Peavey PM 1 Music Mixer User Manual


 
OUTPUTS
The PM One features two different stereo outputs. These outputs are designed for the different
types of inputs found on various external equipment. Pay close attention to ensure you have
selected the right output for your application. Always use quality, shielded cables and verify a good
connection.
5. OUTPUT RECORD
These stereo RCA tape output jacks provide a signal for the recording inputs of a stereo tape deck.
The output signal is a -10 dBu representation of the Output Amp (6) signal.
6. OUTPUT AMP
These stereo RCA output jacks provide a line level signal for the inputs of a stereo power amplifier
and/or its associated equipment. When the Master Mono/Stereo Switch (15) is in the Mono
position, the left and right outputs become two mono outputs with an equal mix of the left and right
signals. When the Equalizer Switch (20) is on, the left and right signals will be equalized by their
respective EQÕs prior to being mixed. Therefore, the stereographic EQ comes before the switch.
This allows you to EQ the left and right channels separately, before they are mixed into a mono
signal.
INPUTS
The PM One has a variety of input combinations on various channels to give you a vast selection.
This will allow you to connect different types of products to the PM One without the extensive, costly
use of adapters. Play close attention to the descriptions and warnings in this section.
7. CHANNEL INPUTS
Channels 1 and 2 feature identical input options, PHONO and LINE. On these two channels you
may select, using the Input Select Switch (14), either PHONO (for phono players) or LINE (for line
level products such as CD, Minidisc, drum machine or DAT). This type of configuration allows you
to connect both types of products to the same channel and conveniently select between them
during a performance. Remember that this combination of inputs, PHONO and LINE, is only
available on Channels 1 and 2.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL INPUT SELECT SWITCH FROM THE LINE
POSITION TO THE PHONO POSITION WHILE THE CHANNEL FADER IS TURNED UP ABOVE
Ò3Ó AND MATERIAL IS BEING PLAYED. THESE TWO TYPES OF SIGNALS DIFFER IN LEVEL.
SWAPPING BETWEEN THEM WILL NOT ALWAYS PRODUCE EQUAL OUTPUTS FROM THE
PM ONE. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO BOTH HEARING AND/OR EQUIPMENT.
Channels 3 and 4 are different, however. Channel 3 offers two stereo LINE inputs. No PHONO
inputs are available for Channel 3. You may select between the two LINE inputs using the Input
Selector Switch for Channel 3. Channel 4 has only one stereo input since its Input Selector Switch
is used to select the Mic 2 Input (10).
All output levels from your external equipment should be set to maximum levels without causing
distortion. This can sometimes be more evident by listening to the specific channel in the Cue
through headphones. One important thing to remember is that your objective is to place all
channels at very close input levels. This will make for a smoother, more accurate transition from
one device to another during crossfade and channel select operations.
NOTE: All stereo inputs are RCA connectors with the tip wired positive.
