1.0 Introduction
1.1 JBL Commercial CSM-21 and CSM-32 Mixer
The JBL Commercial® CSM-21 and CSM-32 mixers (hereafter referred to as ‘mixer’) were specifically designed to provide signal routing flexibility and multiple audio source control. To facilitate this, JBL has equipped the mixers with a wide array of input and output capabilities.
These features allow you to bring the same audio quality – that many of your patrons are used to hearing at home – into your place of business. The CSM mixers have been designed to make them easier to operate than any other product in their class. In reality, the feature set provided by the CSM mixers puts them in a class all by themselves.
CSM-32 mixers provide 3 stereo source inputs and 2 full range stereo zone outputs (with dedicated subwoofer outputs), and are equipped with functional I/O that provide connections for your microphones, fire alarm system, auxiliary devices, and CSR remote controls. CSM-21 mixers provide 2 stereo source inputs, 1 full range stereo zone output (with dedicated subwoofer output), and are equipped with I/O that provide connections for your microphones, fire alarm system, and CSR remote controls. For further information on the CSM’s connections and controls, please refer to later chapters in this guide.
JBL’s AutoWarmth™ and LevelGuard™ controls give you superb, easy to use equalization and dynamics control. This function allows the signal to be tailored for a wide variety of rooms, taste, and volume requirements.
1.2 Other Mixer Features
The mixers also feature linking capabilities. This is accomplished by connecting standard Cat 5 UTP cables to the mixer’s LINK ports.
The linking of multiple mixers provides additional output zones, allowing you to expand the systems output capabilities. Please note that linking mixers does not increase the number of inputs. SOURCE linking allows multiple mixers to share the same input source, eliminating the need for Y-cables. MAIN linking allows multiple mixers to share MIC input, MUSIC MUTE, and DIRECT INPUT functions. When multiple units are linked, there is no master or slave designation. The functions are simply paralleled so that sources, MIC input, MUSIC MUTE, and DIRECT INPUT can be fed to any of the linked mixers.
JBL offers several optional remote controls: CSR-V, CSR-2SV, and CSR-3SV. These remote controls provide remote source selection and/or volume adjustments from within a zone location.

The USB connector allows you to connect your computer to the mixer for updating the firmware.
To retrieve the firmware version of your mixer, observe the LEDs on the rear panel while the mixer boots. The LED in the SOURCE 1 section represents major. The LED in the SOURCE 2 section represents minor. The LED in the SOURCE 3 section represents build. The LED beside the MIC connector represents revision. Each LED will flash green a number of times for the numeral it stands for. The format is “major.minor[.build[.revision]]”. For example, if the first released version is “v1.0.0.0”, when you switch the mixer on, the LED in the SOURCE 1 section will flash green once, and the remaining LEDs will turn red. The unit is then ready for use.
3. Crossover
This switch activates the crossover feature for the left, right, and subwoofer ZONE outputs. When the crossover switch is “in”, the left and right outputs will allow frequencies above 125Hz to pass and the subwoofer output will allow frequencies below 125 Hz to pass. When the crossover is switch is “out”, the left, right, and subwoofer outputs will pass full-range audio to allow the end-user to utilize the built­in crossover functionality on their speakers, if desired. Use this crossover feature if the bass response of your room is too boomy when you are using inexpensive loudspeaker transformers or in conjunction with the subwoofer crossover (see subwoofer crossover section).
4. Zone Output(s)
The mixer ZONE outputs utilize balanced Euroblock connectors. These outputs carry the Left, Right, and Subwoofer signals. Connect these outputs to your power amplifier(s).
5. AutoWarmth™ Indicator and Trim Pot
These indicators flash green when the AutoWarmth function is triggered. This trim pot adjusts the point at which the signal level must drop to before AutoWarmth™ will kick in (referred to as threshold).
8
6. Zone Remote Jacks
These inputs are for the optional remote controls: CSR-V, CSR-2SV, and CSR-3SV.
