For the metering, two 2-channel 30-LED bargraph meters (
METER 1
and
METER 2 ) are provided. Both have either PPM or VU characteristics (indi-
cated by the yellow PPM or VU LEDs). The characteristics selection is fac-
tory-set and has been specified at the time of ordering your console. Above
both meters, there are two LED bargraph correlation indicators allowing to
judge the mono compatibility of your mix (“+1” indication: L/R signals in
phase, best mono compatibility; “–1” indication: L/R signals out-of-phase,
no mono compatibility).
METER 1
Source Selector
The audio source displayed by METER 1 can be selected by one of three
source selector buttons:
PROGRAM
[37]
Used to monitor the output of the main PROG bus (post fader).
AUDITION
[38] Used to monitor the output of the main AUD bus (post fader).
MONITOR
[39] When active, the
METER 1
will display the signal currently selected in the
CONTROL ROOM MONITOR section.
Alternately, the signal from any channel with a CUE button active will be
displayed. If
SPLIT CUE
[22] mode is selected, the left-channel meter will
display the CUE signal, and the right-channel meter the main program output
signal during a CUE condition.
Note:
For the METER 2 , the selection of the same sources (PROG bus, AUD bus,
CR monitor selection) is done in the Second Metering Source menu
(refer to chapter 4.30).
