Meters
Drive Meter
The Drive meter monitors the peak level to the
harmonic generator. It works in conjunction
with the Drive switch. A red LED at the top of
the meter indicates if there is clipping.
For optimal performance keep the peak hold
meter of the Drive meter inside the yellow area.
The harder you drive the Exciter, the more Ex-
citer enhancement you generate. If you cannot
get the Drive meter to register in the yellow area,
try setting the Drive switch to High (Drive
switch enabled).
Out Meter
The Out meter lets you monitor the output level
after Aural Exciter processing. A red light at the
top of the meter indicates if there is clipping.
If your input material has a peak level, be
careful to prevent clipping when setting the
Mix control.
