Connecting High Level Output Audio Sources Connect up to 8 such sources (tuner, cassette deck, CD Player, camcorder or VCR) to the input jacks for Line 1 (if not being used as Phono 1 input), Line 2, Line 3 (if not being used as Phono 2 input), Line 4, Line 5 and Line 6. [. . . ] When a microphone is not in use, set the MIC/TALKOVER switch to OFF. Monitoring ("Cueing") the Inputs 1. Set the CUE ASSIGN switch of the input source (MIC , CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH 4) you wish to monitor. Adjust the Headphone Level control to a comfortable listening level. The Headphone CUE/PGM control permits you to switch easily from listening to CUE material to the playing PROGRAM sound. You can also listen to both simultaneously by moving the Headphone CUE/PGM control to a point midway between the two ends. PM 3008: This model has an additional CUE on the sampler module for you monitor the sampled signal being applied. To monitor a sampled signal, press the SAMPLE ASSIGN button for the channel to which the sample has been saved, and then press the SAMPLE CUE button to audition this sound. Talkover Mode Talkover mode allows a voice to be heard clearly through the microphone by attenuating all the other audio input sources. This mode is engaged by setting the Talkover Switch to the TALKOVER position. Microphone Tone Controls Mixing the Inputs There are a maximum of ten input sources available at one time, including two microphone inputs. Both microphone input sources are always available as part of the mix, if desired. Each of the four audio channels can be linked to two different input sources, and one of these sources for each channel is available for mixing. Turn on all the available audio sources and be sure they are providing sound before continuing. Select the Channel Input Selectors for each channel, choose the audio sources you want to mix for each channel (i. e. , choose PHONO1/LINE1 or LINE2). Set the Mic and Channel Level controls all to within the 8 - 10 range. Slide the MASTER volume control toward 10 until you get an average reading of 0 on both Output Level LED Meters. The output level displayed in the meters represents the TOTAL output from all the channels supplying audio to the mix. NOTE: Once you set this level, we suggest you do not change it!If you add or change input sources, adjust the corresponding MIC1, 2 or CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 level control(s) to maintain the average reading of 0 on the LED meters. To change the overall sound level, adjust the RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER (NOT THE MIXER) volume control to the desired volume. These BASS and TREBLE controls, permit you to tailor the tone frequencies of the MIC inputs processed through the mix. Left in their center positions, the sound is unaffected ("flat"). Microphone Level Controls The independent MIC1 and MIC2 controls permit you to increase or decrease the levels of these microphones within the mix. 8 ­ PYRAMID Mixer Owner's Manual PYRAMID Mixer Owner's Manual ­ 9 Using the Mono/Stereo Mode Switch When the MASTER MONO/STEREO switch is in the MONO position, the mixer combines the right and left channels and sends them to the OUTPUT R and L jacks. These combined outputs can be used by a monoaural amplifier, such as a PA amp. In the STEREO position, right and left channels remain separate. [. . . ] The SPEED control lets you raise or lower the pitch of the sound effect, and the VOLUME control allows you to increase or decrease the effect's volume level within the mix. Feedback is present Using the Digital Sampler Follow these steps to record a sample: 1. Play the audio source for recording as a sample. (PM 3008) The PM 3008 mixer contains a digital sampler circuit which can record samples to the internal recording IC. These samples can then be assigned to CH 1, CH 2, CH 3, CH 4 and the MIC channel for playback. At the time of playback, the PITCH control can be adjusted to change the pitch of the sample. 2. [. . . ]
