8.1.1 Stereo VU Meters
The Left and Right stereo VU meters indicate the amount of gain reduction being applied, as well as
the signal level at the INPUT and OUTPUT connectors. 0 VU is +4dBu.
The GAIN scale shows the amount of gain reduction during compression, with the 0 point being all the
way to the right, allowing more resolution of the gain reduction scale. The range of the meter is from
0 (no gain reduction) to 20dB of gain reduction.
