FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS

1.CHANNEL 1-4 XLR / ¼” INPUT - The XLR mic inputs are an electronically balanced XLR type designed to accept mic level signals from any balanced or unbalanced low impedance (Low Z) microphone. The XLR jacks are configured for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3 = negative (-). The 1/4” mono line inputs are designed to accept unbalanced line level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, or samplers.

2.CHANNEL 5/6 STEREO ¼” / RCA INPUTS - The TS ¼” or stereo RCA line level inputs can be used for connecting CD players, Tape Decks, and other audio equipment with line level outputs.

3.CHANNEL 7/8 STEREO RCA INPUTS - The stereo RCA line level inputs can be used for connect ing CD players, Tape Decks,and other audio equipment with line level outputs.

4.REVERB SWITCH - The REVERB switch can be used to add an effect to the mic or line input on any of the inputs 1-4. Once engaged, the green LED next to each REVERB switch will illuminate, indicating the REVERB is ON.

5.TREBLE CONTROL - Turn to the right to boost high frequencies, adding crispness too percussion from drum machines, cymbals and synths. Turn to the left to cut these frequencies, reducing sibi lance or hiss. The control has a shelving response giving +/-10dB of boost or cut at 10kHz.

6.BASS CONTROL - The bass control shelving response gives 10dB of boost or cut at 100Hz. Add warmth to vocals or extra punch to guitars, drums and synths by turning to the right.Turn to the left to reduce stage rumble, hum or to improve a mushy sound.

7.CHANNEL FADER - The channel faders determine the output signal level to the Master Mix bus. They offer a smooth logarithmic taper more often associated with much more expensive console for optimum control of the signal.

8.MASTER FADER - The master fader determines the output signal level of the Master Mix bus. They offer a smooth logarithmic taper more often associated with much more expensive console for optimum control of the signal.

9.REVERB CONTROL KNOB - The REVERB control knob is used to adjust the amount of reverb added to all channels that have the REVERB switch engaged.

10.MONITOR VOLUME KNOB - The monitor volume knob controls the output level of the line and stereo RCA record out. Note that the monitor out (11) is intended to be used with powered speak ers or other devices that require no additional (wattage) power.

11.MONITOR OUT - There are 2 ¼” TS connectors that can be used to connect to powered speakers or any device not requiring additional (wattage) power.

12.REC OUT - The REC OUT stereo RCA outputs can be used to connect to an external recording device and is controlled by the (7) individual channel faders. Note that it is important to monitor and set the input of your recording device prior to recording to ensure no clipping of the signal during the process.

13.SPEAKER OUT - The PSS-300 has two ¼” TS connectors, which are powered outputs used to connect your left and right speakers. Use the included speaker cables to connect the speakers CAUTION: The total impediance load for each side of the amplifier must not be less than 6 Ohms. Do not connect additional speakers to the PSS-300 unless using (9) monitor out section (please read above for more details).

14.POWER / PEAK INDICATOR - The POWER LED will illuminate Green when the main power switch is turned on, and the red light will indicate the amplifier is near the clipping point. If the Peak indicator is consistently light up, turn down the MASTER volume or the individual channel faders until the indicator light does not flash consistently.

15.POWER SWITCH - Use the power switch to turn the PSS-300 on or off.

16.SPEECH / MUSIC SWITCH - The SPEECH/MUSIC switch is used to change the overall tone and frequency response of the PSS-300. If the PSS-300 is used for a music application, engage the switch for music-optimized settings, and disengage the switch for speech-optimized applications.

17.IEC INLET - Connect the supplied heavy gauge 3-pin IEC power cable here.

18.MIXER LOCKS - To release the mixer from the speaker, turn the mixer locks counter-clockwise When transporting the PSS-300, make sure the mixer locks are tightly secured.
