What Do The Yellow And Green Colors Mean In The Signal Strength Meter?
The level meter is a single linear meter. Yellow + green is the total sound input level. Yellow is the sound level that is up to the silence threshold. Green is that area where the sound level is greater than the silence threshold. You can have minimal amounts of green and still have decent recognition. The yellow bar will also move when you speak. This is because when you speak, you contribute to the ambient noise in the environment as well. The amount of green vs yellow is not very significant. What you care about is there should be no green present when you are not speaking. Large amounts of yellow mean that the silence threshold is set relatively high, which one would expect in a noisy environment. But if you are not in a noisy environment and you aren’t getting much green when you speak, you may get “clipping” at the beginnings and ends of words.
