1. Power Switch - This switch controls the power to the BMC remote and
all internal electronics.
2. 5.1 Channel Inputs - These XLR inputs should be connected to the
5.1 channel outputs of your console or digital workstation. The inputs are
electronically balanced (Max input +24dBu). Do not connect more than one
source to these inputs. Refer to the wiring table on page 11 for wiring
custom cables and connectors.
3. L, C, R, LS & RS Outputs - These XLR outputs should be connected to
the inputs of the active monitors. These outputs are electronically balanced.
These outputs can be full range or bass-managed with a bandwidth limited to
spectral content above 80Hz. Refer to the wiring table on page 11 for wiring
custom cables and connectors.

CONNECTIONS
1. RJ-11 Main BMC Control Output: Connect this plug to the Main BMC
I/O unit with the supplied 25 ft. 6 conductor phone cable. This cable can be
extended to a maximum of 100 ft. using standard 6 conductor phone (not
data) cable.
2. RJ-11 Aux BMC I/O Control Output: This output allows for the control
of a second BMC I/O unit, for a total of 10.2 channels of audio.
CONTROLS
The Blue Sky BMC MK III has two operating modes. These two modes
are referred to as "OPERATOR" and "MENU". Some of the buttons on
the remote have two distinct functions depending on what mode the
BMC MK III is operating in. For more information, see the "Software
Features" section on page 8 & 9

activates the solo function for the right input on the BMC I/O unit. When a
second I/O unit (AUX) is connected, the solo function for the right input #2
can be activated by holding this button down for 5 seconds. The LED above
this button indicates an 'active' channel. This LED will turn off when another
channel is soloed.
MENU / SETUP MODE: The + button is used to adjust parameters within the
submenus. Press to increase individual channel levels, confirm selections,
navigate "Change Name" feature in the preset menu and to toggle settings.

4. Parallel Subwoofer Outputs - These outputs can be used to drive one
or more active subwoofers. The output signal is the sum total of both the
LFE and the bass-managed subwoofer signal (when the bass-management
feature is being used). Refer to the wiring table on page 11 for wiring custom
cables and connectors.
5. Remote Control RJ-11 Connector - This standard six conductor RJ-11
jack is used to connect the main I/O unit to the BMC remote. The remote
control cable length should not exceed 100 Feet.
6. IEC Power Terminal - Input Power Voltage 120 VAC / 60Hz or 240
VAC 50 / 60Hz (set at the factory), rated for 15- Watts. Use the included
