Bus Master Meters
The GRM shows the overall gain reduction of the limiter and compressor, if they are
engaged.
Master Output Meters
The L,R and C Output Masters each have a Level Meter and
a Gain Reduction Meter. The L and R masters share a stereo
meter.
Monitor Meters
The monitor section has a stereo level meter, but there is no GRM associated with the
monitor.
Scale
The Level meter scale goes from +18dB to -36dB, the actual output level in dBu from its analogue line
output will be 4dB higher. Gain reduction is displayed in the Range 2 - 20 dB.
HINT: The Soundcraft Vi1™ contains full floating-point calculation, which means that the audio
signal inside the mixer cannot be overloaded. If the signal level is too high at the master
output meters, it is necessary only to pull down the master fader level until the correct level is
obtained.
In the Input Channel meters, the overload (OVL) LED indicates an overloaded analogue input (mic
preamp clipping), while in the Master meters the overload indicates a value that is higher than Full Scale
(analogue output-stage clipping).
