OVERLOUD GEMS
speci

c
Gems
do emulate units to be used at higher gain levels. For those ones, Oversampling
might be a preference or even recommended.
VU-Meter calibration
Gems meters (or graphic displays) are calibrated to show a level of 0
VU when fed by a 1
KHz sine
wave with a peak level of -14
dBFS, which is the factory calibration.
You can select one from a list of four: -8, -14, -18 and -21 dBFS.
Zoom
The graphic engine of all Gems supports the Zoom capability. The rendering scale factor can be
changed making the whole graphic appearance larger or smaller respect to the standard size.
Di
ff
erent scale factors are available and at each new selection the interface window gets resized
instantly.
The Zoom feature is very handy when the Gem is working on a dense very high resolution dis-
play, for example. When the standard size would make it look small and hard to use.
Another typical situation is when the Gem is running on a smaller laptop display, and it has to
cooperate with other windows by sharing smaller spaces. In this case a smaller percentage could
be selected to reduce its size accordingly.
