Dynamics Key Listen
When Key Listen is activated, the left and right channels of
the Solo bus are metered on the Selected Channel meters,
pre-Solo Trim control.
Solo Clip Indication
When the Selected Channel meters are showing levels of a sin-
gle soloed channel, the clipping information in the metering
section LEDs mirrors that on the channel itself.
When the Selected Channel meters in the metering section
are showing Solo bus levels, the meter LEDs turn red to indi-
cate clipping on the Solo bus.
Metering Options
Meter Display
The following display options can be configured for meters.
These options affect all meters on the console.
Meter Ballistics
Meters can be set to operate in the following modes:
RMS Mode
(Default) Meters follow the characteristics of a
damped analog meter. In this mode, meter response and de-
cay is slower than in Peak mode, providing an average reading
of the metered signal. A single LED shows the peak level for
the designated Peak Hold Time.
Peak Mode
Meters follow the characteristics of a standard
peak meter. In this mode, meter response is instantaneous,
showing the true peak level of the metered signal.
Peak Hold Time
Peak Hold Time can be set within a range of 0–20 seconds.

Clipping Indication
VENUE meter clip indicators are proximity warnings that
show when an input or output signal reaches or exceeds the
configured Clip Margin.
Clipping can occur at several points throughout the signal
chain. A clip at any one of these points is indicated by lighting
the top LED red on the meter. For more information on the lo-
cation of clip detect points, refer to Chapter 26, “Signal Flow
Diagrams.”
Clip Margin
The Clip Margin setting lets you configure the amount of
headroom you want before clipping indication begins. Clip
Margin is expressed as
dB below maximum
(where maximum is
a peak level of +20 dBVU).
Clip Margin can be set within a range of 0 dB to 30 dB below
maximum, and is configured separately for inputs and out-
puts.
To set the Clip Margin:
1
Go to the Options page and click the
Interaction
tab.
2
Under
Meter
, enter values for
Input Clip Margin Below Max
and
Output Clip Margin Below Max
.

lasts after the last clipped signal. Clip Hold Time can be set
within a range of 0–20 seconds.
To set the Clip Hold Time:
