Metering
LEDs and Metering
There are several basic methods for observing input and output levels on the
MixPre-3M: Channel knob ring LEDs, Channel screen meter, and Home screen’s
meter view.
Channel Knob Ring LEDs
Channel knob ring LEDs - Each LED ring is capable of displaying green, orange
and red colors. The brightness of the light ring indicates the level of the input:
green = signal present, red = signal peaking, orange = signal limiting. In
addition, a channel’s ring LED will ash orange when soloed or illuminate solid
red when muted.

Touchscreen
The LEDs around any of the three knobs will also pulse orange if, upon
changing track banks, the knob’s rotational position is not aligned with its
fader value; this pulsing stops once position and value are realigned. For more
information, see Track Bank Selector.
Channel Screen Meter
The Channel screen provides a meter beneath the Track name.
For more information, see Accessing Channel Screen Settings.
