    User Guide (English) Introduction The Rane ME15S microGraphic Equalizer is a two-channel, 2/3-octave design with 20 mm sliders in a single rack space unit. It features a Range switch for high slider resolution in the ±6 dB mode, equivalent resolution to 45 mm sliders found on double rack-space models. The ±12 dB mode provides a wide range of control over system audio.

    Level control by comparing EQ and Bypass volumes. The OL indicator lights up if any section of the ME15S is within 3 dB of clipping. Occasional blinking of these LEDs is acceptable, but if they remain on more than intermittently, turn down either the equalizer’s Level control(s) or reduce the output level of the preceding component to avoid distortion.

    ME15S is optimized when there is no sound level difference between the bypassed and the active positions. The overall gain range of the level control for the ME15S is off to +6 dB for unbalanced operation, or off to +12 dB for balanced operation. The level difference between the equalizer in bypass or active can be significant.

    Tone Contouring If a ME15S is used for tone contouring by ear, be careful about adding upper bass (63 Hz to 200 Hz) as this causes “muddiness” or loss of definition (also see the previous warning about boosting frequencies below 63 Hz).
