VU Ref
This parameter sets the level of the 0 VU point in relation to 0 dBFS (0 dBFS is the value at which the maximum
value of a sample word is reached. Anything above this level means that the signal is clipped).
If, for example, the VU Reference level is set to -16 dBFS, the VU meter would display 0 dB when the signal is at -16
dBFS.
Peak Color A/B alignment
The peak meter uses three colors depending on the magnitude of the displayed level. Below the A point, the color
is blue. Between the A and B point, the color is a lighter blue, and above the B point, the color is red.
These two parameters adjust the level of the A and B points.
VU Color A/B alignment
The VU meter uses three colors depending on the magnitude of the displayed level. Below the A point, the color is
dark orange. Between the A and B point, the color is a lighter orange, and above the B point, the color is red.
These two parameters adjust the level of the A and B points.

Scale Tab Settings

These alignment parameters affect the rulers of the peak and the VU meter and also the dB range of the display.
They are accessed by clicking the Scale Tab.

Rulers Max
This sets the maximum level of the range displayed by the peak meter. Usually you would set this to 0 dBFs, such
that a digital full scale level would reach exactly the top of the scale. But since Pyramix uses Floating Point arithme-
tic, you might theoretically have signal levels above 0 dBFs, so it may be useful to be able to display them (of
course, at the output of the mixer, such a signal has to be converted back to an integer number, and would cause
digital clipping, so care should be taken with signals at these levels).
Rulers Min
This sets the minimum level of the range displayed by the peak meter, and thus influences the accuracy and the
resolution of the peak and VU meter. Signals lower than the minimum are not visible on the meter.
Mark Level
Sets the position of the Level Mark . This is normally set to your desired "nominal" level.
