than 1 sample. This has priority over the analogue overload indication. Sensitivity of
the digital overload indication will be set by the unit’s digital operating level.
Metering
The main left and right meters are sourced directly from the main outputs so signal
problems within the unit or what is connected can be metered correctly. The meter is
a pseudo PPM type with a special scale that ranges from -16 to +26 dBu. This type
of meter and range is ideal for accurate metering of analogue levels when they are
fed to a digital recorder to maximise levels and to avoid digital clipping. Three
important points are identified on the meter to help the user to match levels between
the unit and a DAW.
0 (PPM Scale Point 5) for line-up +4dBu (0vu)
14 (PPM Scale Point 8.5) +18 dBu for typical DAWs set to 14 = 0dBFS, REL +4 dBu.
18 (PPM Scale Point 9.5) +22 dBu for typical DAWs set to 18 = 0dBFS REL +4 dBu.
Power Switch
When operated this switches the unit on and indicates +36 V input healthy by
illuminating red.
