== How to interpret the "clip" LEDs == | |||
There are two LEDs on the PS1 powerstand -- one for Channel 1 and another for Channel 2. They work in concert with the trim control on each of these two inputs and are turned on and off depending on the signal level after the gain supplied by the trim control. | |||
These LEDs turn from off to green when there's more than a little bit of signal. Thus GREEN indicates "there's some signal in the channel". This can be useful if for example, you speak into a microphone and the LED does not turn green, which could indicate a broken microphone or defective mic cable. | |||
The LEDs turn from green to red when at a level that leaves 10 dB of headroom before clipping. Said another way, when you see RED on the LED it does NOT mean you are clipping. It means "do not add any more gain on the trim control" and you will have a safe amount of headroom for virtually any performance. | |||
