Note: This is not a hard wired bypass. The audio still passes through the
input and output stages but enhancement sidechains are turned off.

3.4 AURAL EXCITER HARMONICS CONTROL
This control adjusts the amount of harmonics
being generated by the exciter. It controls the
texture and detail of the effect. The MIN posi-
tion is generally considered NORMAL, and
is useful for voices and total mixes. The MAX
position is most useful on specifi c tracks, espe-
cially percussive instruments, horns, guitars
and digital instruments.
3.5 AURAL EXCITER FREQUENCY CONTROL
The Aural Exciter Frequency control adjusts
the corner frequency of the high pass fi lter,
thus setting the range of frequencies being
enhanced by the Aural Exciter. The range of
the corner frequency is 600Hz (fully counter
clockwise) and 5kHz (fully clockwise). The 12
o'clock setting is approximately 3kHz. As the
tune control is adjusted clockwise, less and less
mid-frequency enhancement will take place.
3.6 AURAL EXCITER AMOUNT CONTROL
This control varies the amount of enhance-
ment mixed back into the original signal from
the sidechain.
3.7 PROCESS ON/OFF BUTTONS
These lighted Process On/Off buttons allow you
to turn each processor on and off individually.
The buttons glow green when processing is on.
They are dark when processing is off. Switching
the button back and forth offers a quick A/B
comparison, allowing you to hear the enhance-
ments from the Aural Exciter and/or Optical Big
Bottom separately in your program content.
