4.CONNECTING AC OUTLET
There is one supplied unswitched AC OUTLET (MAX 300W) which allow the electrical hook up of other unit.
MIXING THE INPUTS
Set the MIC 1, MIC 2, MIC 3, MIC 4, MIC 5, and MIC 6/AUX mixing controls to approximately halfway between MIN and MAX, then adjust MASTER unitl you get an average rading of 0 on the LED meter.
Note:The LED meter indicates the total level of all the input sources being mixed. To decrease or increase the mixing level of any microphone or the auxiliary input source, turn its associated mixing control toward MIN or MAX as desired. To increase the overall volume, adjust the output amplifier's volume control.
USING THE CH 6 MIC/AUX SWITCH
To mix in the audio input source connected to the AUX IN jack, set CH 6 MIC/AUX on the back of the PYM-6 to AUX. To mix in the microphone connected to either of the INPUT 6 microphone jacks, set CH 6 MIC/AUX to MIC.

USING THE FEEDBACK FILTER
After you adjust the mixing controls, test the microphones. If you hear a loud squeal or other noise, turn FEEDBACK FILTER clockwise until you eliminate or reduce the feedback. The FEEDBACK FILTER control decrease feedback by up to 12dB, If you cannot eliminate the feedback with the FEEDBACK FILTER control, try connecting a frequency equalizer to help decrease feedback even more. Follow the instructions included with the frequency equalizer to connect it between the PYM-6 and the amplifier.
