –∞ to +10 dB as
indicated by the scale on the left.
The input meters (next to each channel fader) display the input signal
level to the channel before all channel processing. Changes made to
the EQ, mute and fader do not affect these meters. This meter should
remain green with the occasional bump into the yellow zone. Turn down
the gain knob if the input meter remains consistently yellow. If the input
is too high [overloading], a clip indicator at the top of the meter will
illuminate red. If clipping occurs, reduce the gain. Unlinked channels
display mono meters, while linked channels display stereo meters.
How to link channels is discussed on page 42.
Red [clipping] = –3 dBFS
Green to yellow = –18 dBFS
Green [bottom] = –90 dBFS
