ATTENTION — Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le
réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des
communications du Canada.
21.
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing
loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially danger
ous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn
when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing
loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

Read This Page!
We realize that you must be really keen
to try out your new powered mixer. Please
read the safety instructions on page 2
and this page, and the rest can wait until
you’re ready. But please read it — you’ll be glad you did.
Setup
Don’t use guitar cords for speaker cables!
Owner’s Manual
They’re not designed to handle speaker-level
signals and could overheat.
Set the levels
It’s not even necessary to hear what you’re doing to
set optimal levels. But if you’d like to: Plug headphones
into the phones output jack, then turn up the phones
knob just a little.
Make sure there is at least 6 inches of airspace behind
the powered mixer for ventilation. There are two fans
inside to cool the power amplifier section. Use the powered mixer in a nice clean environment, free from dryer
lint and dust bunnies.
Zero the controls
1. Fully turn down all the faders and controls,
except for the channel EQ, graphic EQ faders,
and pan controls, which should be centered.
2. Make sure all buttons are in the out position.
Connections
1. Make sure the AC power switch is off before
making any connections.
2. Push the linecord securely into the IEC connec
tor on the rear panel, and plug it into a 3-prong
AC outlet that is properly configured for the
voltage of your powered mixer.
3. Plug a balanced microphone into one of the mic
XLR (3-pin) connectors. Or connect any linelevel signal (keyboard, or guitar preamp) to a
line input jack using a TS or a TRS 1/4” plug.
4. If your microphone requires phantom power,
press in the 48V phantom power button.
5. You can connect a guitar directly to line inputs
7 or 8 without need for a DI box. Press the hi-z
switch on these channels if you do.
6. The insert jacks can be used to connect an
external effects or dynamics processor into the
signal chain. See page 13 for more details.
7. Plug the speakers (4 ohms or greater) into the
speaker output jacks on the rear panel. If you
plug two speakers into a side, each speaker
must be 8 ohms or greater to maintain a 4-ohm
minimum load on the amplifier. Use at least
18 gauge speaker cable with 1/4” TS plugs. For
now, set the power amp mode switch to stereo
mains.

hookup diagrams. These show typical setups for fun
times with your powered mixer.
Next is a detailed tour of the entire mixer. The de
scriptions are divided into sections, just as your mixer is
organized into distinct zones:
• Rear Panel
• Connection Section
• Channel Controls
• Master Controls
• Stereo Effects Processors
Throughout these sections you’ll find illustrations
with each feature numbered and described in nearby
paragraphs.
This icon marks information that is critically
important or unique to the mixer. For your own
good, read them and remember them.
This icon will lead you to some explanations of
-
Appendix A: Service information.
Appendix B: Connectors.
Appendix C: Technical information.
Appendix D: Table of Presets
The thickness of the manual makes it ideal for covering your head, especially when a 15-mile wide meteorite
bursts through the earth's atmosphere, heading straight
for your camp site at Lucky-Duck Lake, WA.
features and practical tips. Go ahead and skip
these if you need to leave the room in a hurry.

This diagram shows microphones attached to channels 1 and 2, electric guitars connected directly to
channels 7 and 8 (with hi-z switch pressed in), and a keyboard attached to channels 9/10. A portable
recorder is attached to the stereo tape outputs to record the performance.
Mackie SRM450v2 powered monitors are connected to the monitor 1 send, and play as stage monitors. The mon 1 knobs of each channel allow you to set up a stage monitor mix that is independent of the
main mix.
Passive speakers are connected to the speaker-level power output of the powered mixer, and they play
the main stereo mix to your audience. SWA1801z powered subwoofers are connected to the main mix
mono out, to reinforce the low end in your system. For powered subwoofers like these with their own
internal crossover, leave the mixer's LPF (low-pass-filter) switch out.

and Mic
This diagram shows microphones attached to the mic inputs of channels 1 to 4, an electric guitar connected directly to channel 7 (with hi-z switch pressed in), an acoustic guitar microphone connected to
channel 8 mic in, a keyboard attached to channels 9/10, and a drum machine to channels 11/12.
A Mackie SRM150 powered monitor is connected to the monitor 2 send, and acts as a personal stage
monitor to your talented, yet still surprisingly-humble keyboard player. The mon 2 knobs of each channel
allow you to set up a monitor mix that is independent of the main mix.
The power amp mode switch is set to play the mono main mix on ch. A, and monitor 1 mix on ch. B.
Passive speakers are connected to channel A speaker-level power output, and they play the main mono
mix to your audience. C300z passive stage monitors are connected to channel B speaker-level power
output, and they play the stage monitor mix 1 to your performers.
Passive subwoofers are powered by an amplifier connected to the main mix mono out, to reinforce the
low end in your main mix. Press the LPF (low-pass-filter) switch in, and adjust the LPF frequency control to
suit your subwoofers. The external amplifier will then only receive the low frequency range.

This diagram shows microphones connected to the mic inputs of channels 1 and 2, a wireless microphone receiver connected to the mic input of channel 4, and a graphic EQ connected to channel 4's
insert jack (to help control any feedback in the wireless mic). An iPod docking station is attached to channels 11/12, using RCA to 1/4" TS adaptors.
Two turntables are connected to a Mackie d.2 Pro DJ mixer, and its output connect to channel 9/10
stereo line inputs. Use the d.2 Pro's advanced DJ controls to get the best performance from your records.
Use the powered mixer to play the d.2 Pro output, and control the mics and iPod.
The power amp mode switch is set to play the stereo main mix in the passive speakers, connected to the
speaker-level power outputs.
Mackie HD1521 powered speakers and powered subwoofers are connected to the line-level main mix
outputs, and also play the stereo main mix to your audience.

