LED Level Meter

A row of small lights, located above the Main Mix knob, that provides a visual representation of the level of the audio signal passing through the main mix bus. The LED level indicator consists of a row of LED lights that light up as the level of the signal increases. The LED level indicator is a useful tool for monitoring the level of signals in real-time, and can help prevent distortion or clipping by alerting the user when the signal is too hot. By using the LED level indicator, the user can adjust the level of each channel to ensure that the audio signal is clean and undistorted.
