Rane THX 44 - Manual (Page 4)

Manual-2
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
ቢ Graphic equalizer filter level controls. Each of the Left, Right and Center Channels have eleven slide controls used to set
the individual levels of the interpolating constant-Q filters. Their range is ±6 dB. The grounded center-detent design ensures
all filters are off when positioned to 0 dB.
ባ Parametric equalizer LEVEL control sets the amount of boost/cut for this section. Same grounded center-detent design as
the Graphic Equalizer sections. The range is ±4 dB for the Left, Right, and Center Channels, and
±6 dB for the Subwoofer Channel.
ቤ Parametric equalizer BANDWIDTH control sets the Bandwidth for this filter section. The range is 0.7-3.5 octaves for the
Left, Right, and Center Channels, and 0.5-2.5 octaves for the Subwoofer Channel.
ብ Parametric equalizer FREQUENCY control determines the center Frequency for this filter section. The range is 1k-10
kHz for the Left, Right, and Center Channels, and 20-80 Hz for the Subwoofer Channel.
ቦ POWER indicator lights any time power is supplied from the Rane model RS 1 power supply (included). To avoid
confusion a distinction is made here between electrical and political.
ቧ Overall BYPASS switch & indicator. This pushbutton switch activates the “hard-wire” BYPASS function. When engaged
(red BYPASS LED on), the INPUT connectors directly tie to the OUTPUT connectors (hard-wired). Engaging this switch
converts the THX 44 into a relatively expensive patch cord, albeit one with pretty lights.
During the initial timed power-up sequence, or power loss of any sort, the THX 44 automatically goes into BYPASS mode.
