The meters are labeled as they are in the Main Screen. At the bottom of each
meter, a number indicates the amount of gain or loss being applied to each
channel. If a gain is being applied, the number is indicated in a pink square. If a
loss is being applied, the number is indicated in a green square. If no gain or
loss is being applied, a zero is indicated in a white square. Adjacent to each
meter, a small graphical indication appears, showing the gain or loss from +12
dB to -40 dB.
You can adjust a channel pair by pressing one of the eight Channel Select
buttons
to highlight the icons at the top of the meters and then
turning the Trim knob to
increase or decrease the gain. If the gain is decreased below -40 dB, the channel is
muted and an
M is shown in a red square.
Multiple channel pairs can be adjusted simultaneously by first selecting each one
and then turning the Trim knob to adjust. However, if
Single channel pair selection
is optioned as discussed in the previous section, then only one pair can be adjusted
at a time.
You can adjust an individual channel by repeatedly pressing the Channel Select
button until only the channel you want to adjust is highlighted. Then turn the Trim
knob to adjust it.
The settings in the Speaker and Analog Output Menu and Trim Options Menu
determine whether the trimmed adjustments affect the internal monitor speakers,
the analog outputs, both, or neither. You can also disable access to the Trim
Screen if necessary in the Trim Options Menu. Refer to the Speaker and
Analog Output Menu in Chapter 4 and the Trim Options Menu in Chapter 4.
When the levels of any channels have been trimmed, this flagged in the Main
Screen
to let you know that this has taken place. A red T in a white diamond shape
is shown in the upper left of the screen. Refer to Figure 2–3.
