Once the desired meter characteristic has been chosen, proper scale labelling may be
ensured by removing the appropriate scale from the backing paper and applying it to the
recess provided between the meter bar graphs.
Brightness Control
The brightness of the bar graph meters and all other front panel indicators may be adjusted
to suit user preference or to match similar units nearby.
Fig 1-7: Brightness Control
A miniature flat-bladed screwdriver inserted into the hole next to the brightness symbol
should be turned clockwise to increase the brightness or anti-clockwise to decrease it.
Phase Meter
Fig 1-8: Phase Meter
The five-segment LED phase meter indicates the average phase correlation between the left
and right channels of the corresponding stereo audio input. It is labelled in both degrees
of phase shift and amount of correlation. A monophonic signal fed to both channels of the
corresponding audio input will have a correlation of 1.0, while inverting one such channel –
making it perfectly out of phase – gives a correlation of -1.0. True stereo signals will produce
a fluctuating phase correlation.
Reset Button
In the unlikely event that the Reference Monitor Meters unit fails to respond, press the
recessed reset button via the small hole in the front panel.
