For the cursor used to indicate the audio levels of analog
tracks, level values in the range from
–
40 to 10 dB and
marker dots are displayed.
• Headroom mark
When the audio level indication of a digital track shows the
peak value 0, a marker displays the meter headroom setting
value.
One of the following values is displayed:
–
20 dB,
–
18 dB,
–
16 dB,
–
14 dB or
–
12 dB.
For details on the meter headroom, see M370 METER
HEAD ROOM in the maintenance menu.
When the audio level indication is “FINE”, the mark is
placed at the reference level position.
When the audio level indication is “REF.0”, the mark is
placed at the reference level position.
• Audio level indication
When the digital track audio indication mode is “FULL-
PEAK0” or “FULL-REF.0”, the audio level is indicated in
the form of a bar graph with 24 segments (a top segment in
red indicates that the level exceeds the maximum level).
The “FINE” audio level of a digital track is indicated with
23 segments. Only the segment corresponding to the
current level lights. If the audio level is out of the
displayable range, the top or bottom segment flashes.
The audio level of an analog track is indicated in the form
of a bar graph with 18 segments. A peak program
indication appears for digital tracks in audio indication
modes other than “FINE”.
