LED Meters / Clip Indicator.

  Indicate the input signal level (in dBFS) of each channel.  The green 

LEDs illuminate when the channel’s input level reaches -40 and -18 dBFS respectively (-30 and -8 dBu) 
respectively.  The yellow LED illuminates when the channel’s input level reaches -6 dBFS (+4 dBu).  
The red clip indicator LED illuminates when the channel’s input level reaches 0 dBFS (+10 dBu).  At 
this level, your mic preamp/line trim signal of your external A/D will exhibit signs of clipping such as 
distortion.  It is highly recommended you do not allow your converters to clip (the red clip indicators to 
light up) as the sound quality will typically not be desirable.
