Hi All!
Another stupid question on the DL32R... on the iPad app, what are the meters actually metering? The reason I ask is because I get activity on the meters even before the gain is turned up, the trims are changed, or even a cable is plugged in!!!! When setting up the mixer with nothing plugged into the inputs, I will see levels active on the channels. On my kick drum mic, I see full signal before I even touch raise the input gain (the mic is a Beta 52).
Is there a place to change the meters to be post gain / post trim? It seems like they currently are pre-gain / pre-trim.
Or, do I have an issue, and need to get ahold of tech support for Mackie?
Thanks!!!!

Not a stupid question at all. I don't have a DL32R but the the meters for my DL1608 are metering input gain like on my regular analogue mixer. Nothing plugged into those channels.
And yes I too get readings on the meters of channels with nothing plugged in. Doesn't seem to affect anything else though. Maybe a normal characteristic of this kind of mixer !?

Happens on my DL1608. I always figured it was bleed over, but I can't hear anything on those channels. (Maybe the signal is just too low.) Good question for Mackie. (It doesn't affect the functionality of the mixer, so it will probably get a very low priority.) Could just be a quirk that we have to live with.

It goes away when something is plugged in - not a problem.
