Peavey PM 1 - Manual (Page 7)

13. CHANNEL FADER
This stereo fader controls the level of each individual channel regardless of input type. Placing the
fader in the Т0У position will produce minimum gain or no signal. Moving the fader to the Т10У
position will give maximum gain or the highest output.
14. CHANNEL INPUT SELECT SWITCH
The inputs on Channels 1 through 4 are controlled by an input selector switch. Each channel has a
designated switch that is used to select its input. The inputs of Channels 1 and 2 offer both
PHONO and LINE options. Use the switch to select which input you desire.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL INPUT SELECT SWITCH FROM THE LINE
POSITION TO THE PHONO POSITION WHILE THE CHANNEL FADER IS TURNED UP AND
MATERIAL IS BEING PLAYED. THESE TWO TYPES OF SIGNALS DIFFER IN LEVEL.
SWAPPING BETWEEN THEM WILL NOT ALWAYS PRODUCE EQUAL OUTPUTS FROM THE
PM ONE. DOING SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO BOTH HEARING AND/OR EQUIPMENT.
The inputs to Channel 3 are both LINE inputs and should be somewhat similar. Bouncing back and
forth between these inputs with little change in the Channel Fader should be easy to accomplish.
The inputs to Channel 4 are very different. Use the Channel Input Select Switch to select between
LINE and MIC 2. Note: DonÕt forget that MIC 2 is live when it is selected. The Voice-over Switch
will control MIC 2. MIC 2 is an optional microphone input selectable only on Channel 4 to give you
a second microphone input if needed. Placing the Voice-over switch in the TALK position will drop
the MIC 2 level as wellas any music on the other channels. Only MIC 1 and its channel remain at
normal operating levels while TALK is selected.
MASTER CONTROLS
This section describes the master controls, which are those controls that affect the channel mix
and/or outputs. The signal produced by this section of the PM One is the signal found at the outputs.
15. MASTER MONO/STEREO SWITCH
This switch determines if the output is mono or stereo. In the MONO position, the the left and right
signals are combined and the L and R outputs are identical. You may, however, EQ them
individually with their respective equalizers prior to them becoming mono. When in the STEREO
position, the signals stay separated in true stereo. The L and R EQ/Output combination remains as
LEFT and RIGHT signals.
16. MASTER FADER
This fader controls the overall output level for outputs (5) and (6). Essentially, this is your master
volume control. Monitor the Stereo Signal Level Meter (21) to ensure your level does not exceed
the +3 dB mark and begin clipping. The optimum position for this control will produce a signal in
the 0 dB range, just slightly lighting the red LEDs at the highest peaks.
17. X-FADER
This stereo slider delivers crossfade capability between any two input channels (1-4). You will find
an X-Fader Assign selector on each side of the X-Fader. These are used to select the two input
channels that the X-Fader will crossfade between. Adjusting this slider from its maximum left
position to its maximum right position will pan the main output from being completely one channel
(the channel selected on the left X-Fader Assign) to completely another channel (the channel
