1.3 METERBRIDGE
The standard integral VU meterbridge allows metering of all eight group and master L/R mix
outputs. The standard calibration of these meters is such that 0VU corresponds to +4dBu of output,
although this calibration is adjustable (see 4.16 of Technical Section). Each meter has an associated
peak LED, which is calibrated to illuminate at +18dBu of output level: again this is adjustable (again,
see 4.16 of Technical Section).
