Monitoring audio and VU sensitivity
You can connect headphones or external speakers to the 3.5 mm audio jack on the front panel of Pearl-2. To
monitor the audio for a specific channel, just select the channel using the touch screen. The audio you hear
depends on which layout is currently live because different layouts can have different audio sources
configured. To adjust the volume, tap the headphones icon using the touch screen. See Monitoring audio for
details.
A VU meter on the touch screen shows the audio levels for the selected channel.The value is displayed in
dBFS(decibels relative to full scale). Colored bars represent the audio level.
