PM-100

Personal Stage Monitor

Features, Instructions
& Technical Data

• Designed to reduce stage clutter and volume by putting the sound where you can most use it — the compact, rugged, lightweight
PM-100 can be mounted on a mic stand (with built-in mic stand mount), used as an up-close monitor on a keyboard, or as a stage
monitor with 4 different angled positions for optimum placement and versatility.

• Specially designed dual ferro-fluid 5” drivers offer 200W peak power handling capacity, superior gain before feedback and up to
125dB maximum SPL

• Uniquely tuned response projects audio at the desired frequencies to cut through stage noise while ensuring high feedback immunity

• Volume/Impedance selector and two 1/4” IN/OUT jacks for performer adjustability and easy daisy-chaining with up to 15 other
PSM-100 monitors

• Power Handling: 200W Peak (100W RMS)

• Sensitivity: 96dB (1W @ 1M 1KHz)

• MAX SPL: 125dB

• Frequency Response: 125Hz~19KHz

• Weight: 5.1 lbs. (2.3kg)

• Dimensions (HWD): 11.1” x 7” x 5.3” (28 cm x 18 cm x 13.5 cm)

WARNINGS

• Read all instructions before using the product.

• This product may be capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time
at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult
an audiologist.

• To avoid damage to the drivers, never overload the speaker.

• To avoid the risk of fire, do not ever expose the speaker to a source of
naked flames. Also, it should be located away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat vents, or other devices (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

• The product should be positioned so that proper ventilation is
maintained.

• This speaker is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to weather
or high humidity, rain, etc.

• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into, and liquids are not
spilled through, the enclosure’s openings. Do not place containers of
liquids on the speaker.

• The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.
Replace the fuse only with one of the specified type, size, and correct
rating.

• The power supply cord should: (1) be undamaged, (2) never share an
outlet or extension cord with other devices so that the outlet’s or
extension cord’s power rating is exceeded, and (3) never be left
plugged into the outlet when not being used for a long period of time.

• Don’t place any heavy appliance or object on the speaker enclosure.

• This product should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:

A. Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the

product.
B. The product has been exposed to rain.
C. The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits

a marked change in performance.

D. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

• Do not attempt to service this unit. All servicing should be referred to

Total Impedance

Knowing the total impedance of your speakers allows you to properly match your amplifier with your speakers.
Also, many amplifiers are not capable of powering loads less than 4Ω so it is important to ensure that the total
impedance is not too low. Use the following formulas to figure the total impedance of a set of daisy-chained
speakers.

If all speakers have the same impedance use this formula:

Impedance of each speaker / Number of speakers = Total Impedance

For example: To figure the total impedance of five PM-100 monitors, daisy-chained together with each set to
2Ω, the equation would be as follows:

24Ω / 5 Speakers = 4.8Ω Total Impedance

If speakers with different impedances are daisy-chained use this formula:

Z represents the impedance of each speaker.
For example: To figure the total impedance of five PM-100 monitor, daisy-chained together, with impedance
64Ω, 32Ω, 32Ω, 24Ω, and 16Ω do the following:

1

1+ 1 +1+1 +1

Z1 Z2 Z3 Z4 Z5 ...

1

1+ 1 +1+1 +1

64Ω 32Ω 32Ω 24Ω 16Ω ...

= 5.5Ω Total Impedance
