Output LED meter

   Displays Amp Output Level in reference to maximum Output 

 

 

 

5 green LEDs, -20...0dB

Limit LED

:   

Yellow LED shows, that RMS Limiter or Clip Limiter is active. 

CLIP LED

:   

Red LED shows, Clipping detected at input (post ADC)  or at Output  

 

 

 

In PC software, Input- / and Output Clipping are shown separately

 

 

 

 

 

In case of Input-Clipping, Level of input signal must be reduced (Risk of digital distortion) 

 

 

Output-Clipping may be caused by excessive internal signal processing, such as extreme 

 

 

EQ settings. Avoid / correct such settings.
