EQ BYPASS switch
When pressed to BYPASS, the filter sliders
have no effect. Since actual unity gain
depends on varying slider settings, use the
BYPASS switch to determine the unity gain
position of the INPUT LEVEL control by
comparing ACTIVE and BYPASS volumes.
Filter level slide controls
Each of these sliders control the output level
of both channels of the 30 bandpass filters.
Center position is grounded for guaranteed
flat response.
Cable Wiring
In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI
standards, XLR wiring convention is pin 2
Positive (hot), pin 3 Negative (cold), and
pin 1 Signal ground (for unbalanced use).
Pin 1 and the connector case or shell are
tied to chassis ground.
INPUT LEVEL control and indicators
This controls the overall level. 0 dB gain is reached at
the center detent with all sliders centered at their 0 dB
detents. Set the INPUT LEVEL to give equal volumes
with the EQ switched to ACTIVE or BYPASS, after
setting the sliders (see EQ BYPASS switch below).
Apply sufficient signal to the input to occasionally light
the +4 dBu indicator. Flashing of the OL (overload)
LED during peaks can be avoided by turning the INPUT
LEVEL or boosted Filters down.
