User manual PEAVEY SRM

[. . . ] Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Before using this appliance, read the operating guide for further warnings. [. . . ] The phantom power is switched in groups of eight input channels. A phantom power switch is located in the last channel of each group (i. This switch will activate the phantom power for that channel and the seven previous channels before it. Do not connect devices which cannot handle this voltage (some wireless mic receivers may be damaged, so consult their manuals). Phantom power is not available at the talkback mic input. NOTE: When the SRM 2410's inputs are connected in parallel with a Front of House (FOH) console, the Phantom Power should be supplied by the FOH mixer instead of the SRM. In such applications (typical) the SRMs Phantom Power should be turned off. The SRM's Phantom Power is designed and recommended only when the mixer is used as a stand-alone, FOH console. Polarity Switch (found on the first six channels of each bank of eight): This switch reverses the polarity of the signal after the transformer. Therefore, it will not affect the thru signal going to the FOH mixer. The polarity switch is very useful in correcting frequency cancellation due to out of phase signals. The multiple microphone configurations used on drum kits are a common spot where this problem presents itself. During a sound check, a quick push-on/pushoff test of the drum channel's Polarity Switch should provide an audible indication of the switch's proper position. Channel Filtering/EQ The following section will explain the FLS®, Low Cut filter, and 4-Band EQ found on each input channel of your SRM. FLS®: The FLS ® (Feedback Locating System) senses which channel has the highest signal level pre-fader. When the FLS determines which channel has the highest signal level it illuminates the yellow FLS LED for that channel. Since feedback regenerates itself, it often produces the highest level signal, lighting an FLS LED, and allowing you to adjust that channel's level or EQ. (NOTE: It is possible for FLS to indicate a non-feedback channel since it monitors all audio levels within the channel section. Any audio signal with a higher average level than the feedback itself will be indicated by FLS. Since FLS is pre-fader it is possible to still get an indication on a channel's FLS LED even with the fader turned down. LOW CUT Switch: When in the down position, the low cut switch activates a high-pass filter within the channel. This filter has a corner frequency of 75 Hz and is used to eliminate low frequency signal content such as rumble and wind noise. [. . . ] Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord.

Never walk on or place equipment on power supply cords. [. . . ]
