7.6 Front panel monitoring and 
adjustments 

7.6.1 Level indicators 

 

 

  

 

 
The front-panel displays an array of ten LED  
indicators for level and status monitoring of each 
amplifier channel. Indications related to signal levels 
are as follows: 

Red CPL (Current Peak Limiter)

 illuminating 

Indicates that output signal has reached the limit of 
the output devices and limiting is in effect. 

Green VPL/CLIP 

indicates that signal has reached 

maximum output voltage. (Maximum voltage is   
determined   by  rear-panel VPL settings.) 

Green SIG 

to -4 Indicates output signal levels 

in normal operating range. 

SIG + HI-IMP (green/red)

 - Indicates input signal 

above -44dB. Should the SIG indicator turn red, this 
indicates a high-impedance, or open connection has 
been detected at the output. Possible faults include 
a disconnected cable or malfunctioning 
loudspeaker. (In some cases a normal condition, 
such as a sub-b ass enclosure with high-impedance 
at a certain frequency, can trigger this indication.) If 
the -10 dB LED illuminates and the HI-IMP LED turns 
orange, then the amplifier has detected an open 
load (no loudspeaker connected). 

7.6.2 Level adjust 

 

Level adjust potentiometers (one per channel) are 
located on the front panel adjacent to the LED 
display. The potentiometer's operational range is 
0dB to minus infinity. Attenuation is logarithmic,  
with -10dB at the 12 o'clock position. 

 

7.6.3 Mute indication 

 

Individual channel Mute is indicated by illumination 
of the red MUTE LED provided for each channel.
