THE MASTER
METERS
Metering has been addressed on
the input modules although there
are also meters associated with the
master functions on the console.
The output meters show the output
levels of the sub-groups and also
the stereo output. If problems
are indicated here with the level
being either too high or low then
it is most likely that the problem
is further back in the signal path.
Follow our procedure for gain
setting to see if this remedies the
situation.
1 Power Supply Status Indicators
for the +18V, -18V and 48V
power rails.
2 Left and Right Peak Reading
Main Output Meters.
3 Over Indicators, when
illuminated the signal is in
danger of being clipped and
the level should be reduced.
A level of +20dBu will
bring the OVER indicator
on. Maximum or 0dBFS is
indicated at a signal level of
+18dBu, corresponding to
full modulation on a digital
recorder.
4 0VU. When the signal is at a
level of +4dBu the bars should
be illuminated up to this point.
Note that this is not meant
to be normal operating level
because the meters are peak
reading.
5 Ta l k b a c k M i c r o p h o n e
Connector. If talkback is to
be used then a microphone
should be plugged in here.
6 Solo Indicator. This lights
when a SOLO button has been
pressed on the console.
