42. Main Meters
These peak meters are made up of two columns
of twelve LEDs, with three colors to indicate different
ranges of signal level, traffic light style. They range from
–30 at the bottom, to 0 in the middle, to +20 (OL)
at the top.
When a channel is soloed [ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2,
ProFX30v2], the right meter shows no reading, and
the left meter shows the level of that channel’s signal
level, pre-fader.
The left meter's 0 dB LED is labeled “level set” to
show where the level should be when adjusting a
channel’s gain in the solo mode.
When 0 dBu (0.775 V) is at the main left and right
TRS outputs, it shows as 0 dB on the meters.
You can get a good mix with peaks flashing anywhere
between –20 and +10 dB on the meters. Most amplifiers
clip at about +10 dBu, and some recorders aren’t so
forgiving either. For best real-world results, try to keep
your peaks between “0” and “+6.” Remember, audio
meters are just tools to help assure you that your levels
are “in the ballpark.” You don’t have to stare at them
(unless you want to).
43. Rude Solo LED
[ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2]
This large LED flashes red when one or more solo
switches are engaged. This acts as a reminder that
what you hear in the control room and headphones
is the soloed channel(s).
If you forget that you are
in solo mode, you can easily be tricked into thinking
that something is wrong with your mixer. Hence,
the rude solo light. Please forgive its rudeness,
it is only trying to help, and wants to be your friend.
