EZ Trim
The ideal input gain setting provides the maximum gain without clipping when the
loudest signal is coming into the input. While it is possible to use the input gain slider
control to set the gain while shouting into a microphone, pounding on drums, or wailing
on a guitar, it’s both quicker and more accurate to let the Echo 2 do it automatically for
you with EZ Trim.
To engage EZ trim, simply press and hold one of the input buttons for two seconds until
the indicator starts to flash. At this point the input gain will be lowered to its lowest level
and the Echo 2 will keep track of the loudest signal. Now sing or play your loudest. All
it takes is a few notes or strums of the guitar. To exit easy trim and have the level set to
its optimum value, simply press the input button again or wait 12 seconds from when
the indicator started to flash. Pressing any other button cancels EZ Trim and the input
level will be left untouched.
Upon exiting EZ Trim, the input level will be set so that the loudest signal it received will
register 2dB below full scale, or clipping. This extra headroom can be useful if you
happen to play or sing a bit louder than during the sample period.
Input Monitoring
Each input may be monitored, or passed through to the outputs. The slider control sets
the monitor level from muted at the bottom to full (0dB) at the top.
There are two different monitoring modes to choose from. To switch from one to the
other press the MON button for two seconds. The MON indicator LED will either be on
steady or slowly flash to show which monitor mode is currently being used.
Steady LED
– “Live” mode. Each input is monitored equally through both
outputs (center panned).
