The range is from Off to +8 dB for balanced use, or from Off to +2 dB with unbalanced inputs. Unity gain is at approximately "6" (balanced) or "7" (unbalanced). Using the highest setting (without lighting the Overload (OL) indicator) yields the best signal-to-noise performance. The OL indicator monitors all critical points for excessive signal levels. It lights whenever these levels exceed 3 dB below clipping. Occasional flickering is normal; however, if it glows steadily, reduce the signal coming from the source, or turn down the LEVEL control. 2 Channel BYPASS switches 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 ME60S into a relatively expensive patch cord, but one with pretty lights. 3 Filter RANGE switch: The gain range of the filter sliders is switchable (as a group) from ±6 dB for high resolution, to ±12 dB for maximum boost/cut capability. 4 Channel LOW and HIGH CUT FILTER controls. LOW CUT sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the low cut filter (high pass), adjustable from 10 Hz to 250 Hz. HIGH CUT sets the corner frequency (-3 dB point) for the high cut filter (low pass), adjustable from 3 kHz to 40 kHz. 5 Filter level controls set the individual levels for each of the constant-Q filters. Their range is set by the RANGE switch 3. The grounded center-detent design ensures individual filters are off and bypassed when positioned to their centers. 6 POWER switch & indicator glows yellow any time this switch is closed and power is, in fact, actually flowing into the ME60S.
