Vintage Gate / Compressor VU Meters
To complete the classic look of the vintage dynamics, the gate and compressor are outtted with VU meters.
What’s more, underneath each VU meter is a set of buttons to select between displaying the input level,
amount of gain reduction or output level. The input and output meters range from –20 dBu to 0 dBu.
The reduction meter of the gate and compressor ranges from 0 to 20 dB. Mono metering is displayed
for inputs and outputs on unlinked channels and stereo metering is displayed for inputs and outputs
on linked channels.
