4. FRONT PANEL

Input and output VU meters
Each input (1) or output (2) VU meter allows you to read the level of the audio signal, with 40dB, -
20dB, 0dB and CLIP indications.
MUTE keys
These keys, one for each input (3) or output (4), allow to mute the selected input or output by
pressing them. The LED integrated in the key itself indicates the status of its MUTE function (lit red =
MUTE ON).
LCD display (5)
Display showing numeric data and setup menus, settings and device information.
Encoder-type rotary selector
The rotary selector (6) allows you to modify the value of the parameters displayed on the LCD
screen, by increasing or decreasing them depending on the direction of rotation. The rotary ENCODER
features a push function ("SHIFT") in addition to the rotation function. The SHIFT function allows you to
access advanced setup modes and alternate functions of the four navigation keys of the front panel
(reverse silk-screen printing: EXIT, CANCEL, RECALL and SAVE/ENTER).
Setup keys
The four front panel setup keys allow you to navigate through the various menus and their pages,
and access special features thanks to certain combinations of keys pressed simultaneously:
The left and right MENU keys (7, 8) allow you to scroll through the different pages of the unit's
setup menus.
The left and right PARAM keys (9, 10) allow, within a menu and a page, to select the parameter
whose value has to be modified with the rotary encoder (6): the name of the targeted parameter flashes
in the display while its value can be edited.
