metering for the Fairlight DREAM Station integrated mixer/editor. The Station is 
part of a new family of products from Fairlight which marries together QDC

significant impact on productivity and efficiency. The Station and Station Sidecar 
combination offers a flexible and scaleable solution to a range of audio production 
and post-production tasks.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

The DREAM Station Channel Meter Panel Installation Manual provides the infor-
mation necessary to install and operate the unit with a DREAM Station Sidecar. 
This manual should be used in conjunction with the DREAM Station and Sidecar 
Installation and User Manuals to obtain complete instruction in the use and instal-
lation of the complete system.

This manual is designed to familiarize sound editors and engineers with the facilities 
provided by the Station Channel Meter Panel. The terminology and concepts used 
in this manual assume a reasonable knowledge regarding audio principles and studio 
procedures.

USING THE STATION CHANNEL METER PANEL

The Station Channel Meter Panel includes twelve, 55mm multi-segment bargraph 
LED signal level meters. The Station Channel Meter Panel displays the signal level 
of the feeds associated with the faders in the current Sidecar fader set. The meters 
display feed levels only. If a bus or link group is included in a fader set, those meters 
will show no signal.

Use the fader set keys to display the feeds you wish to meter on the Sidecar.

The Station Channel Meter Panel displays peak program level.
