Audio Output Indicators
– Stacked red (signal clipping) and green (signal present) LEDs for the output channel.
For both the Audio Input and Audio Output indicators, the green signal LED varies in brightness corresponding to the input
signal level. It begins to light at -60 dBFS, increasing to full intensity corresponding to signal level increases. When the
signal level reaches -3 dBFS or above, the red clipping LED lights and remains lit as long as the signal remains about -3
dBFS. When it falls below that level, the red LED remains lit for 200 milliseconds, after which the display resumes real-time
monitoring of the signal level.
