4 A Tour of the GRIP

POWER Button Press this to turn the GRIP on and off. The button is lit
blue when the GRIP is receiving power. This is a “soft”
power switch that does not actually interrupt power, but
simply suspends operation and turns off the front-panel
LEDs.
This knob adjusts the level of the input signal.
This is the green meter that you see on the right side of the
front panel. It displays the average level of the louder of
the Right or Left input signals. It lights from left to right as
the level of the input signal increases.
This indicator is the red light located to the right of the
INPUT meter. When lit it indicates that the input signal is
clipping, which means that the signal is too great for the
GRIP to handle. This can cause unpleasant distortion, so if
this indicator lights up, you should lower the level of the
input signal.
This knob adjusts the frequency of the GRIP’s two-way
crossover. The GRIP will process only those frequencies
that fall below the one you set with the XOVER knob. This
ensures that the unit processes only the frequencies you
want it to process, leaving the higher frequencies unt ouched.
The range of this control sweeps from 40 Hz to 160 Hz.
