METERING
Input Channel Meter
Each input channel has an input meter. There are two parts to the meter (see Figure 13-1): The top part is
a 10--segment level meter, and the lower part is a 4-segment Gain Reduction Meter (GRM).
The level meter shows the input level at a selected point in the input channel. The
point at which the input meter measures the signal within the input channel can be
globally set via the Settings page, there are four options (see below). This page is
accessed by pressing the [MENU] key, and then pressing the <Settings> tab.
If two channels are vertically paired, the meter shows the higher of the two values.
The GRM shows the overall gain reduction of the limiter and compressor, if they are
engaged.
The Meter Point is after the analogue mic gain section, but before the
digital trim and filters.
