  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction Description The ProMatrix products are designed for sound reinforcement/distribution in multi-room applications. The PM-3180 consists of three independent ampli- fiers, rated at 20, 60 and 100 watts. The PM-3000 is a three channel pre- amplifier unit designed to offer the flexibility for applications with power requirements that exceed the limits of the PM-3180.

  • Page 9: Features

    Introduction Features The ProMatrix units have the following features: • 2 Lo-Z balanced Mic inputs (Mic A is female XLR, Mic B is screw termi- nals). Mic B can be configured as a 600-Ohm transformer balanced input for telephone paging applications. •...

  • Page 10: Quick Start

    Quick Start This Quick Start section is intended to assist you in getting the ProMatrix unit up and running quickly so that you can become familiar with it. Important: Do not place any objects directly on top of the unit. Leave at least 2 inches of space above the unit to assure prop- er ventilation.

  • Page 11: Basic Wiring

    Quick Start Basic Wiring 1. Temporarily set the AUX INPUT TRIM controls on the rear panel to their full counterclockwise position. Trims will be adjusted later. 2. Be sure that the voltage select switch is set correctly. Connect the power cord to the AC LINE INPUT 3.

  • Page 12: Factory Programmed Configuration

    Quick Start Factory Programmed Configuration When the ProMatrix unit is first powered up, the factory default settings are loaded. The factory default priority table is listed below. If you want to change any of these priority levels, you will have to use the ASSIGNMENT function in the programming mode.

  • Page 13: Basic Operation

    Quick Start Basic Operation This section will show you how to: • Apply power to the unit • Understand the Control Panel (See page 12 for full description) • Select which channel the control panel affects • Change volume • Change Bass and Treble response •...
  • Page 14 Quick Start To Control Volume Note: Changing any of the volume, bass or treble levels will effect all inputs associated with that amp/channel channel. Turning up the volume for the current amp/channel will cause other inputs assigned to that amp/channel to play louder when they become active.
  • Page 15 Quick Start To Select a Specific Input The ProMatrix unit is normally set to monitor input activity and, based on the default or installer-created priority table, automatically switches the proper input for each amp/channel. You can override the priority switching feature of any amp/channel to select a specific input to be on continuously.

  • Page 16: Aux Input Trim Adjustment

    Quick Start Aux Input Trim Adjustment By adjusting the Trim controls as follows, inputs with different signal levels are set approximately equal within the ProMatrix unit. Important: You must properly set the Aux Input Trim Controls. Improperly adjusted trims can result in high distortion levels, poor volume balance between different inputs or false triggering of inputs.

  • Page 23: Aux Inputs

    Wiring Information AUX Inputs Unbalanced input sources other than microphones are connected to the AUX INPUT jacks. The output lead from the source must be terminated in an RCA-type plug. The input signal range is 100mVrms to 3Vrms and is adjusted using the AUX TRIM controls.

  • Page 24: Mic Inputs

    Wiring Information MIC Inputs Mic A Pin 1 is GND Pin 2 (+) Pin 3 (-) If Mic A has a push-to-talk switch, use these termi- nals for the switch connection (see Mic Precedence Setup in the Programming Section). Mic B Shield Push-to-talk switch pair.

  • Page 25: User Operation

    User Operation The ProMatrix Control Panel The control panel is the interface between the user and the unit functions. Since there are three channels (amp or preamp) and only one control panel, the ProMatrix uses selector buttons, indicators and an alphanumeric display to provide control of the overall functions.
  • Page 26 User Operation To Control Volume, Bass or Treble Note: Changing any of the volume, bass or treble levels will effect all inputs associated with that amplifier channel. Turning up the volume for the current amplifier will cause other inputs to play louder when they become active.
  • Page 27 User Operation the current input was lowered by. This is because the levels set by the user are temporary and the ProMatrix always strives to maintain volume differences set by the preset programming. Typically, this will only occur when the inputs or limits are set vastly different for the inputs assigned to an amp channel.

  • Page 28: Programming

    Programming Enter Programming Mode The programming mode lets the installer custom configure the ProMatrix unit. The installer uses the programming buttons on the front panel or the infrared remote controller. Programming Buttons 1. Press PROG. The LED next to the button lights and the display shows 3 dashes.

  • Page 34: Presets

    Programming Presets This feature lets the installer adjust the power-up volume, bass and treble of each amp/channel-input combination. It also sets the relative volume levels between different inputs on a particular amplifier channel. The same inputs can have different volume and EQ settings on different amps. Note: The system should be completely wired before making any of these adjustments, since the installer will normally want to listen to the output in order to make the adjustment.
  • Page 35 Programming Note: Press and hold arrow buttons to effect rapid changes in volume. Quick presses of the buttons will effect single-step changes in volume. 5. Once you have set the desired volume for an input, press ENT. The PROG light will blink to indicate that the data was stored. 6.

  • Page 36: Volume Limit

    Programming Volume Limit This function sets the maximum volume level that a user can select for an amp/channel-input combination. Warning: The Volume Limit function will cause the amp- input combination in the PM-3180 to play at the maximum limit (default value is 25, full volume). This will normally be quite loud.
  • Page 37 Programming 6. Once you have set the desired limit for an input, press ENT. The PROG light will blink to indicate that data was stored. 7. Select another amp/channel-input combination and repeat Steps 4 and 5 to set other levels. Remember to press ENT after setting each level.

  • Page 38: Inhibit

    Programming Inhibit This function lets the installer inhibit the user’s ability to change the preset volume and tone settings for a particular amplifier (Bass and Treble are always inhibited together as Tones. Pressing BASS or TREB does the same thing). Once set, the unit will not respond to commands from the front panel or remote controller for this amplifier channel in the user mode.

  • Page 39: Aux Mute

    Programming Aux Mute The Aux Mute allows paging over music. This function sets the volume level of each AUX input when a page is made. Upon completion of the page, the music level fades up to the previous level. The levels can be set differently for each Aux input on each amplifier.

  • Page 40: Amplifier Link (Pm-3180 Only)

    Programming Amplifier Link (PM-3180 Only) This function disconnects the power amplifier input from the preamp pro- cessing circuit and permits the addition of outboard signal processing equip- ment (such as an equalizer or ambient noise response unit) to the Audio Process RCA connectors on the rear of the amplifier chassis.
