FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1
POWER switch & indicator:
The yellow LED lights any time this switch is closed and power is, in fact, actually flowing into the
GE 60.
2
Filter level controls
set the individual levels for each of the constant-Q filters. Their range is ±12 dB, and the grounded center-de-
tent design ensures individual filters are off and bypassed when positioned to their centers.
3
LOW CUT FILTER control
sets the corner frequency (–3 dB point) for the low cut filter (high pass). Adjustable from 10 Hz to
250 Hz.
4
HI CUT FILTER control
sets the corner frequency (–3 dB point) for the high cut filter (low pass). Adjustable from 3 kHz to 40
kHz.
5
Channel LEVEL control
sets the overall desired gain through the unit. The range is from Off to +8 dB for balanced use, or from
Off to +2 dB for unbalanced operation. Unity gain is at approximately “8” (balanced) or “10” (wide open, unbalanced). Using the
highest setting (without lighting the
OL
indicator) yields the best signal-to-noise performance.
6
OVERLOAD indicator
LED monitors all critical points for excessive signal levels. It lights whenever these levels exceed 4 dB
below clipping. Occasional flickering is normal; however, it should not be allowed to light steadily.
7
BYPASS switch & indicator:
This pushbutton switch activates the “hard-wire” bypass function. When engaged (red
BYPASS
LED
on
), all three pins of the
INPUT
connectors directly connect to the same pins on the
OUTPUT
connectors (hard-wired).
Engaging this switch converts the GE 60 into a relatively expensive patch cord, but one with pretty lights.
