Bus Master Meters
Bus Masters can be configured as stereo channels, therefore the Bus Master Strip level meters have left
and right meters (i.e. the left and right channels share a single set of controls, but note that this feature is
reserved for a future release).
The GRM shows the overall gain reduction of the limiter and compressor, if they are
engaged. Note: the Dynamics from Stereo Bus Masters are always linked, therefore
both GRMs show the same value.
Master Output Meters
The L,R and C Output Masters each have a Level Meter and a Gain Reduction Meter. The L and R masters
share a stereo meter similar to Figure 13-3, and the C master has a mono version similar to Figure 13-1.
Monitor Meters
The monitor section has a stereo level meter, but there is no GRM associated with the monitor.

Scale
The Level meter scale goes from +18dB to -36 dB, it represents the actual output level in dBu from its
analogue line output. Gain reduction is displayed in the Range 0 - 20 dB.
HINT: Soundcraft VI6™ contains full floating-point calculation, which means that the audio
signal inside the mixer cannot be overloaded. If the signal level is too high at the master output
meters, it is necessary only to pull down the master fader level until the correct level is ob-
tained.
In the Input Channel meters, the overload (OVL) LED indicates an overloaded analogue input (mic preamp
clipping), while in the Master meters the overload indicates a value that is higher than Full Scale (ana-
logue output-stage clipping).
