Fig 20-6 : VU & PPM LED Meter Panel.
The dual meter panels are used for monitoring console signal levels.
The S2-MPPM panel has two fast-reading moving-coil meters with PPM-style scale.
The S2-MPPT* panel has two moving-coil PPM movements, conforming to true PPM
ballistics.
The S2-ML53 panel has an LED meter display with both PPM and VU scales.
The PPMs have a 1-7 scale and will be congured such that a 1kHz signal, at 0dBu at the
PGM output, will indicate a meter reading of 4. Each mark on the PPM scale indicates a 4dB
change in signal level.
The S2-MVU two moving coil VU meters will be congured such that a 1kHz signal, at +4dBu
at the PGM output, will indicate a meter reading of 0VU.
The LED meter panel displays both VU and PPM readings simultaneously.
The meters can be congured internally to be fed from one of three signal sources,
* Please note that the S2-MPPT has been discontinued.
