5 2 STUDIO 24 REFERENCE MANUAL

The Studio 24 has been designed with plenty of headroom on the internal summing

amplifiers (23 dB of headroom above a +4 dBu balanced output level). It is only

possible to clip the mixer internally if several channels are at or near their maximum

clipping point (with PEAK indicators flashing) and then sent at maximum gain to an

output. You are in danger of this if:

• the meter is hitting the top of its range (“PK”) with the GROUP MASTER

FADER set to nominal level, or

• the GROUP or MASTER FADER is set to -20 or lower, and the MASTER LED

Meter is reading 0 dB or above.

Once again, it may be necessary to decrease either the TRIM control, the Channel

FADERS, or both, of each of the Channels assigned to the Group.

Maintain Proper System Levels

As a good rule of thumb, try to run most volume level controls of other equipment

receiving signal from the Studio 24 (amplifiers, effect devices) at 3/4 or 75% of full, as

well. This will decrease the possibility of overload distortion and keep the amount of

background noise to a minimum.
