Status
The MINIR82 status is shown by means of the green or red "status" led's and the screen display. The
following status scenarios are possible:
• RECORD READY
the Red LED is flashing, the MINIR82 is ready to start recording
• RECORDING
the Red LED lights On steady, confirming that a recording is in progress.
• PLAYING
the Green LED lights On steady, a take is being played
• PLAYER PAUSE
the Green LED flashes, the Take being played is paused at current location.
• PLAYER STOP
a Take is loaded ready to be played, no LED lights on nor flashes
Clipping LEDs
The "Left Channel" and "Right Channel" Led's shows two particular statuses that are either:
• Limiters: either the Left or the Right LED lights On independently when the Microphone Input signal
reaches a level of 2.5dB before clipping, thus activating the Limiter.
• Clipping: the Input signal is too high on the microphone A/D Converter, both Left and Right LED's
light On together
On screen Display and Keys
The main working page (Tracks Monitoring) displays the 8 Peak Meters.
The meter range starts at –72dBFs and goes up to 0dBFs in 1dB steps from –72dB up to –24dB
and in 0.5dB steps from –23.5dB up to 0dB.
A reference line at -9, -12, -18, or –20 dB can be displayed on screen (see configuration's menu)
The bottom line of the display shows the functions of the Keys. Conventionally, the UP and DOWN keys are
used to change the parameters, the Right key is used to "Select" and the Left Key to "Cancel".
A single Arrow symbol denotes that an action is achieved by briefly pushing the key.
A double Arrow symbol means that the key must be pushed longer to validate the action.
