Metering
: A 20-segment LED dual bar graph meter is fitted adjacent to each of the 16 faders in
the fader bay. The meters display a single LED ladder when the selected channel (input or
output) is mono, and dual LED ladder
if stereo. The lowest segment acts as a ‘signal present’
LED and illuminates at -80 dBFS. The LEDs are colour coded: the signal present segment is
green, the five highest segments are red, with the top one corresponding to 10 dBFS. The
remaining segments are yellow
.
A METER Options page on the MENU screen allows the user to select between pre and post
fade meters for fader meters, screen meters and FADER FOLLOW output meters. There is
additionally a green OPEN LED at the bottom of the meter which illuminates as soon as the
fader is moved, and the channel is on. Moving a fader while channel is off does not switch it
on. So, if it is off because of a VCA mute group for example is open, the OPEN LED will be off.
11.
OLED Alphanumeric Displays
: One per fader. The OLEDs display the name of the channel
(input or output); this will either be the user-assigned name, or if the channel has not been
renamed it will show the fader value if active, plus the default number e.g. Ch. 23. They are
also colour-coded to match the channel type
– stereo or mono, output bus assignment, etc.
