User Default
A memory location is available to store user-defined default settings. The user default is helpful to
save a baseline of settings different than the factory default settings. To save a user default perform
the following:
1. Hold down both the meter brightness button and battery check button while powering the
mixer.
2. The current settings will be saved as the user default.
The user default settings can be recalled from the setup menu by applying the user default restore.
See the Setup Menu Chart.
Output Limiter Adjustment
Output limiter thresholds are adjustable between +4 dBu and +20 dBu in 1 dB increments. The
threshold level is shown on the lower (right) meter string by illuminating LEDs. Because LEDs are
spaced every 4 dB, a combination of flashing and solid adjacent LEDs indicate limiter levels between
the numbered LEDs. Factory default is 20 dBu. Each press of the battery button or meter brightness
control changes the threshold by 1 dB. Three possible LED indications show threhold value:
• Single solid LED - actual value indicates threshold.
• Flashing LED next to a solid LED - indicates that the threshold is one dB above or below the
solid LED value.
• Two solid LEDs - threshold value is even number value between the two indicated values.
Two examples are shown below, a setting of +10 dBu and +11 dBu thresholds.
