HARDWARE INDICATORS
USB LEDs
Link
When lit, this indicates a valid USB connection.
Data
This flashes when Pro Tools communicates with the DNS2000 via the USB input.
Input LEDs
AES, SPDIF
The lit LED indicates which audio input is in use. If the LEDs are flashing alternately, there is no
valid audio being presented to either of the DNS2000 processor’s inputs.
Peak
These LEDs indicate the audio input level. The upper row shows the level on Channel 1, the
lower row shows the level on Channel 2. If the red ‘0’ LED lights continuously for about one
second, this indicates input clipping.
The DNS2000 is capable of applying gain to the signal, so the absence of input
clipping does not guarantee the absence of output clipping.
Off / On LEDs - Channel 1 & Channel 2
These LEDs indicate whether the channel is selected to process.
Range LEDs - Channel 1 & Channel 2
The three LEDs Low, Mid and High indicate which range(s) is/are selected for processing.
Gain LEDs - Channel 1 & Channel 2
The twelve Activity LEDs for each channel offer a visual indication of the activity in each of the
six bands controlled by the Band Gain controls.
Both LEDs off: Less than ±0.5dB activity
Cut (green) LED dim: Between 0.5dB and 3dB attenuation
Cut (green) LED bright: Greater than 3dB attenuation
Boost (red) LED dim: Between 0.5dB and 3dB gain
Boost (red) LED bright: Greater than 3dB gain
Each band controls numerous filters. Therefore, the Activity LEDs for a given band display the
overall activity in that band, and are not necessarily indicative of the action of any single filter at
that moment.
