Although these units are a rugged piece of professional audio equipment, they are not indestructible and contain some high specification
modern electronic assemblies; they should be handled with some care - like any other type of instrument. Throwing the unit around or into
a vehicle or dropping down onto hard ground is the kind of abuse that could eventually cause reliability problems.

All units are factory set for 220/230v operation, but can be internally adjusted to suit 110/120v. Units factory made for 110/120V supply are
clearly marked on the back and should not be connected to any higher voltage power source.

SITING THE SPEAKERS

Care must be taken when siting these speakers - not only from the audibility point of view, but for other technical reasons.

DO NOT STAND RIGHT NEXT TO HEATING APPLIANCES OR RADIATORS

DO NOT COVER WITH CLOTH OR SMOTHER BACK POWER MODULE AGAINST CURTAINS ETC.,.

♦IN HOT CLIMATES AVOID STANDING THE UNITS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT IF POSSIBLE♦
FITTING A POWER LEAD & PLUG

The wires in the IEC/CEE mains lead are coloured: Earth: Green/Yellow Neutral: Blue Live: Brown
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminal in your plug proceed as follows: Green/Yellow wire

must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or coloured Green. - Brown wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. - Blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
black.

CONNECTIONS

On the back of the PEMIX power module you will find the following connection sockets:­A. IEC Inlet sockets : To connect the unit to the mains A/C power supply.

B. Mains On/Off rocker switch with green neon indicator.
C. Mains fuse: 3.15A 20mm.
D. Speakon connector : add on 8Ω speaker output from the amplifier module.

MIXER INPUT CONNECTIONS
Low impedance (200 - 600Ω) microphones can be plugged into each of channels 1 & 2 on the mixer panel via a female XLR socket.
Both of these inputs are electronically balanced and the connections are :­pin 1 = Ground / Screen, pin 2 = Hot / signal & pin 3 = Cold / balanced signal.
They can be used unbalanced, make sure the XLR is grounded on pins 1 & 3, with pin 2 as 'Hot' for this configuration.

A Stereo line input is available via 2 phono sockets on channel 3. (Summed into mono)
A mono signal can be fed into the line input socket also.
The signal scorch may come from any suitable line level output,( 0dB / 0.775V) e.g.,
CD player, Sequencer , etc. All input connections must use shielded/screened cables.

DO NOT CONNECT WITH SPEAKER CABLES.

OUTPUT SIGNAL LINK CONNECTION
Connecting a link signal:- Link outputs can be made by using the line output jack socket on the side mixing panel.
PLEASE NOTE THIS OUTPUT IS NOT A SPEAKER CONNECTION - IT IS A LINE LEVEL SIGNAL ONLY 0dB / 0.775V

ADD ON SPEAKER CONNECTION
An additional 8Ω speaker can be connected to this module via the Speakon connector Pin +1 = Speaker + / Pin -1 = Speaker -

POWER CONNECTIONS
Connecting a mains lead:- Fit the female plug of a mains lead into the connection socket on the amplifier and the male plug into a suitable
mains supply socket.

OPERATION

Your PEMIX System is now ready to use. Before switching on, it is advisable to familiarise yourself with the functions of the controls and
the significance of the indicators.

On the mixer stage there is a Volume control for each channel, with a Master Volume for the main output level
The Contour Controls adjust the tonal quality of the sound and work rather like a graphic equaliser ; the centre zero position gives a basic

flat response, Clockwise rotation will boost Bass & Treble ( Like a smile shape on an a graphic EQ) , Anti-clockwise rotation from the zero
point will give the opposite effect and boost the middle frequencies (this is particularly good for speech projection at conferences etc.)

1.

1. Power switch: Isolates unit from the line supply.

2. Green LED : on front of speaker Indicates the power module is running.

3. RED LED : Green LED above turns red when limiting starts.

POWERING UP
You can turn the module on or off either at the mains supply, or by using the rocker switch on the panel. It is recommended that all

volume controls are at zero before switching on to avoid damage to the system from feed back.
Please note: it is good practice to turn down the volume controls on the side of the enclosure as precaution against speaker damage.

Which can be caused by instant high level feedback from an open channel mixer & mic, or system instability etc.

AMPLIFIER MODULE MAINTENANCE

To ensure long term reliability

REGULARLY CLEAN THE FAN GUARD MESH WITH A DRY BRUSH TO REMOVE ANY CAKING.

The amplifier module contains no user serviceable parts inside. Due attention should also be paid to the condition of all signal and mains
interconnection leads and connectors. If required the outside of the unit can be cleaned using household polish with a lint free cloth.
Do not clean using solvents, detergents or abrasives.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Although the greatest care has been taken in the manufacture of this system the possibility remains that problems might occur during use or
difficulties could be experienced during its initial usage.

The cause, however, is rarely found to be the amplifier module. Below is a list of symptoms and possible causes. Some of the suggested
causes may appear obvious but they can be easily overlooked.

Under no circumstances should you open the equipment; this is dangerous, will expose high voltages, and will invalidate all rights under the
guarantee..

1. After turning on the 'power' switch the 'power' indicator does not light­ The mains plug is not pushed far enough into the module or there is no supply at the mains socket. Check supply by using another

appliance.
The mains fuse is broken, located on the rear of the module, replace using 3.15A 20mm fuse.

2. When volume control is turned up no sound is heard - No input signal connected to input socket.

3. Even when the output is low, the output sounds distorted­ Check for a faulty connection of plug or damaged cables or the Input Signal level may be too high and overloading the input stage

4. Output distorted at medium volume setting­ Overloaded input signal - reduce source volume level and turn up module volume or the module is running too hot, ensure free flow

of air, around the unit. (see section a. of Siting the Speaker)
