Arrow Manual Console Reference 113
Input Meter
The input meter always displays the signal level of the channel
after UAD plug-in processing in the inserts. Depending on the
state of the METERING option in the Display panel within the
Console Settings window, (either pre-fader or post-fader), this
meter will display the level going into the monitor mix bus (post-
fader/post-inserts), or the level at the channel’s hardware input
(pre-fader/post inserts).
Tip: When recording into a DAW, it’s usually best to keep
metering set to PRE-FADER so the meters accurately represent
the signal level at the DAW inputs when recording.
Input Level Scale
The numerical labels next to the LED meters represent digital signal levels. “0”
represents 0 dBFS (digital full scale, the maximum level before undesirable A/D
clipping). If the level at the Arrow input exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator
illuminates.
Important: If clipping occurs, reduce the preamp gain, the output level of the
device feeding the input, and/or the output gain(s) of UAD plug-in processing in
the inserts to eliminate undesirable A/D clipping distortion.
Peak Hold
The input meters also have a peak hold feature, which holds signal peak values for a
specified period of time. The clip and peak hold times can be adjusted in the Display
panel within the Console Settings window.
