Topic: Calculate or show balance values in dB

When we use balance control, we can see the selected value between L100 through <C> to R100.
Is it possible to switch the display of this value or re-calculate this values to dB?
I need this information in dB to consider it in channel specific EQs (I love this function :-) )

Re: Calculate or show balance values in dB

You will have to write down a table yourself. Simply feed a 0 dBFS fullscale sine, set meters to post, change Balance and the level meter shows the values in dB.

Re: Calculate or show balance values in dB

Thanks,
I have almost understood :-)

Writing down the table is OK, but where can I change the meters to post?

Please try SETUP, Options, Display
It is described in the manual, chapter 14.1.5 Display, paragraph Hor. Meter

Re: Calculate or show balance values in dB

The scaling is voltage linear or in –%.
Down to a Balance value of 30 the steps represent 0.1 dB +/-0.1 dB.
  5 is -0.44 dB
10 is -0.91 dB
15 is -1.40 dB
20 is -1.93 dB
25 is -2.49 dB
30 is -3.09 dB
35 is -3.73 dB
40 is -4.43 dB
45 is -5.19 dB
50 is -6.02 dB
90 is -20.00 dB
