Level Indicator
Each channel has a level LED that lights green when the audio level is adequate for
automatic mixing. It should remain green when no one is talking.
• If the level indicator blinks, raise the console’s channel input gain, and/or move
the +4/-10 switch on the rear panel to -10.
• If the level LED lights red, lower the console’s channel input gain and/or move the
+4/-10
switch on the rear panel to +4 until it stays green at all times.
Bypass
When bypass is active, the signal passes through without A/D and D/A conversion or
automixing. A bypassed channel appears inactive, with all lights extinguished.

Man and bypass modes are similar:
• bypass makes an instantaneous transition, which can cause an audible click. It is
a hardware bypass and therefore has no signal latency.
• man performs a quick fade without sonic artifacts. It has the same signal latency
as auto mode.
Since analog channels 1–12 are bypassed when the power is off, it is not necessary to
unpatch the Model E-2 if not in use.
To deactivate bypass , you can:
• Click bypass again;
- OR -
• Click any of the three channel mode buttons.
