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
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.
