6.2Signal LED, Clip LED, and VU Meter

To the left of the Channel Level control for the Input channels and to the right of the Channel Level control for the Output channel are the Signal and Clip LEDs. The VU meter for the input and output levels appear on either side of the Channel Level control for the Input chan­nels and on the right of the Channel Level control for the Output channel.

The green Signal LED automatically illuminates when a signal is being received. The red Clip LED automatically illuminates when the signal is clipping., or attempting to deliver an output voltage or cur­rent beyond its maximum capability. Clipping will distort the sound and can damage a speaker.

The VU meter not only illuminates green, yellow, or red (depending on the signal level) but also has a scale ranging from +12 dB to -60 dB to help you indicate the actual signal level.
