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
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 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
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
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.
