CLOCK
The clock displays time in hours: minutes: sec-
onds in either 12- or 24-hour time. See page 2-4
for information on setting the clock.
EVENT TIMER
The event timer displays time in minutes: sec-
onds: tenths of seconds. Page 3-5 shows the timer
controls on the Monitor Control panel.
BARGRAPH METERS
The left meter provides level display for the Pro-
gram 1 bus. The right meter (Aux meter) shows a
selected meter source set by the Aux Meter but-
tons on the Monitor Controller (see page 3-5)—
except when cue is active, then the meter displays
the cue bus levels. An alphanumeric display be-
low each meter identifies the selected source by
name (e.g., CUE, PGM 1, SEND, EXT, etc.).

dB below FSD*
* FSD = Full Scale Digital, or 0 on the meters—the maximum console output level.
To compare to a VU meter: 0 VU is equivalent to the bargraph -20 dBFS setting.
A detailed bargraph meter is shown below. Each
bar segment, from 0 to -30, represents a 1 dB level
change between bars. From -30 to -57, each bar
represents a 3 dB difference in level. Bars are green
from -57 to -20, which is equivalent to a 0 VU
setting on a mechanical meter. With a properly set
up console this level (-20) results in a +4 dBu
analog output.
From -20 to -3 the LEDs are yellow. Signal lev-
els should always peak in this area. The 0, -1, and
-2 bars are red to indicate the signal is danger-
ously close to clipping. To prevent digital distor-
tion on the outputs, the red bars should rarely, if
ever, light up—especially the 0 bar since this indi-
cates the signal is at, or attempting to go beyond,
Full Scale Digital (the digital clipping point).
The meters can be set to display average only (a
solid moving bargraph indicates the average sig-
CONSOLE DISPLAY QUICK GUIDE
There are two displays available: a low-profile reflective display (standard) or the original direct-view display
on a stand (optional). Each has the same display elements: two bargraph meters, a clock and an event timer.
