Once the studio monitors have been placed in their final location, it is time to proceed to connecting your
PM0.5 MKⅡ studio monitors to the mixing console or digital workstation. Connection to the PM0.5 MKⅡ can be
made using XLR or TRS connectors. The gain control on the back of the monitor allows continuously variable
adjustments to match most input types from -10dBV to +4dBu. The input is electronically balanced and is
compatible with unbalanced sources, although this may require an adapter. The connection of the PM0.5 MKⅡ
to the console/digital workstation should be done in the following order.
Step 1: Make sure that all equipment has been powered down.
Step 2: Confirm that all gain controls, on the monitor and the source, are set to the minimum setting.
Step 3: Connect the source to the PM0.5 MKⅡ monitor.
Step 4: Power up the all source equipment and then turn on the PM0.5 MKⅡ last.
Step 5: Set the gain of both monitors at medium setting and slowly bring up the gain of the console.
Step 6: Adjust the gain of both monitors for balance and for best signal to noise ratio
Once the above steps have been completed, you are ready to use your PM0.5 MKⅡ monitors. It is
recommended that you now play some familiar audio material and make any final adjustments, as far
as placement or level, to get the optimum performance in your monitoring environment.
