16 OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE PMX SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Wharfedale Pro PMX System provides you with everything you need to get up and running for a public performance. 1x PMX powered mixer x PT-X -way loudspeakers 1x DM 1. dynamic microphone 1x.m microphone cable x speaker cables A PMX System package comprises of a PMX powered mixer (PMX or PMX), a pair of -way loudspeakers (PTX-8 with the PMX System and PTX-1 with the PMX System), a DM1. dynamic microphone and the necessary cables to connect the system. Setting up a PMX System has been designed to be simple even for absolute beginners. Connect the components as shown in the wiring diagram to create a basic vocal PA. Adding more equipment is simple, always consult the user manual of any rd party equipment to ensure you will get the best performance. QUICK START GUIDE In order to get up and running with your PMX System follow the steps below: 1. Zero the mixer. This involves setting all level and send controls to minimum and all EQ controls to db.. Make all connections for audio and power as per the wiring diagrams: 1. Ensure that the power switch is on the off position before connecting the AC supply.. Connect the microphone using the supplied XLR cable. Connect each speaker to the main outputs using the supplied speaker cables. If your microphones require phantom power use the rear panel switch to activate +8V supply.. Turn the power switch on.. Raise the level control for each of your connected sources, ensure that the LED does not constantly illuminate.. Raise the Mix control until you achieve the desired Sound Pressure (SPL). NOTE If the sound becomes distorted at higher volumes you may need to add extra equipment to achieve the desired SPL, otherwise you may cause permanent damage to your system by overloading it. 1

17 PMX Powered Mixer USB INTERFACE The USB connector enables computers with USB connectivity to interface directly with the PMX 1 mixer for full duplex recording and playback. In recent years the introduction of USB connectivity has ushered a new appreciation of the capabilities of computer audio, helping to fuse both digital and analogue and open up endless possibilities for the recording musician. The internal AD (Analogue to Digital) and DA (Digital to Analogue) converters are 1-bit/8KHz enabling recording and playback above CD quality, ensuring that recordings that you make with a PMX 1 have outstanding quality. The PMX 1 is fully class compliant and requires no drivers when used with modern operating systems. Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and will require no additional driver software. Windows XP Installation Simply choose the device in the following location: Start/Settings/Control el/sounds and Audio Devices/Audio Mac OSX Installation Simply select as an input and output device using the "Audio MIDI Setup" page, you can find this easily using the spotlight function. 1
