Meters
The System 5 meters are displayed on the TFT screen at the top of each Strip. Each Strip’s meter can be independently set and can
measure:
• Channel: The fader, Swap, Main, or any channel, even one not assigned to that Strip can be metered. There is an option to dis-
play two meters that track different information. When displaying one meter, the dynamics gain reduction is shown to the
right of the channel meter (see figure below).
• Group, Mix, Aux: Any Group, Mix, or Aux Bus.
