ments.

Channel Mute indication

Channel Mute indication on the RM16 is provided via channel me-
ters. When a channel is muted (either locally or remotely) the asso-
ciated channel LED on the channel meter illuminates. See also
Mute.

Meter Brightness Control

It is possible to alter the brightness levels of these meters. This is a
useful feature as ambient lighting varies according to where a per-
formance is held. For example, an outdoor festival may be held in
very bright conditions, thereby requiring very bright and highly con-
trasting meters, or conversely a theatrical performance where there
is an importance for audio equipment to emit as little light as possi-
ble.
From the RM16 root menu (see
