• The Auto Balance window indicates any corrective left-to-right channel balancing being performed.
• The AGC meter window shows the levels and action of the Input AGC and the Wideband AGC1
compressors. It also shows the level of the Wideband AGC2 section when it is enabled and
positioned before the multiband section.

the left of the meter can display levels below threshold (positive numbers) as well as levels above

threshold and therefore in a state of gain reduction. When they rise above “0” they are below
