When using weighting f i l t e r s the effect of the

of an excessively high input level. T h u s d i s t o r t i o n
and the resulting errors can occur w i t h o u t the
operator being a w a r e of t h i s condition. T o prevent
t h i s the O V E R L E V E L warning lamp a l e r t s the
operator when the input level goes +15dB above
the f u l l seal level (OdB). .
® A V E R A G E / P E A K S w i t c h
T h i s s w i t c h is used to select the detection method.
In the released position average detection and
R M S display are in effect. Depressing the s w i t c h
selects either D I N or C C I R quasi-peak detection
and R M S display of the signal level. When C C I R /
A R M is selected the detection method is a u t o -
m a t i c a l l y switched to average detection and R M S
display regardless of the position of t h i s s w i t c h .
