FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. Graphic equalizer filter level controls.

 The Left and Right Channels have eleven slide controls used to set the individual

levels of the constant-Q filters. Their range is ±6 dB. The grounded center-detent design ensures each filter is off when
positioned to 0 dB.

2. Parametric equalizer LEVEL control.

 Two parametric sections are included in each Channel with a ±6 dB range. This

control sets the amount of boost/cut for each parametric section. Same grounded center-detent design as the Graphic
Equalizer sections.

3. Parametric equalizer BANDWIDTH control.

 Slide control used to set the Bandwidth for this filter section. The range is

0.7-3.5 octaves.

4. Parametric equalizer FREQUENCY control.

 Slide control used to determine the center Frequency for this filter section.

The range is 1 kHz-10 kHz.

5. POWER indicator.

 This LED lights any time power is supplied from the Rane model RS 1 power supply (included). To

avoid confusion a distinction is made here between electrical and political.

6. Overall BYPASS switch & indicator.

 This pushbutton switch activates the “hard-wire” BYPASS function. When engaged

(red BYPASS LED 

on

), the INPUT connectors directly tie to the OUTPUT connectors (hard-wired). Engaging this switch

converts the SSE 22 into a relatively expensive patch cord, albeit one with pretty lights. During the initial timed power-up
sequence or power loss of any sort, the SSE 22 is automatically in BYPASS mode.
