CHAPTER 4
Text View
Text View (Figure 4.9) is the most complete monitoring view
in RMS, with a host of important data displayed using text
fields.
Figure 4.9. Text View for the MILO loudspeaker
Text View will vary the most among types of loudspeakers,
and you may see other parameters (such as attenuation) in
addition to the inherent differences in the number of chan-
nels between loudspeakers.
Using Figure 4.9 as a guideline, Table 4.3 explains all of the
monitoring capabilities available in Text View for the MILO
loudspeaker.
