    VU meter: To monitor the average level of the output signal, use this vintage style meter, which includes a dB scale. Because the standard operating level for audio equipment is 0 (zero) dB, this is the optimal level for the output signal. At 0 dB, the MIC800 still has approximately 15 dB of headroom.
