Metering - Yamaha D24 Owner's Manual

Metering

Playback and input signal levels are displayed on the eight 16-segment track meters,
with Peak Hold, and Normal and Fine metering modes.
The 0 dB indicators light up when audio samples reach the maximum digital level. The
OVER indicators light up when several consecutive samples exceed the digital satura-
tion point. When setting recording levels, it's okay for signals to light the 0 dB indicator.
If the OVER indicator lights up, however, you should back off the input level, as shown
below.
