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
subgroups 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.

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 Talkback Microphone
Connector. If talkback
is to be used then a
microphone should be
plugged in here.

lights when a SOLO
button has been
pressed on the console.