7. Isolated Auxiliary Output*
This output sends a transformer isolated mono signal for a music-on-hold system, or for a separate mono auxiliary zone (please note that paging and emergency announcements will not be sent to this zone). The +/- outputs are 600 Ohm transformer isolated so that they can interface to another system (telephone or remote amplifier) without having undesirable ground interaction. The level control adjusts the output level to match a variety of applications.
NOTE: THE P11 JUMPER IS LOCATED ON THE MIXER’S PCB. FROM THE FACTORY, THIS JUMPER IS SET SO THAT THE SOURCE FEEDING THE AUXILIARY OUTPUT IS SELECTED BY THE ZONE 1 SOURCE SELECTOR. IN OTHER WORDS, WHATEVER SOURCE IS
P11
SELECTED BY ZONE 1 IS WHAT COMES OUT OF THE AUXILIARY OUTPUT. THIS CAN BE CHANGED TO ALWAYS BE SOURCE 3 BY REMOVING THE INTERNAL JUMPER CAP.
8. Page Assign
This connection allows you to assign pages between output zones (referred to as page steering). This can be accomplished with a simple remote selector switch or can be hard wired if pages are to the same zone every time. Connecting a zone pin (Z1, Z2, or both) to the “G” pin, assigns the page to that zone.
9. Source Inputs
Connect your RCA equipped source signals here.
10. Link Jacks
These inputs allow you to network multiple CSM mixers together. The units are connected by standard Cat 5 UTP cables. For proper operation, the length of the linking cable cannot exceed 2.4 meters.
11. Music Mute
This can be wired to a switch that mutes the background music when pin 2 is connected to pin 1 (ground).
NOTE 1: MUSIC MUTE DOES NOT MUTE THE PAGING MIC AND DIRECT INPUT. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE SYSTEM USER MAY NEED TO USE THE PAGING MIC FOR EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS.
NOTE 2: WHEN THE CSM-21 AND CSM-32 MIXERS ARE LINKED TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL OUTPUT ZONE, MUSIC MUTE WILL BE APPLIED TO OTHER CSM-21 AND CSM-32 MIXERS THROUGH THE LINK CONNECTION.
12. Direct Input
The Direct Input signal is buffered and sent directly to the outputs. This is useful for alarms, emergency pages, or for another priority level of paging. The gain control adjusts the volume of the Direct Input to the Zones.
NOTE: THE DIRECT INPUT REQUIRES A LINE-LEVEL SIGNAL, A MICROPHONE PRE-AMP IS NEEDED TO BOOST A MIC LEVEL SIGNAL BEFORE IT CAN BE RUN INTO THE DIRECT INPUT.
Items with * are the controls only found on the CSM-32 mixer.
9
13. Priority Hold
Priority Hold smoothly adjusts the time it takes for the normal, or ducked, input source to become audible again after the priority source ceases. This allows for compatibility with the many different types of priority sources that exist in business environments.
14. Microphone Input
Connect the paging microphone here.
NOTE 1: LINE LEVEL PAGING OUTPUTS FROM TELEPHONE SYSTEMS MUST BE EXTERNALLY TRANSFORMER ISOLATED AND REDUCED IN VOLUME – DOWN TO MICROPHONE LEVEL – BEFORE CONNECTING THEM TO THIS INPUT.
NOTE 2: MICROPHONE AUDIO WILL NOT BE ROUTED TO OUTPUT ZONES UNLESS PAGE ASSIGN CONTACTS ARE ACTIVE.
15. Phantom Power
This switch allows +48 V phantom power – for condenser microphones – to be turned on and off.

1. Source Selector
The SELECT knob selects which source is fed to each zone, or selects the REMOTE option – when using a remote control for source selection. To activate remote source selection control, this control must be set to the REMOTE position.
2. Source Level Knob
This LEVEL knob increases or decreases the output level of the background music. The range of this knob is: -inf, -48 to +15dB of DSP gain.
