AM844D
50. Level Meter
The dual 12 segment level meter gives an accurate
indication of when audio levels of the Main L/R sig-
nal reach certain levels. The 0 dB indicator illumi-
nates is approximately equal to an output level of
+4 dBu (balanced), and the PEAK indicator illumi-
nates about 1.5 dB before the signal is dynamically
clipped. To make the maximum use of audio, set the
various level controls so that it sits steadily around 0
dB to make full use of audio, while still maintaining
fantastic clarity.
51. Group 1/5, 2/6, 3/7 and 4/8 Controls
These four faders are the nal level control for the
Group 1 to 4 audio feeds (the signals of which are
doubled in the 5 – 8 Group outputs), sent to the cor-
responding Group outputs on the rear of the AM844D
to feed external devices such as effect processors,
and, most commonly, multi-track recorders. These
faders can be fed a signal from the various mono
and stereo channels, as well as the AUX Return 3,
depending on your selections. When pushed all the
way up, these faders provide 10 dB of gain to the
signal, and, when set all the way down, effectively
mute the signal.
The Group Controls also feature individual left and
right buttons, which allow you to send the various
Group signals to the Main Left and Right. This can
be handy when wanting to combine the signals from
different signals and control their input levels simul-
taneously, then send them to the Main L/R signal
(eg. when multiple inputs are used for, say, drums,
you can combine these inputs together to be con-
trolled much simpler by a single fader).
52. Main L/R Fader
The Left and Right main mix is controlled with this
fader – the nal level control for the Main Left and
Right audio feeds, sent to the Main L and R outputs.
When pushed all the way up, the Main L/R fader
provides 10 dB of gain to the signal, and when set
all the way down, the signal is effectively muted.
