Information from

the Signal Level

Meters

When configuring the EF1210, it is very important to know which signal level meter

to look at. On the front panel, there are two signal level meters — the I

NPUT

signal

level meter and the R

EMOTE

signal level meter. When configuring the input channels

(microphones 1-8), use the I

NPUT

signal level meter. When configuring the reference

inputs (AEC A and AEC B), use the R

EMOTE

signal level meter.

Take note that unlike a microphone mixer, the signal level meters do not show a total

output signal, meaning the EF1210 does not add up, for example, all eight input sig-

nal levels and show them on the I

NPUT

signal level meter. Instead, what is shown on

the signal level meters is the individual signal level of the input channel or reference.

To display the desired input or reference signal when the EF1210 is in normal opera-

tion (not setup mode), press the appropriate S

ELECT

button. Push the R

ELECT

button to cycle through the two reference inputs. Push the I

NPUT

ELECT

button to

cycle through the eight input channels. Use the LEDs on the right side of the front

panel as an indicator of which level is displayed on the LED meter. The input chan-

nels are indicated by the LEDs labeled C

HANNELS

1-8. Reference inputs are indicated

by the AEC A or AEC B LED.

If you do not see activity on the signal level meter while a talker is talking, do not

immediately assume that the level needs to be turned up. First check to make sure

you are looking at the correct input or reference on the signal level meter.