3. Microphone Level Knob
13
13
This MIC level knob increases or decreases the level of the paging mic. The range of the knob is: -inf,
-30 to 0dB.
NOTE
: THE RANGE OF THE MIC LEVEL KNOB IS DETERMINED BY THE MIC MINIMUM SETTING.
WHEN THE MIC MINIMUM TRIM POT IS SET TO THE FULL CLOCK-WISE POSITION, THE RANGE OF THE MIC LEVEL KNOB IS LIMITED TO -10 TO 0 dB.
4. Bass Zone EQ
The Bass trim pot applies cut or boost to the zone’s low frequencies.
5. Treble Zone EQ
The Treble trim pot applies cut or boost to the zone’s high frequencies.
6. Stereo/Mono Switch
This switch sums the stereo image to mono. This is helpful for accommodating mono input sources, or for feeding stereo input sources into a mono sound system.
11
7. Bass Mic EQ
The Bass trim pot applies cut or boost, by up to +/-6 dB, to the Microphone’s low frequencies.
8. Treble Mic EQ
The Treble trim pot applies cut or boost, by up to +/-6 dB, to the Microphone’s high frequencies.
9. LevelGuard™ Threshold
This LED flashes amber when the LevelGuard™ function has been triggered. This threshold pot adjusts the point at which LevelGuard™ will kick in.
10. Mic Minimum Volume Trim Pot
Sets the desired minimum paging microphone level, enabling the microphone’s lowest preferred level to be set. This ensures that the main mic level control cannot be accidentally set too low, thereby preventing a page from being heard from a zone.
11. Source Priority Switch
Selects whether or not Sources 2 and 3 are overridden by the Source 1 input.
12. Ducking
Ducking automatically decreases the level of the background music when a page takes place. Set the Sensitivity control so that the ducking occurs reliably whenever a mic page occurs. Set the depth control to suit the application. Typical ducking would be with the control straight up, letting through some of the background music during a page. You can set the depth for full, minimal, or no ducking of the music, as required.
13. Power Switch
Turns the CSM mixer on/off.

5.0 Knowing Your Mixer
5.1 Source
What is a Source? This is a line-level input signal such as programmed music, CD player, VCR/DVD, satellite feed, tape player, radio, message repeater, or juke box. These sources are then equalized, dynamically controlled, and routed by your selections and priorities on the mixer.
5.2 Zones
What is a zone? This is the area where you wish the signal to be heard. The mixer outputs a stereo or mono signal to your chosen zone. A built-in crossover and subwoofer output allows you to include a subwoofer in each zone, if desired. This allows you to attain the wide bandwidth sound your patrons are used to hearing.
5.3 Volume
What is a good volume? Determining a good volume is a balance of art and science. You need maximum coverage without interfering with the workplace environment or customer comfort and communication.
The mixer gives you the tools you need in the form of AutoWarmth™ and LevelGuard™ to get the best sound quality from the volume that each application requires. Once you have set your volume preferences, AutoWarmth™ and LevelGuard™ help you keep it that way.
5.4 AutoWarmth™
What is AutoWarmth™? In its simplest terms JBL’s AutoWarmth™ can be thought of as being similar to the “loudness” control on a home stereo, except its actual functions are considerably more complex. AutoWarmth™ operates on a variable basis, automatically making the proper adjustments to maintain an even tonal perception. This function constantly adjusts for the ear’s tendency to hear less low frequencies at low volumes, and more low frequencies at high volumes. AutoWarmth™ automatically ensures full music fidelity at all volumes.
5.5 LevelGuard™
What is LevelGuard™? The LevelGuard™ feature helps keep the volumes of various sources consistent by sensing the level of the incoming audio source and automatically processing the signal to a user selected preference.
