FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
ቢ ON switch & indicator glows yellow any time this switch is closed and power has, in fact, actually flowed into the ME 60.
ባ Filter level controls set the individual levels for each of the constant-Q filters. Their range is ±12 dB, and the grounded
center-detent design ensures individual filters are off and bypassed when positioned to their centers.
ቤ LO CUT FILTER control sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the low cut filter (high pass). Adjustable from 10 Hz
to 250 Hz.
ብ HI CUT FILTER control sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the high cut filter (low pass). Adjustable from 3 kHz
to 40 kHz.
ቦ CHANNEL LEVEL control sets the overall desired gain through the unit. The range is from Off to +8 dB for balanced
use, or from Off to +2 dB for unbalanced operation. Unity gain is at approximately “6” (balanced) or “7” (unbalanced).
Using the highest setting (without lighting the OL indicator) yields the best signal-to-noise performance.
ቧ OVERLOAD indicator monitors all critical points for excessive signal levels. It lights whenever these levels exceed 3 dB
below clipping. Occasional flickering is normal; however, it should not be allowed to light steadily.
ቨ BYPASS switch & indicator. This pushbutton switch activates the “hard-wire” bypass function. When engaged (red
BYPASS LED on), all three pins of the input connectors directly connect to the same pins on the output connectors (hard-
wired). Engaging this switch converts the ME 60 into a relatively expensive patch cord, but one with pretty lights.
