Beachtek vu meter question
I have a beachtek vu meter for my beacktek dxa-6. My question deals with the levels of power the lights should be at. Is there a general rule of thumb or a link to a chart that would show me what range to keep sound in for different situations? Im suprised it didnt come with one. Thanks for the help.

John, A good rule of thumb when working with audio on a digital camcorder is to keep the levels around 14 on the meters. With analog audio, 0 is the key level, but for digital, around 14 is the way to go.
Can any of our audio experts expand on this a bit more??? Thanx, |

So should I let it peak at 12 or keep it in general around 12? Maybe just slightly peaking above 12? Thanks for the advice by the way.
