Operator Manual

Fader and meter

The VeniceF fader section has the following functions.

Fader section of the dual stereo input channels

The meter is especially useful when setting the microphone gain of a channel. Also, as

the meter is post-EQ, it is possible to see the effect that the channel equalisation has

upon the level. It may be necessary to turn the input gain down when excessive EQ is

used to prevent the channel from overloading.

The LEDs represent the following:

• 18 (red): +18dB, overload (peak)

• 12 (yellow): +12dB, high level

• 0 (green): 0dB, normal level

• -18 (green): -18dB, shows signal is present

Item Description

1 LED meter These LEDs comprise the dual stereo input channel meter,

which lets you monitor the input signal without having to use the PFL. The

meter will display the higher of the two signals (left or right). The red +18

LED will also show any overload activity on the FireWire.

Note: The LED meter is post-insert and post-EQ, but pre-fader and pre-

mute.

2 Fader This channel fader allows for continuous adjustment of the channel

level from

4 (infinity/off) to +10dB. At 0dB, the output of the channel to

the stereo, mono and group buses will be at unity, that is, no adjustment in

level from the input.