13
6.0 Setup
6.1 Determining Source Priorities
Determining the hierarchy of your sources is easier than it sounds. Generally, it follows this order:
1. Emergency/Alarm (Direct Input with MUSIC MUTE engaged)
2. Pages (Paging Mic)
3. Prerecorded announcements (or another source into SOURCE 1 with Priority engaged).
4. Background music (SOURCE 2 and SOURCE 3)
In this example, your alarms would connect to the Direct Input, your page microphone connects to the MIC Input, prerecorded announcements connect to SOURCE 1, and background music connects to SOURCE 2 and 3.
NOTE: MUSIC MUTE DOES NOT MUTE THE PAGING MIC. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT IS USUALLY BEST TO KEEP ALL MICROPHONES ACTIVE FOR EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS.
6.2 Connecting Sources
Connecting your sources is also very simple. Just connect the left and right outputs of your source to the left and right input of the mixer.
6.3 Adjusting Source Gain
Check the input level LEDs, they should light green for continuous signal. Red will flash if the input is too strong. Occasional flashes into the red are not harmful if no distortion is apparent.
6.4 Using EQ
The best determination for needed equalization is to trust your ears. Does the output sound boomy? Reduce the bass setting or engage the high pass filter, this will reduce the bass frequencies. Does it sound dark or muffled? Turn up the treble. Or if it sounds thin or harsh, decrease the treble. Just like the tone controls on a car or home stereo.
14
6.5 Using the Subwoofer Crossover
When the XOVR switch is engaged, the main speakers are high-passed at 125 Hz and the subwoofer outputs are low-passed at 125 Hz (both using a Butterworth 24 dB per octave filter), forming a full subwoofer crossover. When the XOVR switch is NOT engaged, the main speaker outputs and the subwoofer outputs will all pass a full-range signal.
6.6 Setting Up AutoWarmth™ Method 1
To set up AutoWarmth™, begin by turning the AutoWarmth™ trim pot to the twelve o’clock position. Use this as your “baseline” setting. Now turn up the source volume (located on the front panel) to a typical operating level for that zone. Check the AutoWarmth™ indicator LED, on quieter passages the indicator should flash green. If it does not, start turning the trim pot clockwise until it does. If the indicator is constantly on, turn the trim pot counter-clockwise until it flashes only occasionally.
Then adjust the bass and treble tone controls for that zone. To check the adjustments, turn the volume down to as low as its ever going to be used in that zone and make sure the tone sounds full enough. If not, then turn the AutoWarmth™ trimmer further clockwise to increase its effect. Go back and forth between typical level, low level, and high level. Adjust AutoWarmth™ for the best overall sound at all the compared levels.
6.7 Setting Up AutoWarmth™ Method 2
An alternate method is to turn the AutoWarmth™ trimmer full counter-clockwise. Turn the Source volume (located on the front panel) to the highest volume at which that zone will be operated. Adjust the AutoWarmth™ trimmer clockwise until the green LED just starts to light on musical peaks. Then turn the AutoWarmth™ trimmer back counter-clockwise until it does not light at all. Next turn the zone’s level down to normal operating level and adjust the bass and treble controls for that zone, the AutoWarmth LED will light.
With either of these setup methods, AutoWarmth™ should shut off when operating at higher volumes and be lit at both normal and lower volumes.
15
6.8 Setting Up LevelGuard™
To set up LevelGuard™, begin by turning the LevelGuard™ trim pot to twelve o’ clock. Use this as your “baseline” setting. Now turn up the Source volume to the level desired for a particular zone. Check the LevelGuard™ indicator LED, on quieter passages the indicator should be off. On peak volumes the indicator should flash amber. If the indicator is constantly on, turn the trim pot clockwise until it flashes only occasionally. It is useful to set LevelGuard™ so that the LED stays unlit during very low music volume use, flashes on and off during normal volume use, and then lights continuously as the volume increases. For best sound quality, use a combination of LED visual cues and adjustments by ear.
6.9 Security Cover
Once system calibration is complete, affix the security panel over the front panel controls to prevent tampering.
