43. 2T Return Controls
Turning the 2T Return level control adjusts the
signal level of the feed from the 2T Return inputs,
the signal of which is sent to the Main L/R mixing
bus. Pushing the "to Ctrl Rm" button (featured on
the AM642D/AM642DP only) sends the signal to the
Control Room/Phones mixing bus also.
44. +48V Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when Phantom Power
is activated.
45. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of
the mixer is on; in case you weren't too sure.
46. Level Meter
This dual 12-segment level meter (11-segment on
AM442D) gives an accurate indication of when audio
levels of the Main L/R output reach certain levels.
The 0 dB indicator illuminates is approximately equal
to an output level of +4 dBu (balanced), and the
PEAK indicator illuminates slightly before the signal
is dynamically clipped. It is suggested that users set
the various levels controls so that the level meter sits
steadily around the 0 dB mark to make full use of the
audio while still maintaining fantastic clarity.
When the Solo indicator (located beside the Level
Meter) is illuminated, one or more Solo buttons
has been pushed and the Level meter will display
properties of the Solo signal, which can be helpful
with setting of channel properties. If Solo indicator
illuminates green, this means the Solo feed is a pre-
fader signal. If the solo indicator illuminates red, the
feed is post-fader. If the no Solo buttons are activated,
the 2T Return signal properties are displayed by the
Level Meter, unless the "To Ctrl Rm" button is not
pressed, in which case the Main L-R signal properties
will be displayed.

47. Group Controls
These two faders are the fi nal level control for the
Group 1 and 2 audio feeds, sent to the Group 1 and
2 outputs. These faders can be fed a signal from the
various mono and stereo channels, as well as EFX
Returns, depending on your selections. When pushed
all the way up, these faders provide 10 dB of gain to
the signal, and, when set all the way down, effectively
mute the signal. The Group Controls also feature
Left and Right buttons, which allow you to send the
Group 1-2 signals to the Main Left and Right mixing
buses. The AM442D also features a solo button
accompanying each of the Group controls.
48. Main L/R Faders
These two faders are the fi nal level control for the
Main Left and Right audio feeds, sent to the Main L
and R outputs. These faders are possibly fed by the
various mono and stereo channels, as well as AUX
and EFX returns and 2T inputs, depending on the
your selections. When pushed all the way up, these
faders provide 10 dB of gain to the signal, and, when
set all the way down, effectively mute the signal.
