• Fader: will enable the monitor output fader parameter if, for example, there is limited access to the monitor volume control. The fader is accessed by clicking and
dragging in the horizontal rectangle directly below. The horizontal fader bar and dB value will change as you drag.
• Unity: will disable the monitor output fader and make it bit transparent for high quality calibrated monitoring.
• REF: will make use of the Reference Gain in the Preferences/General Menu. The Reference Gain may be used for calibrating the monitoring level, if such a
parameter is not available in the monitor output chain.
• DIM: will turn down the monitor output level by the Dim Gain amount set in the Preferences/General Menu (see below).
• The Gain dB readout at the bottom left of the Monitor Output display shows the current output gain applied, which is a combination of the Loudness
Compensation gain, Output Fader gain, REF level and DIM setting.
• The Sample Rate readout shows the project sample rate, which is dened in the Prepare module.
• The PPM meter for the monitor output shows the signal sent to your monitor path. Most of the time it will show signal identical to the Finalizer Master meter but
while you work, the Limiter may temporarily be bypassed and output signal may cross 0 dBFS. This is why the scale goes to +6 dB. Above the meter there is a
sticky Peak lamp indicating that 0 dBFS has been exceeded. It may be reset by clicking on it.
Note: Should you experience temporary clipping in the monitor output path, you can reduce this using the Monitor output Fader. If you experience multiple or nearly
continuous clipping in the monitor path, you may consider lowering the Normalize Level in the Prepare module and this way reserve more margin in the monitor path
while you work.
