3. Using a normal speaking voice, adjust the console input trim controls to the highest
possible gain without clipping.
The input gain to the Model E-3 should be high enough keep the level LED lit
green during silences. If the input trim controls do not provide enough level, set
the +4/-10 switch to the -10 position.
If the preamp gain controls are set too low, the inputs drop below their minimum
operating level. This causes downward expansion to prevent feedback but the
smooth ambience is disrupted.
