Front Panel Description
1
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 moni-
tors all critical points for excessive signal levels. It lights whenever these levels exceed 3 dB below clipping. Occasional flickering is
normal; however, if it glows steadily, reduce the signal coming from the source, or turn down the LEVEL control.
2
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
ME60S into a relatively expensive patch cord, but one with pretty lights.
3
Filter RANGE switch:
The gain range of the filter sliders is switchable (as a group) from ±6 dB for high resolution, to ±12 dB for
maximum boost/cut capability.
4
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.
5
Filter level controls
set the individual levels for each of the constant-Q filters. Their range is set by the RANGE switch
3
. The
grounded center-detent design ensures individual filters are off and bypassed when positioned to their centers.
6
POWER switch & indicator
glows yellow any time this switch is closed and power is, in fact, actually flowing into the ME60S.
