Bypass
All channels have relay bypass. Bypass is from the
output of the LFE filter to the input of the Output
Level Control *.
If a channel routed to a sidechain is bypassed, its connection to the sidechain is maintained. This
means that other channels controlled by that sidechain are unaffected and allows a channel to
control others without being compressed itself (as though it were another key input).
Two bypass modes are available, single or master. In single mode each switch bypasses its
respective channel. In master mode all channels are controlled together from the channel 1 bypass
button.
Master mode is toggled by pressing and holding the channel 1 bypass switch and is indicated by the
MST LED to the left of channel 1 being lit. If individual channels are placed in Bypass mode, the
Master Bypass function then becomes a Group Bypass control for the remaining channels.
-
* In Master Mode individual channels can be deselected from the master group and will remain
in local bypass indicated by permanently lit bypass buttons.
-
* The elements outside the bypass loop are designed to be audibly transparent. Typical
distortion in bypass is <0.0008% at 1kHz, typical 20Hz-20kHz band noise is <-90dBu.
