Once the BG-8 Digital Audio (AES) monitor is configured for the required meter type and
coloured transition point, it is ready to be used to monitor up to four pairs of AES audio. Lock
LEDs show if the sample rate of the incoming audio is locked for each AES pair.
The coloured bargraph areas can be configured to show normal level, under level and over
level to assist operation. Each group of four channels can be configured independently for
different meter types, scales and coloured level transition points.
