FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

 POWER switch & indicator

 glows yellow any time this switch is closed and power has, in fact, actually flowed into the ME 60.

 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.

 Channel LOW and HIGH CUT FILTER controls.

 LOW CUT sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the low cut filter 

(high pass), adjustable from 10 Hz to 250 Hz. HIGH CUT sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the high cut filter (low 

pass), adjustable from 3 kHz to 40 kHz.

 Channels 1 and 2 LEVEL controls

 set the overall desired gain through the unit. The range is from Off to +8 dB for balanced 

use, or from Off to +2 dB with unbalanced inputs. Unity gain is at approximately “6” (balanced) or “7” (unbalanced). Using 

the highest setting (without lighting the Overload 

(OL)

 indicator) yields the best signal-to-noise performance. The

 

OL indicator 

monitors all critical points for excessive signal levels. It lights whenever these levels exceed 3 dB below clipping. Occasional flicker-

ing is normal; however, if it glows steadily, reduce the signal coming from the source, or turn down the LEVEL control.

 Channel BYPASS switches 

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 

ME 60 into a relatively expensive patch cord, but one with pretty lights.
