Thank you for y our purchase of the PM350b P e rsonal Monitor Mixer Plus . This unit mixes a microphone signal with a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Slee ve stereo or mono instrument level signal and a 1/4" TRS stereo or mono monitor signal. The Mic Input and Thru jacks have a s witchab le g round lift, as do the 1/4" TRS Instrument Outputs. The instrument input connects to two independent 1/4" TRS balanced outputs via electronic balancing circuits .
Max Input Level: -20 dB XLR, +40 dB Line, +15 dB Instrument Inst. Input Impedance: 50K ohms Inst. Output Freq. Response: 10 - 30 kHz +/- 3 dB Output Impedance, Hdphn: 10 ohms Output Impedance, Inst.: 2 ea; 100 ohms balanced Gain: 20 dB 1/4", 50 dB XLR Hdphn Freq. Response: 20 - 20 kHz S/N Ratio: 90 dB
The PM350b is designed for perf ormers who want to monitor their own sounds, such as their vocals and instruments, with the main mix via

It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on this Personal Monitor unit, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear . Follow these guidelines in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:
1. Turn up the volume only to the point where hearing is comfortable.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the levels are too high. Lower the volume level.
3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience

wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiologist has exam­ined your ears.
4. W ipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.

DESCRIPTION
LINE INPUT: 1/4" TRS stereo jack for connection to a line level source such as a mixer monitor/auxiliary output, cassette player output, CD player output etc. ground lift: Header jumper for disconnecting chassis ground from pin 1 of the Mic Input and Mic Thru. MIC THRU: XLR jack paralleled (hard-wired) to the MIC INPUT jack for pass-through to a mixer or other microphone level input device. MIC INPUT: XLR balanced jack for connection to a condenser or dynamic micro­phone. INSTRUMENT INPUT: 1/4" TRS stereo jack for connection to an instrument or line level signal such as a guitar processor, keyboard, or instrument preamp output. MONO/STEREO JUMPER: Selects whether the INST. INPUT jack is mono or stereo. LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUTs: Electronically balanced 1/4" TRS outputs of the Instrument Input. ground lift: Header jumper for disconnecting chassis ground from the 1/4" TRS instrument output jacks. MONO/STEREO JUMPER (Located below the LINE INPUT): Selects whether the LINE INPUT jack is mono or stereo.
may be used to "phantom power" the PM350. See the OPERATION section for details.
DC IN 12 VDC: For connection to the external Rolls PS27 power adapter. HEADPHONE OUTPUTS:1/4" Stereo jack, and 1/8" stereo jack for connection to stereo headphones or earphones. LINE LEVEL: Adjusts the level of signal from the LINE INPUT to the headphone mix. MIC LEVEL: Adjusts the level of signal from the MIC INPUT to the headphone mix. INST. LEVEL: Adjusts the level of signal from the INST. INPUT to the headphone mix.

CONNECTION
OPERATION
The diagram below shows an e xample of ho w to connect the PM350b f or proper operation.
Make sure the Rolls PS27 12VDC power supply is connected to an active AC outlet, and all audio connections are in place.
• The LINE INPUT connects to either a 1/4" stereo or mono plug. If this plug is Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo and y ou're sending a stereo signal to this jac k, select the STEREO setting of the Mono/Stereo jumper. If the plug is Tip-Sleev e mono, select the MONO setting of the Mono/Stereo jumper . The MONO setting is also the proper selection if you are phantom powering the PM350b.
• Setting the Mono/Stereo jumpers; If the input to the LINE INPUT or INSTRUMENT INPUT is a Tip-Ring-Slee v e stereo signal, set the Mono/Stereo jumper for stereo operation as shown

here.
• The MIC INPUT connects to either a dynamic or condenser microphone via a standard XLR cable. If you are using a condenser type mic, you will need to power it via phantom power from the mix er which connects to the MIC THRU jack. This jack will pass the phantom power from a mixer on to the micro­phone.
• Connect the MIC THRU jack to the mixer or snake as necessary.
• The INSTRUMENT INPUT connects to a guitar preamp output, keyboard, or any stereo or mono instrument level signal. Again, selecte stereo or mono.
If the signal to the LINE INPUT or INSTRUMENT INPUT is Tip-Slee v e mono, move the jumper to connect the "mono" pins. NOTE: If the LINE INPUT mono/stereo jumper is missing, only one side of the headphones/earphones will work.

OUTPUTS
• The INSTRUMENT OUTPUTs are electronically isolated and converts the high impedance INSTRUMENT INPUT signal to low impedance so it can be sent down a balanced line. These signals may then be plugged into an XLR input on a mixer or snake b y using a 1/4" TRS to XLR cable. Note that the level of this signal may be too high for a mixer's microphone input - you may
experience distortion. In this event, turn down the instrument
• Phantom Pow ering the PM350b A very useful feature of the PM350b is the ability to send the 12VDC power to the unit via the LINE INPUT ring connection. Mak e sure the Mono/Stereo jumper is in the MONO position. Connect the 12VDC to the Ring of the TRS plug as shown here.

GROUND LIFT
The Mic Input and Mic Thru hav e a g round lift jumper provided to lift the XLR pin 1 from chassis ground. The 1/4" TRS Instrument Outputs also have this feature. If you experience a "hum" on the microphone or instrument outputs, lifting the ground may elliminate the problem. To lift the ground, use a pair of

needle-nose pliers and carefully remove the header jumper . Replace the jumper on the two pins labled "lift".
