LEVEL LED METER (1)
This LED array indicates level from –10 dB to +17 dB.
LEVEL CONTROL (2)
This calibrated, detented control regulates overall gain of the EQUALIZER SECTION (5). Unity gain
throughout the signal chain can be maintained by recovering lost signal gain at this point. The equalization
process may result in noticeable signal loss. To compensate for this loss, engage the BYPASS (6) switch and
compare the signal level with that of the equalized level. Increase the GAIN control until the equalized level
approximates that of the bypassed level. Let your ears be your guide.
VARIABLE LOW-CUT FILTER (3)
This control adjusts the variable-state low-cut filter that rejects frequencies below the point selected.
Frequency roll-off is 18 dB per octave. This filter will operate even with the BYPASS (6) switch engaged.
VARIABLE HIGH-CUT FILTER (4)
This control adjusts the variable-state high-cut filter that rejects frequencies above the point selected.
Frequency roll off is 18 dB per octave. This filter will operate even with the BYPASS (6) switch engaged.
EQUALIZER SECTION (5)
These calibrated, detented controls adjust the amount of cut or boost at their respective frequencies. They
are adjustable from -12 dB (cut) to +12 dB (boost) or -6 dB (cut) to 6 dB (boost) depending on the position
of the Range switch.
BYPASS (6)
This switch allows the signal to bypass all features except the LOW-CUT FILTER (4). When this switch is
engaged, the signal is routed from INPUT (10 and 11) though the low-cut filter to the channel’s output. Bypass
is indicated by illumination of LED above the switch.
RANGE (7)
This switch allows the selection of range (+/-12 dB or +/-6 dB) of the Equalizer Section controls. This gives
the operator the ability of finer control of the equalization.
POWER (8)
This 2-position rocker switch applies mains power to the unit
when in the ON position. The adjacent red LED indicates
mains power activation.
