There are two 40 segment LED stereo VU meters. The upper one shows the Program output
and the lower one the CUE bus (or the control monitoring bus, when there are no channels
sent to CUE).
From left to right, the first 25 LEDs are green, followed by an area of 5 yellow LEDs to finish
with an area of 10 red LEDs. 0dB point or nominal value corresponds to the the yellow LED
adjacent to the first red LED.
Both VU meters are set to function as IEC268-10: 5ms/-2dB (vu-meter only) and the peak-meter
IEC268-17: 300 ms (vu-meter & Flying PPM) superimposed.
