1.6 Metering Display Switch
Operation:
METER: Switches the display between Input
and Output.
IN: Displays the level of the Input signal.
OUT: Displays the level of the Output signal.
Note: Take care when adjusting input
levels that the level remains in the
green, as this will leave enough
headroom for later processing stages.
The Output display works like the
display of a digital device; that is, if
the red "OVER" LED lights up, you run
serious risk of unwanted distortion.
1.7 Phase Reverse
The Phase Reverse switch reverses the phase of
the input signal by 180 degrees.
Operation:
Ø: Activates the phase reversal feature.
Warning: Using this feature as an
"effect" with signals that are in
fact properly in phase is not
recommended, as this may create
problems with mono compatibility.
INFO
The values on the display are given in dB Fs to
simplify properly driving the optional DI-Mod
converter or other digital devices. The display is
calibrated in such a way that the value "-10" (the
last green LED) corresponds to a reference level of
+4dBu. This is the value to aim for to achieve the
best levels. The equalizer and compressor respond
optimally when you use an input level in this range.
The output should be driven as high as possible
without going into the red in order to take full
advantage of the dynamics available with the
optional DI-Mod (or other A/D converter). You may
think of this display as similar to that of a
DAT recorder, in that you strive to push the level
as high as possible without going over.
HELPFUL HINT
The Phase Reverse switch may help in correcting
signals whose polarity is reversed or in reducing the
phase shifting that results when the same sound
sources cross-bleed into several open microphones.
In live use on stage, phase reversal can be helpful in
suppressing low-frequency feedback.
