VU Meters

Each 8 channel bucket has its own VU meters, which can read Mic/Line input, DAW input or Direct Output.
All VU meters are fitted with LED’s, (no meter light bulbs blowing out in the midst of production).
The LED intensity is controlled through the Global Lights Dim control on the master section.
Turn it up if you work in a bright room, turn it down if you work in a darkened room.
