Once the basic set up is complete, use the P4M Personal Monitor Mixer to create a custom mix:

1.Mix the signal from each audio input using the corresponding CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knobs: OUTER RING: Use this to pan the signal to the left or right channel of the stereo mix. INNER KNOB: Use this to control the level of the audio input.

2.Observe the signal/clip LEDs next to each CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knob.

NOTE: Decrease the level of an input if the corresponding signal/clip LED is consistently red. If the level is decreased all the way and the LED remains red, the level of the input from the previous device in the audio chain is too high and should be decreased.

3.Up to two additional line-level audio sources (such as other mixers, a click track or a digital sequencer) may be added via the AUX IN inputs. These signals go directly to the MIX OUT outputs and are not affected by the CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knobs.

4.To pass an unaltered signal through the P4M, use the corresponding SPLIT OUTPUT.

NOTE: Although the P4M does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUTPUTS can pass phantom power from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack.

CAUTION!: Use a “direct box” when connecting guitars, keyboards, and other instruments to a mixing console through the P4M Mixer. The phantom power that mixing consoles provide for microphones can damage other instruments. Connect the instrument to the direct box then connect the direct box to the P4M Mixer input.

APPLICATIONS

The flexible design of the P4M Mixer allows it to be used in many different applications. The following examples introduce principles which will allow you to develop personalized setups for your specific application.
