Quick Start

Basic Wiring

1. Temporarily set the AUX INPUT TRIM controls on the rear panel to their full counterclockwise position. Trims will be adjusted later.

2. Be sure that the voltage select switch is set correctly. Connect the power cord to the AC LINE INPUT

3.Connect outputs.

For the PM-3000, connect the correct style output (balanced or unbalanced)

to the input of the external amp or other signal processing equipment. Refer to page 15 for wiring balanced or unbalanced outputs.

For the PM-3180, connect loads between COM and the desired output tap (8Ω, 25V or 70V). If connecting a 4-ohm load, refer to the Wiring Information section on page 16 for information on the 4link.

4. Connect unbalanced music input sources. The lines from the sources to the amplifier should be terminated with RCA-type plugs.

5. Connect balanced, low-impedance microphones. For the 3-pin Mic A connector, pin 1 is ground (shield).
