Mackie DL806 and DL1608 Reference Guide Channel Faders and Input Meters The touch sensitive faders adjust the level of each channel going to the selected output. Adjustments are made by touching and dragging channel faders up and down. Touched channel faders will "grow & glow" to indicate that they are being adjusted. The fader level ranges from -∞ to +10 dB as indicated by the scale on the left. The input meters (next to each channel fader) display the input signal level to the channel before all channel processing. Changes made to the EQ, mute and fader do not affect these meters. This meter should remain green with the occasional bump into the yellow zone. Turn down the gain knob if the input meter remains consistently yellow. If the input is too high [overloading], a clip indicator at the top of the meter will illuminate red. If clipping occurs, reduce the gain. Red [clipping] = -3 dBFS Green to yellow = -18 dBFS Green [bottom] = -90 dBFS Selected Output Indicators Directly to the right of each input meter (and underneath each fader cap) are the selected output indicators. These vary by color for clear indication of which output type is currently selected. The output type will be discussed in greater detail in the master fader section, starting on page 44. There is no way you would ever see the image as shown below. It is just a point of reference. As mentioned above, each selected output has a different color for clear indication of which output type is currently selected. This is especially useful in the mixer view.

Channel Faders and Input Meters
The touch sensitive faders adjust the level of each channel going to the selected output.
Adjustments are made by touching and dragging channel faders up and down. Touched channel
faders will “grow & glow” to indicate that they are being adjusted. The fader level ranges from
–∞ to +10 dB as indicated by the scale on the left.
The input meters (next to each channel fader) display the input signal level to the channel before all
channel processing. Changes made to the EQ, mute and fader do not affect these meters. This meter
should remain green with the occasional bump into the yellow zone. Turn down the gain knob if the
input meter remains consistently yellow. If the input is too high [overloading], a clip indicator at the
top of the meter will illuminate red. If clipping occurs, reduce the gain.
Red [clipping] = –3 dBFS
Green to yellow = –18 dBFS
Green [bottom] = –90 dBFS
Selected Output Indicators
Directly to the right of each input meter (and underneath each fader cap) are the selected output indicators.
These vary by color for clear indication of which output type is currently selected.
The output type will be discussed in greater detail in the master fader section, starting on page 44.
There is no way you would ever see the image as shown below. It is just a point of reference.
As mentioned above, each selected output has a different color for clear indication of which
output type is currently selected. This is especially useful in the mixer view.
