Channel Meters
Each channel has a pair of 12-segment meters. In DAW Focus mode, the second meter allows stereo DAW
2
channels to be metered in the channel strip, for those HUI protocol DAWs which support this. In Analogue
Focus mode, the right-hand meter is blank and the left-hand meter displays the signal level of the channel.
The
SEL, REC and EDIT symbols above each meter display DAW track status and are described in Chapter 5.
The
AUTO lights below each meter area are used for automation and
Total Recall in Analogue Focus mode, and for
DAW Automation status (HUI protocol DAWs only) in DAW Focus.
Normally the channel meters follow the desk Focus mode. However, via the
Meter
menu in the SSL soft key set, the channel
meters can be locked to the Analogue Channel or DAW metering regardless of the current Focus mode (see Page 44).
AUTO and
REC and MIX
Bus Meters
The MIX, REC, MON, CUE ST, and FX 1-4 busses all have their own 12-segment meters located at the right-hand end of the
penthouse, displaying their post-fader signal level. The stereo busses all have separate meters for left and right.
VU Meters
There is also a pair of VU meters located in the left-hand side of the centre section penthouse. Their source
is selected in the
MAIN VU SELECT area of the centre section, below the right-hand VU meter. The three
sources available are the
MIX, REC and MON busses, and the selected source will be indicated by its
button being lit, and also by the appropriate symbol above the meters being lit. The top button in the
MAIN
VU SELECT
area, labelled -10dB, attenuates the signal feeding the meters by 10dB to avoid pinning the
needles to the end stop with over normalised DAW mixes.
The VU meters are unaffected by solo mode, and will keep metering the selected source even when the
SOLO
symbol above them is lit.
