AUTOMATIC CHANNEL FOCUS

When turning the knobs (on the 1248 or 8M) to
adjust the preamp gain on a mic channel, the
display switches to a larger, horizontal meter with
numeric readouts for precise setup. A few seconds
after you stop turning the knob, the display returns
to the default view.
"PIN" CHANNEL FOCUS
When viewing a channel's horizontal meter, push
its knob (on the 1248 or 8M) to "pin" the LCD's
focus on the large meter view. The view is "pinned"
70
to show the horizontal meter until the active
channel's knob is pushed again. Switch directly to
another channel's horizontal meter by pushing or
turning its knob. Push the selected channel's knob
again to unpin.

TRIM

On the 1248 and 8M, push TRIM (Figure 6-2) to
display the preamp gain settings for all mic inputs
simultaneously, instead of viewing only the
channel you are adjusting. You can then use the
channel knobs to adjust each channel while
viewing its setting relative to the other channels
being displayed.
