S6L Control Surface Overview 20
Channel and Gain Reduction Meters
Each channel strip features dual 30-segment signal level meters and a dedicated 10-segment dynamics meter.
Channel Level Meter
For mono channels, only the left meter shows level. For stereo channels, both meters show signal level. The pickoff point for the
input and output channel meters is set on the Options > Interaction page. See Metering for information.
Dynamics Meter
The channel dynamics meter, located between the two channel level meters, show gate activity, gain reduction,
and also provides a 0 dB indicator.
1 – 0 dB Indicator
The 0 dB indicator LED begins to light blue when the fader is near 0 dB. As the fader moves closer to 0 dB the
LED gets brighter and is brightest when at 0 dB, making it easier to set the fader to 0 / unity. The 0 dB LED
also lights blue when Flip to Faders is enabled and gain or a similar (dB) parameter is on the fader. VCA con-
tribution also affects the state of the 0 dB indicator.
2 – Gate Meter
The gate meter provides indication of the corresponding channel’s built-in expander/gate via three LEDs,
which light to indicate gate activity as follows:
3 – Gain Reduction Meter
The gain reduction meter provides indication of gain reduction applied by the channel’s built-in compressor/limiter via six LEDs,
and light to indicate comp/lim activity as follows:
:
Fader
The fader controls the output level for the currently banked input or output channel. When Flip to Faders is active, the fader controls
the send level of the parameter currently flipped to faders (see Flip for more information).

Events.
You can set a preference so that touching a fader automatically attentions that channel. See Channel Selection for more in-
formation.
