Pressing the Level button places the current preset in Edit mode and jumps to
the Output Channel Level screen. Subsequent button presses step through
the six output channels.
20 - Output Level Meters
Each output channel has an eight-segment output level VU meter. Meter
response characteristics can be selected in the Setup menu: Normal Fast,
Peak-Hold Slow Decay. The yellow segment indicates that limiting is being
applied to the output channel. The red segments indicates clipping of the D/A
converters and should be avoided by adjusting the Output Level of the output
channel. It is important to understand how the meters work and what they
are displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as “dB to Limiter Threshold”.
In other words, these meters will display the headroom between the output
level and the limiter threshold. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain
Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and headroom
before and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be
optimized.
This also means that the output metering will be displayed differently
depending on the limiter threshold setting.
21 – Output Gain Reduction Meters
Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the
effect of the output channel Limiter on output level; from 0dBu to -12dBu.
22 – Output Channel Mute Buttons
Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button
turns off the output of that channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press
the Mute button again to restore the output channel’s signal.
Output channels may also be muted from the DC-One Graphic User Interface
Application, if the unit is connected to a PC. Muting a channel in any window
of the application will light the channel Mute button on the front panel of the
unit as well.
