QUANTUM
BYPASS
To bypass the QUANTUM press the BYPASS button once. All digital dynamic modules are ren-
dered inactive.
The QUANTUM also has a CLONE BYPASS mode, passes the digital audio through the QUAN-
TUM to the digital output directly as it came in—a digital clone. To use the CLONE BYPASS
mode, simply press and hold the BYPASS button for 2 seconds. All other function buttons can-
not be accessed until the BYPASS button is pressed again. The TYPE IV™ Conversion is still
active in some bypass modes to protect against digital clip. If TYPE IV™ were shut off with
bypass, then a signal that enters TSE™ would cause audible clipping.
The following list may help clarify:
BYPASS with ANALOG INPUT, the dither and TYPE IV™ will still be active.
BYPASS with DIGITAL INPUT, digital input levels, the high pass and the dither will still be
active.
CLONE BYPASS with ANALOG INPUT, TYPE IV™ will still be active but uneditable.
CLONE BYPASS with DIGITAL INPUT, is an exact output of the input, nothing will be active.
Analog Meters
The QUANTUM’s analog input meters show the signal after the input controls. These analog
meters are referenced in dBu. The meter will accurately represent the input level only when the
input controls are set to zero.
TSE™ Level Meters
These meters show that the program material has entered into Tape Saturation Emulation. They
will only operate if TYPE IV™ is ON. The “0” will light when the program material has entered
into TSE™. Increments of 4dB steps show the increasing entry into TSE™. A general usage of
TSE™ is: 0-4dB vocals, 4-8dB guitar, 8-12dB drums/highly transient material. Of course, the use
of TSE™ is highly subjective.
