Comprehensive Monitoring Facilities
Staying in touch with your sound is vital to creating the perfect mix. The PM5D’s in-depth cue, monitor and metering facilities
that let you hear what’s happening at any point in the mix with maximum ease and efficiency.
CUE & SOLO
The PM5D allows three types of Mode: MixCue, Last Cue and Solo. Also PM5D CUE allows four types of cue monitoring: INPUT CUE,
DCA CUE, OUTPUT CUE, and EFFECT or GATE KEY IN CUE with various function settings.
There is also CUE INTERRUPT Function that lets you select whether the MONITOR OUT signal will be affected by cue/solo operation or
not. This is extremely useful in broadcast applications.
MONITOR
The PM5D MONITOR section offers a range of monitor source selection keys: 2 Track In Analog1 and 2, 2 Track In Digital1 through 3
(all with sample rate converters), STEREO A and B for the console’s stereo busses (these buttons can be pressed simultaneously to
allow LCR monitoring), and a DEFINE key that can be assigned to select any source. Also USER DEFINED KEYS can be assigned for this
purpose, so you can monitor-select as many number of source as you like at a touch of a button.
Individual level controls are provided for the MONITOR OUT and PHONES outputs.
TALKBACK
In addition to the talkback microphone signal, the PM5D
TALKBACK setup display allows the signals from any one of the AD
inputs (1 ~ 48) to be mixed with the microphone signal, and
TALKBACK destination can be assigned freely to any of the output
ports. The TALKBACK ON button can be set for latched or
unlatched operation.

PW800W Power Supply
The PM5D is reliably powered by external power supply unit. The PW800W is extremely compact and light weight (3U,
10kg). Thanks to its high efficiency, the low speed cooling fans are extremely quiet, too. Two PW800W units can be
serially connected using the optional PSL120 cable for failsafe operation. PW800W accepts 100 - 240 voltage so it can be
universally used.
