CONNECTION

The diagram below shows an example of how to connect the PM350b for proper operation.

OPERATION

Make sure the Rolls PS27 12VDC power supply is connected to an active AC outlet, and all audio connections are in place.

• The LINE INPUT connects to either a 1/4" stereo or mono plug. If this plug is

Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo and you're sending a stereo signal to this jack, select

the STEREO setting of the Mono/Stereo jumper. If the plug is Tip-Sleeve

mono, select the MONO setting of the Mono/Stereo jumper. The MONO

setting is also the proper selection if you are phantom powering the PM350b.

• The MIC INPUT connects to either a dynamic or condenser microphone via

a standard XLR cable. If you are using a condenser type mic, you will need to

power it via phantom power from the mixer which connects to the MIC THRU

jack. This jack will pass the phantom power from a mixer on to the micro-

phone.

• Connect the MIC THRU jack to the mixer or snake as necessary.

• The INSTRUMENT INPUT connects to a guitar preamp output, keyboard, or

any stereo or mono instrument level signal. Again, selecte stereo or mono.

• The INSTRUMENT OUTPUTs are electronically isolated and converts the

• Setting the Mono/Stereo jumpers;

If the input to the LINE INPUT or INSTRUMENT INPUT is a Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo signal, set the Mono/Stereo jumper for stereo operation as shown here.

If the signal to the LINE INPUT or INSTRUMENT INPUT is Tip-Sleeve mono, move the jumper to connect the "mono" pins.

NOTE: If the LINE INPUT mono/stereo jumper is missing, only one side of the headphones/earphones will work.

high impedance INSTRUMENT INPUT signal to low impedance so it can be

sent down a balanced line. These signals may then be plugged into an XLR

input on a mixer or snake by using a 1/4" TRS to XLR cable. Note that the

level of this signal may be too high for a mixer's microphone input - you may

experience distortion. In this

event, turn down the instrument

• Phantom Powering the PM350b

A very useful feature of the PM350b is the ability to send the 12VDC power to the unit via the LINE INPUT ring connection. Make sure the Mono/Stereo jumper is in the MONO position. Connect the 12VDC to the Ring of the TRS plug as shown here.

ROLLS WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR

DAMAGE DONE TO THE PM350 AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER USE OF THIS

FEATURE. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW TO DO THIS CORRECTLY, CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH- NICIAN.

NOTE: This unit cannot be powered by standard 48 Volt Phantom Power supplied by

mixers, phantom power adapters etc. The current (amperes) is insufficient to power the PM350b. Also, any voltage greater than 16 VDC will damage the unit.

GROUND LIFT

The Mic Input and Mic Thru have a ground lift jumper provided to lift the XLR pin 1 from chassis ground. The 1/4" TRS Instrument Outputs also have this feature. If you experience a "hum" on the microphone or instrument outputs, lifting the ground may elliminate the problem. To lift the ground, use a pair of

needle-nose pliers and carefully remove the header jumper. Replace the 4 jumper on the two pins labled "lift".
