Warning: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
Power Sources
Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the
owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use
with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated. An
apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a Mains socket outlet with
a protective earthing ground. Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Hazards
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The
product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product.
Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the
product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Only use
attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
Note: Prolonged use of headphones at a high volume may cause
health damage on your ears.
The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects
filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.
Terminals marked with the “lightning bolt” are hazardous live; the external wiring
connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of
ready made leads or cords.
Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not install near
any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
Power Cord
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet. The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be
damaged. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs. If
the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT. To completely disconnect
this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC
receptacle. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Service
The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

connection extérieure doivent être effectivés par un opérateur formé ou en utilisant
des cordons déjà préparés.
Cordon d’Alimentation
Ne pas enlever le dispositif de sécurité sur la prise polarisée ou la prise avec tige de
mise à la masse du cordon d’alimentation. Une prise polarisée dispose de deux lames
dont une plus large que l’autre. Une prise avec tige de mise à la masse dispose de
deux lames en plus d’une troisième tige qui connecte à la masse. La lame plus large ou
la tige de mise à la masse est prévu pour votre sécurité. La prise murale est désuète si
elle n’est pas conçue pour accepter ce type de prise avec dispositif de sécurité. Dans
ce cas, contactez un électricien pour faire remplacer la prise murale. Évitez
d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation. Protégez le cordon d’alimentation. Assurezvous qu’on ne marche pas dessus et qu’on ne le pince pas en particulier aux prises.
N’UTILISEZ PAS L’APPAREIL si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé. Pour
débrancher complètement cet appareil de l’alimentation CA principale, déconnectez le
cordon d’alimentation de la prise d’alimentation murale. Le cordon d’alimentation du
bloc d’alimentation de l’appareil doit demeurer pleinement fonctionnel.
Débranchez cet appareil durant les orages ou si inutilisé pendant de longues périodes.

Stereo Power Amplifier
The PM2012 features high-efficiency stereo power amplifiers which have been designed
to deliver maximum power into a 4-ohm load. When lower speaker impedances are connected, a dedicated, sonically transparent circuit limits the output power to safe levels.
Multiple speakers may be connected without the amplifier overheating or shutting down.

Input Channels 1-8
1. Bal Line Input
The Bal Line input ¼-inch TRS (stereo) jack for
connecting line-level sources, e.g. instrument
amp line outputs. Balanced or unbalanced sources may be connected using balanced or unbalanced shielded cable.
Note: Channels 7 and 8 have
unbalanced instrument-level
¼-inch inputs rather than line-level
so that guitars and basses can be
connected directly to the board.
2. Mic Input
The Mic input is a standard low-impedance XLR
mic-level input.
3. Insert Jack
Use a Y-insert cable (e.g. the Apex A203SPY or
A210SXY) to connect sound processing – EQ,
compressor, etc - directly to an input channel.
Tip =Send, Ring=Return.
4. Gain Control
To aid in matching input signal levels, adjust the
Gain level while using a signal that represents the
loudest signal that will be used; set the Gain just
before the Limit LED begins to illuminate. This will
optimize the channel’s gain for a given source’s
output voltage. During a sound check, depress the
channel Solo Switch and using the Gain control, set the PFL level to O (zero dB) on the VU
Meter display. The channel’s Limit LED can also be useful as a Gain indicator.
5. HPF Button
High-pass filter, press to roll off the bass under 80Hz on vocal, guitar, etc. channels in
order to minimize microphone handling noise and unwanted low-frequency sound spillover.
6. Equalization
The Low and High EQ controls are +/-15dB shelving at 80 & 12 kHz respectively. Mid =
–25 dB to +12 dB with Sweep from 80 Hz to 8 kHz.
7. Mon 1 and Mon 2 Controls
The monitor signals are post-EQ, pre-fade and send signal to their respective Mon Send
masters and Monitor Out jacks.
8. EFX Control
The EFX Sends are post-EQ and post-fader. The channel's signal is routed through the
EFX Send control to the Internal Effects unit and the External Effects Send jack.
9. Aux Control
The Aux path sends post-EQ, post-fader signal to the Aux Send master and Aux Send jack.

Send masters. Unbalanced cables can be used.
33. Returns
The ¼-inch L&R pairs of inputs (bal/unbal) are controlled by their respective EFX and Aux Rtn channels.
34. Power AMP IN Jacks
The Power AMP A IN and Power AMP B IN jacks are direct
inputs to the built-in power amplifiers. They are referred to
as A and B rather than left and right simply because it is
possible to power both main PA speakers with one amplifier
channel and monitors with the other. This can be accomplished by selecting the Main/Mon position on the selector
switch located above the Main and Monitor faders In the
Left/Right position, Power AMP A receives the left signal
while Power AMP B receives the right signal. In the Main/
Mon position, Power AMP A receives a mono sum of left and right signals while Power AMP B
receives the monitor signal. An alternative use for the Power AMP A IN and Power AMP B IN
jacks would be as patching inputs. Since they’re switching jacks if you plug into one (or both)
the internal signal flow will be interrupted. This interrupts the signal from the PM2012 mixer
to the built-in power amplifiers allowing you to insert signal control devices such as an élite

35. L&R Inserts
The L&R Insert ¼-inch TRS (stereo) jacks each acting as a send and a return (Tip=send,
Ring=return) to permit patching EQ, compressor/limiter, etc. directly into the main mix
outputs using ‘Y’ insert cables such as the Apex A210SPY or A210SXY.
36. Media In
The Media In L&R RCA jacks go to the Media In master, which feeds the main buss
(post Master) and can be used to connect the output of a second mixer or program
source. Use balanced or unbalanced cables.
37. Media Out
The Media Out L&R RCA jacks are controlled by the Media Out master control. This is
the main mix and can be connected to the input of another mixer or recording medium
using balanced or unbalanced cables.
38. Mono Out
The Mono Out provides a main mix output regulated by the Mono Out Master con-
trol which is ideally suited for connecting a subwoofer amplifier. Use a balanced or
unbalanced cable.
39. Monitor Out
The Mon 1 & Mon 2 ¼-inch outputs are controlled by their respective Mon Send master
controls. Use balanced or unbalanced cables.
40. Phantom Power Active LED
The Phantom Power Active LED indicates that phantom power is available on all Mic
inputs. The Phantom +48V switch is located on the same back panel as the AC switch
and cable socket.
Note: phantom power will not interfere with the performance of most dynamic mics.
41. Headphones Level Control and Output Jack
The level control regulates the output of the headphone amplifier. The headphone
output jack is located on the front of the mixer beside the Phantom +48V switch. The
headphone program originates from the main L/R buss unless a solo is active in which
case it originates from the Solo bus.
