DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
Meter Bridge Controls
A
Channel indicators
These indicators show which channels are currently being
metered: Input Channels 1–24, 25–48, 49–72, 73–96, or the Out-
put Channels (Bus Outs 1–8, Aux Sends 1–12, Matrix Sends
1–4).
B INPUT METERING POSITION button & indicators
This button is used to set the metering position for Input Chan-
nels to pre-EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader. It works in unison with
the PRE EQ, PRE FADER, and POST FADER buttons for Input
Channels on the Meter pages. The indicators show the current
setting.
C OUTPUT METERING POSITION button & indicators
This button is used to set the metering position for Output
Channels to pre-EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader. It works in unison
with the PRE EQ, PRE FADER, and POST FADER buttons for
Output Channels on the Meter pages. The indicators show the
current setting.
D PEAK HOLD button
This button is used to turn the Peak Hold function on and off. Its
indicator lights up when Peak Hold is on. It works in unison with
the PEAK HOLD buttons on the Meter pages.
E LAYER buttons
These button are used to select Layers for metering. The button
indicator for the currently selected Layer lights up. The [1–24],
[25–48], [49–72], and [73–96] buttons select the Input Layers.
The [MASTER] button selects the Master Layer. The REMOTE
[1–4] buttons select the Remote Layers. If the Meter Follow Layer
preference is on (see page 276), these Layers are selected auto-
matically when the LAYER buttons on the DM2000 are pressed.
The [1–48] button selects Input Channels 1–48, and the [49–96]
button selects Input Channels 49–96, allowing you to meter up
to 48 channels simultaneously.
F TIMECODE counter
This counter displays the current timecode position. When the
Pro Tools Remote Layer is selected, it displays the Pro Tools time-
code.
G Meters
These 12-segment LED meters display the signals levels of the
channels on the currently selected Layer.
H STEREO meters
These 32-segment meters display the signal levels of the Stereo
Out.
I CONTROL ROOM button
This button is used to display the level of the Control Room sig-
nal on the STEREO meters. Its indicator lights up when the STE-
REO meters are displaying Control Room levels.