1. POWER CONNECTION
This jack accepts the supplied 3-prong IEC AC power
cord.
Before you plug the AC power cord into the
powered mixer, make sure that the voltage of
your unit is the same voltage as your local AC
mains supply. Use only the power cord supplied. Also,
disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is dangerous. Please
don’t do it. And no running with scissors either. Let's be
safe out there!
2. POWER SWITCH

per channel into 4 ohms, and 800 watts peak.
Two common types of connector are provided for your
convenience: Speakons and 1/4" TS.
• Speakon outputs are wired Pin 1+ positive
(hot) and Pin 1– negative (cold).
Mono Speakon Connection
Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on
the mixer. The front panel power LED [42] will glow
with happiness, or at least it will if you have the mixer
plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply.
Press the bottom of this switch to turn off the mixer,
whenever you feel that this would be a safe thing to do.
Half-way through a heavy metal guitar solo might not be
such a good time.
As a general guide, you should turn on your
powered mixer first, before any external power
amplifiers or powered speakers, and turn it off
last. This will reduce the possibilities of any
turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers.
3. SPEAKER-LEVEL OUTPUTS
These output connections provide speaker-level
output power from the internal power amplifiers to your
passive speakers. The outputs can be selected with the
amp mode switch [53] to be either the stereo main mix,
mono main mix/monitor 1, or monitor 1/monitor 2.
The power output of the PPM1012 is 500 watts rms
• 1/4" TS outputs are wired Tip positive, and
Sleeve negative.
1/4" TS Connection
These two types of outputs are wired in parallel, and
it is possible to use both types at once.
The minimum impedance that the powered
mixer can handle is 4 ohms per channel, and
we recommend that you do not go below this.
If you are using both outputs per channel, make sure
each loudspeaker is 8 ohms impedance or greater.
4. VENTILATION
These holes in the rear panel allow the internal fans to flow breezy and minty-fresh cooling
obstruct these holes, or the amplifiers may overheat and
shut down. Do not remove the feet, as these help keep
the powered mixer off the ground for ventilation.

Connection Section
This is where you plug in things such as: microphones,
line-level instruments, guitars, and effects, a recorder,
PA system, powered monitors, powered subwoofer etc.
(The speaker-level outputs from the internal power
amplifiers are on the rear panel.) Check out the hookup
diagrams for some connection ideas. See Appendix B
(page 29) for further details and some rather lovely
drawings of the connectors you can use with your mixer.
5. MIC INPUTS
We use phantom-powered, balanced microphone
inputs just like the big studio mega-consoles, for exactly
the same reason: This kind of circuit is excellent at
rejecting hum and noise. You can plug in almost any
kind of mic that has a standard XLR-type male mic con
nector.

15
12 12

Never plug single-ended (unbalanced) microphones, or ribbon mics into the mic input
jacks if phantom power is on. Do not plug
instrument outputs into the mic XLR input jacks with
phantom power on, unless you know for certain it is safe
to do so.
6. MONO LINE INPUTS (Ch. 1 to 6)
These 1/4" jacks share circuitry (but not phantom
power) with the mic preamps, and can be driven by balanced or unbalanced sources.
To connect balanced lines to these inputs, use a 1⁄4"
Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug.
-
To connect unbalanced lines to these inputs, use a
1⁄4" mono (TS) phone plug or instrument cable.

Professional ribbon, dynamic, and condenser mics all
sound excellent through these inputs. The mic inputs
will handle any kind of mic level you can toss at them,
without overloading.
Microphone-level signals are passed through the
mixer's splendid microphone preamplifiers to become
line-level signals.
Channels 1 to 6 have the extra benefit of dedicated
in-line compressors [25]. These can be adjusted to add
just the right amount of compression to your vocals and
help prevent distortion and overloading.
PHANTOM POWER
Most modern professional condenser mics require
48V phantom power, which lets the mixer send low-current DC voltage to the mic’s electronics through the
same wires that carry audio. (Semi-pro condenser mics
often have batteries to accomplish the same thing.)
“Phantom” owes its name to an ability to be “unseen”
by dynamic mics (Shure SM57/SM58, for instance),
which don’t need external power and aren’t affected by
it anyway.
7. LINE/INSTRUMENT INPUTS (Ch. 7 and 8)
The line-level inputs for channels 7 and 8 can also
accept instrument-level signals if the hi-z switches
[26] are pressed in. This allows you to connect guitars
directly to channels 7 and 8, without the need for a DI
box. The input impedance is optimized for direct connection, and high-frequency fidelity is assured.
8. STEREO LINE INPUTS (Ch. 9/10 and 11/12)
These channels have stereo line inputs. If you just
have a mono source, plug it into the left input channel
9 or 11 (labeled left/mono), and the signal will appear
(as if by magic) equally on the left and right of the main
mix.
The mixer's phantom power is globally controlled by
the phantom [43] switch. (The phantom power for all
channels is turned on and off together.)
