balanced outputs for proper +4 dBu level.
With audio present, the variable intensity green
LED should be as bright as possible with
the red LED flashing occasionally. (The red
LED flashes when the rear-panel output level
exceeds +4 dBu.)
LEVEL CONTROL
Adjust the LEVEL control for proper
audio level on the VU meters.
BALANCED TO UNBALANCED VU METERS
LEFT and RIGHT LED VU meters monitor the unbalanced
outputs for proper -10 dBV level. With audio present, the
variable intensity green LED should be as bright as possible
with the red LED flashing occasionally. (The red LED
flashes when the front-panel output level exceeds -10 dBV.)
LEVEL CONTROL
Adjust the LEVEL control for proper audio level on the VU meters.
