FBQ2496 and leds..

**hasse_swe** · **02-27-08, 07:53 PM**

hello!
doesn't the 2496 have the ability to show output levels on the leds?
only "clip" led that shows when output is too high?....no "warnings before"?..no, how much headrom you may have left?

No, it seems to me that the FBQ VU meter only monitors input level......

ok...to bad.. =/

and yes..while i'm in search for answers

.. is the "apply 1ft to sub-distance" also for the 2496?
or is it only for the Dsp1124?
thanks/H

The delay compensation would be the same for the 2496 as the 1124....

Without an output VU meter/clip light, is it fair to say that if you only use cut filters that the output wouldn't be clipped as long as the input doesn't show as clipping? Or not that simple?

Is the above true for both the FBQ2496 and the DSP1124P ?

It's just that simple - yep.

If your input level is set such that there is no headroom at the input, then any gain will clip the output. You must always lower the input level to below maximum with a BFD when you add any gain.
