LEDs and Metering
There are several basic methods for observing input and output levels on the
MixPre-6M: Channel knob ring LEDs, Channel screen meter, and Home screen’s
meter view.
Channel Knob Ring LEDs
Channel knob ring LEDs - Each LED ring is capable of displaying green, orange
and red colors. The brightness of the light ring indicates the level of the input:
green = signal present, red = signal peaking, orange = signal limiting. In
addition, a channel’s ring LED will flash orange when soloed or illuminate solid
red when muted.
Channel Knob Ring LEDs Touch Screen
The LEDs around any of the knobs will also pulse orange if, upon changing track
banks, the knob’s rotational position is not aligned with its fader value; this
pulsing stops once position and value are realigned. For more information, see
Track Bank Selector .
Channel Screen Meter
The Channel screen provides a meter beneath the Track name.
