Main MIX

STANDARD INSTALLATION

∙Position the master faders in the range between –30dB and –20dB.

∙Establish a basic mix, using the channel faders, so that the individual sound levels relate to each other according to your personal taste.

∙The best range for the channel faders to be set to is in the area of –5dB to 0dB. In this way you are provided with enough tolerance for later adjustments.

∙Use the master faders to adjust the overall volume.

∙In case you are using the FX units, please proceed like this:

1.Adjust the AUX1/FX1 send controls at their center position.

2.Adjust the FX1 return fader at the –5dB mark.

3.Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired effect preset.

4.Press the FX ON button.

5.Play the sound source of the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal, using the AUX/FX controls

of this input channel. Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in your effect mix.

6.Adjust the AUX/FX SEND controls, so that the Peak LED only lights frequently at highly dynamic signal peaks. If necessary, repeat steps 1 - 6 for the second internal FX unit (FX2).

MONITOR MIX

∙To successfully adjust your stage monitors, turn off your audience mix on the PSX but keep the on-stage mix alive.

∙Lower the setting of the AUX3 fader within the master section.

∙Engage the AUX3 POST button within the master section.

∙Adjust the AUX3 faders of all input channels that are momentarily in use at their center position. In this way the main mix and the monitor mix are completely identical.

∙Push the AUX3 fader up until low-level feedback is heard.

∙Activate the FEEDBACK FILTER and adjust its control, so that the feedback disappears.

∙Use the AUX3 fader to reduce the AUX3 level by about –6dB. This will provide you with enough “headroom” to avoid feedback during the performance, even when some microphone positions are changed for the worse.

∙Use the FX to AUX3 control to add the effects mix to the monitor without influencing the main mix. Normally, the monitor mix uses a smaller amount of effects than the main mix.

Let the artists perform some and check the sound of the system from different angles and distances. If you come to the conclusion that some corrections in the overall sound are necessary, activate the 7-band equalizer and adjust the sound to your liking. By doing so, you should keep in mind, that during the performance the sound will be changed when the audience is present and has a major effect on the acoustical condition of the room, the degree of first reflections, and the absorption of low frequencies. If possible, you should check the sound “in the house” during the performance and – if necessary – adjust it to the changed conditions.

We wish you lots of fun and success with your new PSX mixer.

PSX1600, PSX1000, PSX2200 specifications

Electro-Voice, a prominent name in professional audio equipment, has developed a series of high-performance power amplifiers known as the PSX series, which includes the PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 models. These amplifiers are engineered to deliver exceptional power, clarity, and reliability, making them suitable for a variety of applications such as live sound, installations, and portable use.

The PSX2200 is the most powerful model in the PSX lineup, offering a robust output of 2,200 watts at 4 ohms. This amplifier is designed to handle demanding audio environments, providing headroom and performance necessary for large audiences. One of its key features is the Peak х-Over Limiting technology, which ensures that the amplifier delivers maximum power without distortion during peak performance. Additionally, the PSX2200 is equipped with built-in high-pass and low-pass filters, allowing users to tailor the sound to their specific needs.

The PSX1000 represents a mid-range option that still packs a punch, delivering 1,000 watts at 4 ohms. It is designed for versatility, making it ideal for a range of sound reinforcement applications. One standout feature of the PSX1000 is its Intelligent Clip Limiting system, which automatically adjusts the input signal to prevent clipping and maintain audio clarity. Moreover, the amplifier features a rugged chassis and intuitive interface, which enhances both durability and ease of use in various settings.

The PSX1600 serves as a bridge between the PSX1000 and PSX2200, offering 1,600 watts at 4 ohms. It incorporates advanced thermal management technology, ensuring stable performance even under demanding conditions. The PSX1600 is engineered for reliability, featuring extensive protection circuitry that safeguards against issues like over-temperature, short circuits, and signal overloads. This amplifier is particularly favored for its ability to maintain sound quality during prolonged use.

All three models in the PSX series share common characteristics such as a lightweight design, durable construction, and efficient power supply systems, making them highly portable and easy to integrate into existing sound systems. The PSX amplifiers are also equipped with comprehensive monitoring capabilities, including LED indicators that provide visual feedback on power and operational status.

In summary, the Electro-Voice PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 represent a powerful trio of amplifiers that offer versatility and reliability for professional audio applications. With their advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and impressive performance specifications, these amplifiers are well-suited to meet the demands of sound engineers and audio professionals alike.
