I dunno about ignoring it m8. I'm just looking at a picture of an SMX-501 now m8. Those meters have a rather odd range, with big increments on the bottom 4 LEDs and small increments on the rest. You'll find they display apparently less difference than some LED meters. Basically if the 4 LEDs from the 0db down flicker briefly then you have a quieter tune. If those LED spend the majority of the time lit then you have a heavily compressed or limited audio which will sound much louder.

If you ignore or cover the bottom 2 or 3 LEDs, you might find the meters a bit more useful Sy.
