DESCRIPTIONS

POWER

The PM One is supplied with a switchable power supply. Before plugging your PM One in, please
read this entire section to ensure proper supply voltage selection and unit operation. It is important
that all safety precautions be followed.

1. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

Use this switch to select the proper AC supply voltage for your area. This voltage varies from one
geographical area to another. For voltages between 110 and 120 VAC, select the 115 position.
For voltages between 220 and 230 VAC, select the 230 position.

2. IEC POWER CORD

This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (included), which provides AC power to the unit. Connect
the line cord to this connector and to a properly grounded AC supply. Damage to the equipment
may occur if an improper line voltage is used. (See voltage marking on unit.) Never remove or
cut the ground pin of the line cord plug. This unit is supplied with a properly rated line cord.
When lost or damaged, replace this cord with one of the proper ratings.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire which is colored
green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E or by the earth
symbol or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or the color black. (3) The wire which
is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or color red.

3. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH and LED

The Power On/Off Switch is located on the front of the PM One. (Top panel. See diagram on
page 6.) This switch in the (l) position will turn the unit on if proper voltage is supplied. The power
LED located next to the switch will illuminate when the unit is on. WARNING: PROPER
VOLTAGE MUST BE SELECTED BY THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (1) BEFORE THIS
SWITCH IS TURNED ON. FAILURE TO SELECT THE PROPER VOLTAGE APPLICABLE TO
YOUR POWER SOURCE COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR PM ONE MIXER.

4. FUSE (0.5A/250V)

The fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder (on back panel). If the fuse should fail, IT
MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE
TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY. If the unit repeatedly
blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repairs.

WARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED WHEN THE POWER CORD HAS
BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM ITS POWER SOURCE.

OUTPUTS

The PM One features two different stereo outputs. These outputs are designed for the different
types of inputs found on various external equipment. Pay close attention to ensure you have
selected the right output for your application. Always use quality, shielded cables and verify a good
connection.

5. OUTPUT RECORD

These stereo RCA tape output jacks provide a signal for the recording inputs of a stereo tape deck.
The output signal is a -10 dBu representation of the Output Amp (6) signal.

6. OUTPUT AMP

These stereo RCA output jacks provide a line level signal for the inputs of a stereo power amplifier
and/or its associated equipment. When the Master Mono/Stereo Switch (15) is in the Mono
position, the left and right outputs become two mono outputs with an equal mix of the left and right
signals. When the Equalizer Switch (20) is on, the left and right signals will be equalized by their
respective EQÕs prior to being mixed. Therefore, the stereographic EQ comes before the switch.
This allows you to EQ the left and right channels separately, before they are mixed into a mono
signal.

INPUTS

The PM One has a variety of input combinations on various channels to give you a vast selection.
This will allow you to connect different types of products to the PM One without the extensive, costly

use of adapters. Play close attention to the descriptions and warnings in this section.

7. CHANNEL INPUTS

Channels 1 and 2 feature identical input options, PHONO and LINE. On these two channels you
may select, using the Input Select Switch (14), either PHONO (for phono players) or LINE (for line
level products such as CD, Minidisc, drum machine or DAT). This type of configuration allows you
to connect both types of products to the same channel and conveniently select between them
during a performance. Remember that this combination of inputs, PHONO and LINE, is only
available on Channels 1 and 2.

CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL INPUT SELECT SWITCH FROM THE LINE
POSITION TO THE PHONO POSITION WHILE THE CHANNEL FADER IS TURNED UP ABOVE
Ò3Ó AND MATERIAL IS BEING PLAYED. THESE TWO TYPES OF SIGNALS DIFFER IN LEVEL.
SWAPPING BETWEEN THEM WILL NOT ALWAYS PRODUCE EQUAL OUTPUTS FROM THE
PM ONE. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO BOTH HEARING AND/OR EQUIPMENT.

Channels 3 and 4 are different, however. Channel 3 offers two stereo LINE inputs. No PHONO
inputs are available for Channel 3. You may select between the two LINE inputs using the Input
Selector Switch for Channel 3. Channel 4 has only one stereo input since its Input Selector Switch
is used to select the Mic 2 Input (10).

All output levels from your external equipment should be set to maximum levels without causing
distortion. This can sometimes be more evident by listening to the specific channel in the Cue
through headphones. One important thing to remember is that your objective is to place all
channels at very close input levels. This will make for a smoother, more accurate transition from
one device to another during crossfade and channel select operations.

NOTE: All stereo inputs are RCA connectors with the tip wired positive.
