7.2 METERING THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The SDP-75 includes an extensive set of audio tools to perform various tests and manual operations during the setup
process.
To access the audio tools:
• Click on the Gears button in the top menu to open the Advanced Settings interface.
• Go to the Processor tab of the graphical user interface.
The main page of the Processor tab displays the input and output meters and a set of lateral tabs:
Input and Output levels can be monitored through the Processor/Meters page. Both the peak levels and the RMS levels
are displayed:

You can visualize the peak level of each channel. The highest level registered on each channel can be displayed by
pressing the Mem button. When the level gets close enough to the saturation level, the name of the channel appears
highlighted in red. The Clear button resets the memory and the saturation indicators for every channel of the group.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A digital signal cannot technically exceed 0 dBFS. Therefore, the red tag on top of
each digital input channel only indicates when the maximum level of 0dBFS is reached and does not
necessarily indicate distortion or clipping.
