[. . . ] PPM608 8-Channel, 2 x 500 W Professional Powered Mixer OWNER'S MANUAL PPM608 Important Safety Instructions 1. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] The signal then passes through the compressor circuit (ch. 1 to 4 only), then through the channel EQ, and the channel level [27]. The mon 1 control [21] taps the signal off just before (pre) the channel level. The FX/mon 2 control [22] taps the signal off before (pre) and after (post) the channel level. The FX send/ mon 2 send switch [47] lets you choose which is used. Post is used for FX, and pre is for monitor 2. Stereo Channels 7 to 8 · Channels7and8arestereochannels, andtheir controls affect either the mono mic input, stereo line-level input, or stereo RCA inputs. (The mono mic input of each stereo channel is split equally to left and right). · ThestereochannelEQisa3-banddesignjust like the mono channel EQ. 16 PPM608 21. MON 1 This control allows you set up a nice monitor mix, independent of the main mix or the monitor 2 mix. Adjust these controls on each channel until your band is happy with the stage monitor mix. The controls are off when turned fully down, deliver unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up to 15 dB of gain turned fully up. Adjustments to the channel level or main mix level will not affect the monitor output, but channel EQ and gain [28] will. One of the powered mixer's internal amplifiers can power passive stage monitors if you set the power amp mode switch [4] on the rear panel. Mon 1 send [17] is a line-level output if you want to connect external power amplifiers and passive stage monitors, or powered stage monitors. CHANNEL EQUALIZATION (EQ) The PPM608 channels have 3-band equalization: low shelving, mid peaking, and high shelving. It's probably alltheEQyou'lleverneed!Shelvingmeansthatthe circuitry boosts or cuts all frequencies past the specified frequency. For example, the low EQ boosts bass frequencies below 80 Hz and continues down to the lowest note you never heard. Peaking means that certain frequencies form a "hill" around the center frequency. With too much EQ, you can really upset things. We've designed a lot of boost and cut into each equalizer circuit because we know that everyone will occasionally need that. But if you max the EQ on every channel, you'll get mix mush. Equalize subtly and use the left sides of the knobs (cut), as well as the right (boost). If you find yourself repeatedly using full boost or cut, consider altering the sound source, such as placing a mic differently, trying a different kind of mic, changing the strings, or gargling. Owner's Manual 22.

Often used by people based echo units provided. These 6 delay presets provide one (delay 1), three (delay 2), or six (delay 3) repeats of the original signal. The default delay time for each preset is shown in mS - the smaller the time, the faster the delay. [. . . ]
