.Peak
program meters
With
the
MONITOR
switch
set
to
SOURCE,
the
meters
show
the
peak
input
level
of
each channel, and
to
TAPE,
the
meters
show
recorded levels. They
follow
the
transient
peaks
of
high-level
inputs
that
are
too
brief
to
be
followed
by
conventional
VU
meters
so
that
the
optimum
recording
level can be
accurately
set. The
highest
in-
put
of
each
channel
is held
about
4
seconds
on
the
scale,
except
when a
higher
peak
occurs
before
4
seconds
have passed, in
which
case
that
peak is
immediately
indicated.
