Meter Section Overview
Along the top of Control|24 are 24 stereo, 14-segment LED Channel meters at the top of the Fader sec-
tion, and six Output meters above the Main section.
Channel Meters Pre-fader or post-fader level in-
dication of individual channels. Mono channels
activate the left side of the meter pair only.
Output Meters Mirror the first six Output meters
of the primary Digidesign audio interface, show-
ing the current Pro Tools Meter path as selected
in the I/O Setup dialog. The Output meters dis-
play two-, four-, or six-channel output, depend-
ing on the current Stereo or Surround mode.
Control|24 meters follow Pro Tools Peak Indica-
tion preferences, and are identical in operation
to the meters on Digidesign audio interfaces.
