BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS

ABOUT THE BALANCED INPUT JACKS

qThe PM-11S1 uses XLR connectors for the BALANCED INPUT jacks. XLR connectors are widely used with profes- sional equipment because of the following features.

•Incoming music signals are balanced, therefore they are little affected by external noise.

•The detachable locking mechanism minimizes connec- tor play and enhances connection reliability.

wThere are two ways to connect the XLR connectors. 1.In the USA

Your speaker system must satisfy the below conditions. If it does not, the PM-11S1’s protective circuit will trip, whereby preventing proper playback. In some cases, the amplifier and speakers may be damaged.

•If using 1 set of speakers, total speaker impedance must be 4Ω or more.

•If using 2 sets of speakers, total speaker impedance must be 8Ω or more.
