4.3.2. Peak Meter
The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists of several
indicators.
For a picture of the peak meter, please see the While Recording Screen in
section
5.8.1
(page

).
The bar:
This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the current volume value.
The peak indicator:
This is a little vertical line at the right end of the bar. It indicates
the peak volume value that occurred recently.
The clip indicator:
This is a little black block that is displayed at the very right of the
scale when an overflow occurs. It usually does not show up during normal playback
unless you play an audio file that is distorted heavily.
If you encounter clipping
while recording, your recording will sound distorted. You should lower the gain.
Note:
Note that the clip detection is not very precise.
Clipping might occur
b
without being indicated.
The scale:
Between the indicators of the right and left channel there are little dots.
These dots represent important volume values. In linear mode each dot is a 10%
mark. In dBFS mode the dots represent the following values (from right to left):
0 dB, -3 dB, -6 dB, -9 dB, -12 dB, -18 dB, -24 dB, -30 dB, -40 dB, -50 dB, -60 dB.
