for Surround
not at the reference value the display will
show the current value, in dB, relative to
the reference level. The reference level in
dB SPL can be confi gured over a range
of 70.0 to 100.0 dB in one-dB steps. In
many applications a value of 85 would be
appropriate, refl ecting the widely used
audio-for-picture 85 dB monitoring refer-
ence level. (Typically this 85 dB is really
85 dBC, indicating that a C-weighting fi lter
has been applied to the measurement.)
Other common reference SPL values, such
as 82 and 87, are well within the allowable
range.
Auto Reference Level Off
When auto reference level off is enabled,
the function automatically turns the refer-
ence level function off if a change is made
to the rotary level control while the refer-
ence level function is active.
Dim Level
The dim function is used to reduce the
monitor output level by a preset amount.
The reduction is in dB relative to the moni-
tor output’s current level. There are four
dim level values available: –10.0, –15.0,
–20.0, and –25.0 dB.
Remote Mute All
Two confi guration choices are associated
with the remote mute all function: disabled
and enabled. To utilize the remote mute all
function simply requires you to select the
enabled setting.
Remote Dim
Two confi guration choices are associated
with the remote dim function: disabled and
enabled. To utilize the remote dim function
simply confi gure it for enabled.
LFE Downmix
When the surround to stereo downmix
mode is active the LFE channel typically
mutes. When the LFE downmix mode is
confi gured for enabled, the LFE channel
is attenuated by 3 dB and mixed into the
left and right channels. This is provided for
special applications and won’t typically be
used.
Channel Pop Solo Mode
Offset Levels
Two parameters can be confi gured that set
how the channel pop solo function will im-
pact audio levels. The up offset level sets
the amount of increase (gain) that a chan-
nel will experience when it is soloed in the
channel pop solo mode. The down offset
level sets the amount of decrease (attenu-
ation) the non-soloed channels experience
when a channel is active in the channel
pop solo mode.
