6.0 Level Indication

Each channel of the T25 Tube Compressor is equipped with a LED gain reduction meter, a peak

indicator, and output level VU meter for level indication.

6.1 Gain Reduction Meter & Peak Indicator

(Gain Reduction): Indicates the amount of gain reduction in decibels (

)

•

Up to ten red LEDs illuminate to provide accurate indication of gain reduction

PEAK

: Indicates when output level reaches or e18dBu

•

Red LED

6.2 VU Meter

OUTPUT LEVEL

: Indicates the signal level at the OUTPUT connector

•

0VU is +4dBu (factory setting)

•

0VU = +14dBu option with internal jumper adjustment

•

Vintage look

•

Backlit

NOTE: The T25 VU meter cannot display gain reduction.

7.0 Tube Vent Window

The T25 Tube Compressor is equipped with metal-grate vent window that provides

ventilation for cooling and allows the tubes to be seen. This vent window should never

be blocked when the unit is powered on.
