The PlayAUDIO12's Interactive Touch Panel Display is a capacitive touch panel that provides the fol-
lowing features:

l

Dual 8-stage LED meters and independent metering modes for select functions.

l

Note

: The Rotary Control Dial is continuous and can make fine or coarse adjustments depending on how
