[ SIGNAL LED
This LED shows the level of the audio signal entering the
INPUT connectors. Three different colors show the level.
OFF No signal entering.
Green Low- to mid-level signal entering. If the LED
turns off too often, the input gain is too low.
Use the GAIN controls and/or the external
device’s volume to raise the input level.

level.
Red Clipping is occurring at the input stage. It’s ok
