activates at peak level minus 6 dB. Generally, the PEAK REFERENCE selector is
set for the maximum level you want to present to your mixing console, recorder,
etc. Depress RESET 10 to clear PK.
NOTE: Only the OL light indicates impending preamp overload. The red PK light
simply indicates that the signal has exceeded the level selected on the PEAK
REFERENCE switch.
Note that the overload level of the
PRECISION 8i is +31dBu at the output. This
level exceeds the input capability of some devices (check manufacturer’
s
specifications). In other words, it may be possible to cause overload distortion in
the connected device even though the
PRECISION 8i level indicator does not
show a red light. We can provide accessory Output Attenuators in applications
where this is necessary. Please consult the factory for assistance.
