A pair of large, high-quality VU meters are installed in the top bay of the master bucket for indicating
the stereo Program, Playback, and Solo levels.
The source for the Main Stereo Meters is selected
using the Control Room Monitor source selectors
(MNTR). Accordingly the Main Meters can be fed
from the following sources:
Stereo Program Masters (PGM MNTR):
o A, B, or C
o Grand Master
o Aux 7/8, 9/10, & 11/12
Solo Bus
External Playback Sources (PLAY MNTR):
o 2-Track 1-4
o 6-Track 1-2 (Left and Right)
While recording and mixing the Main Meters display the level of the stereo Program Master of the
Program Master that’s being used for mixing and monitoring. When a PFL or AFL SOLO is engaged,
the control room Monitor Source is replaced with the output of the Solo Bus and the Solo Bus is
displayed on the LEFT and RIGHT Main Meters (SOLO).
