LCD Meter Screen
Several LCD screens are available for setting prefer-
ences. Many of these screens have parameters that
are only accessible via the LCD.
The
METER
screen is such an example. This screen is
used for setting the responsiveness of the SX-1’s
LED meters.
Press
SHIFT
on the Keypad. Then, from the
MAIN
DISPLAY MODE
section, press
SETTINGS/ PREFS
,
and use
NEXT PAGE
(or
PREV PAGE
) soft key to scroll to
the
METER
screen.
PANEL METER TYPE This parameter is for the
front panel LED Master Meter. Use it to select
between
Average
(meters reflect an average of signal
levels),
Peak
(the peak LED holds for a few seconds),
or
Both
(shows peak and average meters at the same
time).
PEAK HOLD TIME Here, you can choose how
long you want the meters to hold peaks (from 9 ms to
infinity).
AVE COEFFICIENT This parameter determines the
first part of meter ballistics – the speed of attack. At
smaller values, the amount of data passing through
the meter is lower than it is at higher values, speeding
up the meter’s performance.
BAR DECAY RATE This control deals with the
second part of meter ballistics – the decay rate. The
value refers to the number of db (decibels) the meter
falls every second. The higher the number in db per
second, the faster the meter recedes after a peak.
MIXER MT POINT This sets the Mixer Metering
Point—that is, the point in the signal chain that is
depicted by the meter. The choices are:
Sig
(directly
after the A/D conversion),
Pre
(pre-fader), and
Post
(post-fader).
MASTER MT POINT This setting determines the
metering point for the Master L/R Buss. The choices
are:
Sig
(pre-buss trim),
Pre
(pre-fader), and
Post
(post-
fader).
BUSS MT POINT This setting determines the
metering point for the Busses. The choices are either
pre or post fader.
AUX/CUE MT POINT This setting determines the
metering point for the Cue buss and the Aux Sends.
The choices are pre- or post-fader.
LCD Miscellaneous Screen
This screen allows you to set a variety of different
preferences: the foot pedal jack’s performance, dim attenuation, and Control Room and Studio Out atten-
uation.
