CHANNEL BALANCE/OFFSET INDICATOR. 

The channel balance indicator is a horizontal 

bar graph located to the right of the phase indicator. The cursor changes from a small square 
to a diamond shape at the center of the bar graph when the left and right channels have 
identical gains, or when no input gain offset has been added to a selected input. Whenever a 
channel balance or gain offset is adjusted the cursor will change from a diamond to a square. 
Each increment of the cursor is equal to one-half dB of gain offset of each channel, or a one 
dB difference between right and left channels.

6.

INPUT NUMBER INDICATOR

Indicates which input number is routed to the 

MAIN OUTPUT 

1/2/B

 jacks. If inputs 

1

 through 

4

 are selected 

BAL

 will be indicated. If inputs 

5

 or 

6

 are 

selected, 

UNBAL

 will be indicated.

7.

INPUT LABEL INDICATOR

If the input is labeled via the 

MENU

 function, then the label 

selected will be indicated. A complete list of input names is provided in the 

MENU

 when the 

menu function is selected.

8.

BATTERY CHARGE STATUS.

 

An 8-segment “gas gauge” indicates the approximate battery 

capacity when operating in battery mode. It is fully lit when the battery charge is between 
87.5% and full. The outline appears empty when the battery’s charge is depleted to less than 
12.5%. When battery mode is selected, a 

B

 will appear to the left of the gas gauge. When 

RUN ON AC/CHARGE

 mode is selected from the 

MENU

, the gas gauge will sequentially 

increment during battery recharging until the batteries are fully charged. At full charge the gas 
gauge will be solid.

9.

VOLUME/MUTE INDICATOR.

 This display shows the current volume of the selected 

input numerically, from 00.0 to 99.5, in 0.5 dB increments. When the preamp is 
muted the volume indicator numbers will be surrounded by corner brackets which 
indicates that the selected volume will be decreased by 20 dB. The selected volume 
numbers will also be decreased by 20. When the preamp is fully muted the original 
volume indicator numbers will be surrounded by full brackets which indicates that the 
selected volume will be decreased to zero.
