Press this button to save a newly created or edited

  INPUT Level Meter
These five LEDs light to indicate the level of the 
incoming audio. Ideally, you should adjust the input to 
the highest level that does not consistently cause the 
top red LED to light. (The red LED lights at a level of 
–3 dB. Digital clipping, which introduces a particularly 
nasty-sounding distortion, will occur if the input 
exceeds 0 dB.)
NOTE
The TA-1VP’s front panel meters are designed to give you 
a quick overview of what’s going on with the various 
modules. For precise parameter adjustments, appropriate 
modules provide high resolution meter displays on their 
various LCD pages.
