Channel Display
The large LCD displays the channel number, the gain
setting (8 dB to 69 dB in 1.0 db increments),
overload indication via a small “OL” icon, channel
mute, and a channel bar graph level meter.
Channel Number Indication – Channel indication
is shown numerically when in Local and LAN remote
m o d e, a nd alpha-numerically when in MIDI remote.
For e xample, if the unit is assigned Unit ID 01,
channel 6 is displayed as “6” i n L o c a l a n d L AN
modes. If assigned MIDI channel 01 “6a” is displayed
(the letter indicates the MIDI channel assigned. a=1,
b=2… p=16).
Channel numbering is correlated to the Unit ID
number in LAN remote, or MIDI channel in MIDI
remote . For instance, in LAN remote if the unit ID is
set to “03,” that unit’s channel numbering will
display channels “17 – 24” (see remote operation for
more on setting the Unit ID).
When MIDI remote is enabled, each Unit has a letter
(“a” through “p”) after each channel number
indicating the MIDI channel (1 through 16). (see
remote operation for more on setting the MIDI
channel).
Gain Setting – Gain is shown numerically under the
channel number indication. For example, the number
“35” would represent 35 dB of microphone voltage
gain.
Overload Indication – To the right of the channel
number is an “OL” icon (Channel 2 above) which
appears if the channel output equals or exceeds a
peak of +22 dBu. Note that the HV-3R’s unclipped
output is +32 dBu.
“OL” does not indicate the clip point of
the HV-3R’s analog sections. Rather, it
indicates a warning to the user that the
HV-3R output is approaching the clip
level of many common outboard
recording devices.
Channel Mute – When a channel’s Mute is engaged,
the word “MUTE” will appear in place of the channel’s
gain setting (Channel 7 above).
Level Meter – The level meter is a bar graph meter
with eight segments. The approximate corresponding
output levels are:
OUTPUT
BAR (balanced)
OVL +22 dBu
7 +20 dBu
6 +16 dBu
5 +12 dBu
4 +8 dBu
3 +4 dBu
2 -10 dBu
1 -19 dBu
