Electro-Voice STEREO POWERED MIXER PSX2200 - Manual (Page 3)

FIRST OF ALL, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATE YOU TO YOUR PURCHASE OF A ELECTRO-VOICE
POWER MIXER.
The design of the PSX compact power mixers is based on decades of experience, research and development as well client inter-communi-
cation in the professional audio market. With the PSX you own a power mixer that offers a wide range of functionality in a very compact frame.
All the troubling experiences with cabling and matching mixers, amplifiers, FX units, and equalizers is history. You now own a device with
optimally matched components.
The mixer’s ergonomic shape and clearly structured controls allow instant access at all times. Also during the transport you will quickly learn
to appreciate the PSX’s superiority: recessed handles on both sides, compact dimensions and low weight. Additionally, a sturdy dust hood
protects the controls against damaging.
Through its multiple functions, its high dynamic capacity, and extremely low-noise design in combination with the 18bit-Dual-Stereo effects
unit and the high-performance power amplifier, the PSX is best equipped for universal use. No matter, whether on-stage, in a home recording
environment or in a permanent installation, Electro-Voice’s PSX is the ideal partner to meet your expectations of a professional audio device
- effective and reliable.
Of course, you want to operate your new PSX as quickly as possible. But please, take your time to read about all connections, functions, and
controls, first. Every section is explained systematically and in detail within this owner’s manual: the input channels, the effects and the master
section as well as the built-in power amplifier. Through the careful perception of the manual you will learn a great deal about all functions and
find some useful and practical tips for the daily operation of the PSX. Even more important, you will find some adjustment instructions that
should be painstakingly carried out; plus the description of a typical sound reinforcement installation, the block diagram, specifications,
connection guidelines, etc... So, take your time and keep on reading.
UNPACKING AND WARRANTY
Open the packaging and take out the PSX. Detach the protective foil of the FX unit’s display. In addition to this owner’s manual you will find
the mains supply cord and the warranty card. Please check, if the warranty registration form is filled out correctly. Only when this form is
completed, you will be able to apply for warranty claims. We grant 36 months of warranty, starting with the date of purchase. Therefore, we
ask you to also keep the original certificate of purchase together with the warranty certificate.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Always install the PSX on an even surface to allow for sufficient airflow during the operation. The device is equipped with electronically
controlled fans to protect the power amplifier against thermal overload. The direction of the airflow is front to rear. Fresh, cold air enters the
mixer at its front side and warm air leaves the device through the ventilation louvres in the rear panel. Do not cover the frontal or the rear
ventilation louvres, since otherwise, the PSX would automatically enter the protect mode to prevent the occurrence of thermal overload. When
the protect mode is engaged, the device is not going to be damaged. But during this period of time regular operation is not possible.
Before establishing the mains connection, please make sure that the device matches the voltage and frequency of your local mains supply.
Check the label next to the mains switch. When switching the power on, the internal ventilators will run for about 2 seconds at full speed to
give you an acoustical signal that the PSX entered the operation mode. In addition dust particles that might have gotten into the enclosure
are blown out.
The SPEAKER OUTPUTS on the rear panel of the PSX are provided through professional standard Speakon connectors which offer an
absolutely secure connection. The pin assignment of these sockets is 1+ (hot) and 1- (cold).
