Samson E31I - Manual (Page 7)

Guided Tour - E62i / E31i / E30i
Front Panel
4: Cut Only switches (E62i and E31i only) - When pressed in, the LED above the switch
lights and all the Equalizer sliders serve to attenuate their frequency areas only (there is no
boost) by up to 12 or 24 dB, depending upon the setting of the ±12 dB switch (see #7
below). The Cut Only switch should be used when you need to notch out certain
frequencies in order to reduce feedback or “ring out” a room. See the “Ringing Out A
Monitor System” section in this manual (page 17) for more information. In the E62i,
independent Cut Only switches are provided for each of the two channels (Channel A and
Channel B).
5: Bypass switches - When pressed in, the LED to the left of the switch lights red and
the equalization circuitry is made inactive so that the signal passes through unaffected,
regardless of the settings of the Equalizer or Level sliders. When out (in the up position),
the LED to the left of the switch lights green and the E62i equalization circuitry affects the
signal as per the setting of the front panel Equalizer and Level sliders (see #1 and #2 on
the previous page for more information). In the E62i and E30i, independent Bypass
switches are provided for each of the two channels (Channel A and Channel B).
6: HPF (High Pass Filter) switches - When pressed in, the LED to the left of the switch
lights and an 80 Hz highpass filter is applied to the signal, effectively removing rumble and
other low frequencies. In the E62i and E30i, independent HPF switches are provided for
each of the two channels (Channel A and Channel B).
7: ±12 dB switches (E62i and E31i only) - When pressed in, the LED to the left of the
switch lights and the Equalizer sliders cut or boost each frequency area by up to 12 dB,
allowing coarse frequency curves to be set. When out (in the up position), the Equalizer
sliders cut or boost each frequency area by up to 6 dB, allowing finer control and gentler
frequency curves to be set. The setting of the ±12dB switch also affects how Cut Only
operates—see #1 on the previous page for more information. In the E62i, independent
±12 dB switches are provided for each of the two channels (Channel A and Channel B).
