PM62S/PM82S/PM82T Powered Mixers

The Master Section (con’t):

31.LIMITER/LED METER: The mixer employs inter- nal limiter circuits to prevent overdrive distortion from being reproduced by the amplifiers. The Limiter LEDs illuminate when either of the main amplifiers’ internal limiter circuits are activated. The two sets of five-step LED displays directly below the Limiter LEDs indicate the levels of the left and right main’s output signal.

32.DSP SEND LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of signal at the DSP Line Out jack (#40) and to the internal DSP processor.

33.PEAK: This LED illuminates when the DSP signal level nears clipping. During normal operation, this LED will flash on strong signal peaks. If the LED remains illuminated, reduce the DSP Send Level control (#32).

34.HEADPHONES LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal at the (Headphones) jack (#42).

35.EFF RETURN LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the internal DSP applied to the Tape Out jacks (#45), the Main Out Left / Right jacks (#46), and the Speakers - Left / Right jacks (#48, page 9).

36.AUX IN LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal applied to the Main outputs from the Aux In - Left / Right jacks (#43).

37.TAPE IN LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the signal from the Tape In - Left / Right jacks (#44) applied to the Main outputs.

38.MAIN LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the overall level of the signal at the Main Out Left / Right jacks (#46) and the Speakers - Left / Right jacks (#48, page 9).

39.BRIDGE/STEREO: Use this switch to determine whether the main power amplifiers are bridged together for a single output signal (at the up posi- tion) or work separately for a stereo output signal (at the down position).

40.DSP LINE OUT: Use this jack to send an output signal to an external effects device. Connect this jack to the effect’s input jack by means of a shield- ed signal cable.

41.DSP FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect a footswitch to the mixer for remote on/off control of the internal DSP. The footswitch must be a normal- ly open / momentarily closed type (such as the Crate model #FSIU). The wiring for the footswitch is shown at the bottom of this page.

42. (HEADPHONES): Use this jack to connect a pair of stereo headphones to monitor the main out- put signals. The level of the signal is adjusted by the Headphones Level control (#34).

43.AUX IN - LEFT / RIGHT: Use these jacks to con- nect an external effects device’s output signal or to feed another mixer’s signal into the mixer. These jacks are post-input channel, pre-eq and pre-power amp, and the signal levels are adjusted by the Aux In Level control (#36).

44.TAPE IN - LEFT / RIGHT: Use these jacks to con- nect the output signal from a tape deck or CD play- er to the mixer. The signal level is adjusted by the Tape In Level control (#37).

45.TAPE OUT - LEFT / RIGHT: Use these jacks to connect the output of the mixer to a tape recorder. These jacks are pre-eq,pre-master, and their sig- nal level is adjusted by the channel Level controls (#8, #19).

46.MAIN OUT - LEFT / RIGHT: Use these jacks to connect the mixer’s pre-amplified output signal to an external power amplifier, recording console, or to the Aux In jack of another Crate powered mixer.

48.MONITOR OUT: Use this jack to send a pre-ampli- fied signal to an auxiliary monitor amplifier (or pow- ered monitor).

Ideal for practice or smaller gigs, this amplifier incorporates a two-channel design, offering both clean and overdrive options. Musicians can easily switch between channels, making it perfect for transitioning from crisp clean tones to gritty distortion seamlessly. The onboard reverb adds depth to any sound, enabling artists to create a richer audio experience without needing additional pedals.

Moving on to the PM82S, this amplifier ramps up the power with 82 watts of robust performance. It includes an innovative two-way speaker system that enhances sound projection and clarity, suitable for larger venues or rehearsal spaces. The PM82S also features onboard effects such as chorus and delay, allowing musicians to further sculpt their sound with ease. A built-in EQ with separate bass, midrange, and treble controls ensures that players can tailor their tone to their liking, making it a versatile choice for performers.

The PM82T takes versatility to another level, designed not just for guitarists but also for keyboardists and other electronic instruments. With its integrated Bluetooth capability, musicians can stream their music wirelessly, expanding creative possibilities. Like its sibling, the PM82T also boasts an impressive 82-watt output but differentiates itself with a unique multi-channel input, accommodating various instruments and devices simultaneously. This redefined approach provides musicians a one-stop solution for their amplification needs.
