Apogee Symphony I/O - Working with Front Panel and Maestro Level Meters

Working with Front Panel and Maestro Level Meters
Meter Characteristics
Level meters on Symphony I/O’s front panel and throughout Maestro display audio
levels in the range of 0 to -48 dB full scale (fs).
An Over indicator at the top of each meter lights when three or more consecutive full
scale samples have occurred. Though three consecutive full scale samples is most
likely inaudible, the Over indicator serves as an “early warning” that the level should be
reduced.
!
Peak and Over Hold
The amount of time that Peak and over indicators are held may be selected with the
Peak Hold and Over Hold drop down menus, found in Maestro's System Setup tab
window.
!
Both Peak and Over Hold may be set to the following times:
Off - Peaks and Overs are indicated but not held.
2 seconds - Peaks and Overs are held for 2 seconds, then cleared.
Infinite - Peaks and Overs are held infinitely (or, more accurately, a really long time)
until cleared by the user by pressing Clear Meters in Maestro or clicking the front
panel lefthand encoder.
Clear the Front Panel and Software Level Meters by clicking the Front Panel Left Hand
Encoder or the Maestro Toolbar Clear Meters button. The message "Meters Cleared"
will appear on the front panel OLED Display.

Front Panel Meters
Symphony I/O includes 2 banks of 8 level meters on the front panel. Select the audio
signals to be displayed on each bank using the Meters buttons in the Device Settings
tab window.
