[. . . ] PHASER : This effect is perfect for enhancing strummed acoustic guitar or electric guitar power chords. The PHASER effectively duplicates the popular 70's phase shift effect used for guitar.

If you have a delay effect selected, this adjusts the amount of time between the original signal and the delayed signal, with 0 being a short delay time and 10 being the longest delay time. If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect selected, this control adjusts the rate or speed of the modulation of the effect. MAIN EQUALIZER The MAIN EQUALIZER is used to shape the overall frequency response for the main speakers. The equalizer is the last thing in the chain prior to the signal being routed to the power amplifiers and the MIXER LINE OUT. How to Adjust the Graphic Equalizers: Note: These instructions are written on the top of the PPM Series cabinet, but we'll repeat them here because they are so important. Set the MIC channels to working volume levels (see "Level Setting" on page 6). Set the Graphic EQ sliders to zero (center). Slowly turn up the MAIN MASTER volume until feedback just begins to occur. Feedback can occur quickly and become very LOUD, very fast. Cut the appropriate slider until feedback stops. For better vocal sound, set the 125, 250, and 16K sliders to +5. Note: Make sure the singer is within 3 to 6 inches of the microphone. No amount of EQ can save a vocal when the singer is too far away from the microphone. For more presence, set the 4K and 8K sliders to +5. To warm up the overall sound, set the 2K slider to ­5. Use the RUMBLE REDUCTION switch to reduce the noise floor. REMEMBER, LESS IS BETTER. DAMPING/DEPTH PARAMETER If you have a reverb or delay effect selected, this control adjusts how fast the higher frequencies roll off in the reverberation or delay, with 0 having no roll off and 10 having the most roll off. If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect selected, this control adjusts the depth of the modulation of the effect.

[. . . ] Avoid using three-phase power lines since they are usually used for air conditioning and other heavy power equipment. If using 240VAC single phase with center-ground power, connect all audio equipment to one side of the AC power, and all lighting and other equipment to the other side. Be sure all AC outlet safety grounds are connected to one common point in a star ground arrangement. This common ground point should then tie back to earth ground at the service entrance by one heavy stranded wire, #2 gauge or larger. [. . . ]
