Element with 2-Fader Phone Module and 2-Fader + Monitor Module
Program Meters for each of Element’s four ste-
reo Program buses feature true VU meter ballistics
with an expanded scale. Solid bargraphcs indicate
average level; the red line at -20dBFS corresponds
to the 0dB mark on a traditional analog meter.
Peak Indicator indicates absolute peaks to show
talent where the loudest portions of program ma-
terial are landing on the VU scale. (This indicator
may be switched off if desired.)
Peak Indicator Warning illuminates when
peaks reach or exceen 0dBFS.
Day/Date and Digital Clock keep operators in-
formed of what day it is (in case they forget, which
is entirely normal). Clock can be set for 12- or 24-
hour operation, and can be slaved to a networked
NTP server if desired.
Analog Clock presents a traditional clockface
with second hand for fast orientation.
Utility Meter normally shows the volume of
sources assigned to the PGM-4/Phone/Record
multifunction bus, but can optionally be slaved to
meter whatever source is auditioned in the Control
Room Monitors.

Annunciator Panel informs operators when Mic
channels are open, when audio is being auditioned
in the Preview (cue) channel, when Talkback is ac-
tive in either direction, and when external profan-
ity delay units (if any) are active.
Countdown Ring appears when Element’s
Countdown Timer is active, and decreases during
the last :60 seconds as a visual prompt.
Count Up and Countdown Timers provide an
automatic event timer with manual elapsed-time
function, and a countdown timer to assist in back-
timing live program material.
Monitor Selection Indicators show talent what
source is being presented in the Control Room
and Studio Monitor channels, the CR Headphone
channel and the Preview channel, and shows the
position of each volume control when adjusted.
External Monitor Indicators show what sourc-
es are assigned to each of the two programmable
External Monitor channels.
Show Prole Indicator tells talent what Show
Profile is currently loaded, and whether the con-
sole has been changed from Profile settings.
