SL-610 Front & Back Panels

ACTIVE/BYPASS
Bypass mode takes the unit out of the signal path so that it will
have no effect on the program. In Active mode, the unit controls
feedback automatically. The two-color "BY" LED lights green
when the unit is in Active mode and lights red when in Bypass
mode.

12VDC ADAPTOR
The FBX external power supply (single unit power supply;
model #S-PSU1) is included with the unit. Use of any other
power supplies may cause permanent damage to the unit and
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

MEMORY:
The FBX stores the positions and depths of the filters in nonvolatile internal memory when the unit is turned off or during a power
failure.  The unit will return all filters to their previous frequencies and depths when it is turned back on.

BYPASS MODE:

The SL-610 has a true power-off bypass. The signal is unaffected in bypass mode even if the unit is turned off. If the
unit is in active mode, no signal will pass if the power is off.

Placing the SM-610 in bypass mode only shuts down the FBX function; the microphone preamp still functions when the
unit is in bypass mode. The SM-610 will not pass signal if the power is off in either active or bypass mode.

RESETTING THE FILTERS:
The user must reset the FBX if the microphones or speakers are moved significantly. To reset the unit, press RESET until the LEDs
stop flashing.

POWER DOWN:
Place the unit in BYPASS MODE before removing power from the unit.

LOCK FIXED FILTERS
When the "LOCK FIXED" button is pressed, its LED will light to
indicate that the FBX is in "LOCK FIXED" mode.  "LOCK
FIXED" mode can be activated at any time after system setup
and will stay on until the button is pressed again and the LED
turns off.

FILTER ACTIVITY
When one of the unit’s filters is activated, the corresponding
LED lights.  A blinking LED indicates the filter that was most
recently activated.

RESET
Press until the LEDs stop flashing to reset or clear all filters.

FILTER WIDTH SWITCH
Switch to narrow 1/10-octave filters for music applications or to
wider 1/5-octave filters for spoken word applications. The
change takes effect only on power up. Selecting a new width
has no effect unless you power down and then power up again.

INPUTS & OUTPUTS
The connector labeled IN/OUT serves as both the unit's input
(tip) and output (ring) when used with a single TRS plug. When
used with a Y-cord, use the IN/OUT as the input and the
OUTPUT as the output.
