10.9 Audio / Metering Ballistics
The response of 4REA4 meters on screen can be adjusted to suit the engineer’s preference.
 To set the global meter source point for Input channels and Busses, click Setup and click the main screen
area in the Meters / Inputs screen.
Use fast Attack and Release for fast response, digital absolute peak meters. This ensures you keep
control and avoid digital clipping of signals including those with very fast dynamics but note that the meters
may read hotter than those on other consoles you are used to.
Use slower Attack and Release to ‘dampen’ the response if required.
The Peak Hold Time can be set from 40ms to 10s or to infinite. This is the amount of time the highest
segment of the meter will stay lit and indicates the highest signal level within such time. It also affects the red
Peak indicator.
 The red peak indicator lights to warn that the signal is within 5dB of clipping. It is multi-point sensing
which means it detects peak activity at several points in the signal path.
Click Peak Hold Reset to clear all current Peak Hold indicators.
