Step 4: Power up all the equipment and then turn on the PM0.5d last.

Step 5: Set the gain of both speakers 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 PM0.5d. 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.

1. Input

The XLR out of XLR/PHONE combo con-

nector is used for inputting the electrically

balanced input signal. The PHONE out of

XLR/PHONE combo connector as well

as the RCA jack next to the XLR/PHONE

combo connector are used for inputting the

electronically unbalance d input signal.

* CAUTION: Do not input the signals

to the XLR connector and RCA jack or

PHONE connector and RCA jack at the

same time. If you do so, both the signals are

mixed and output.

2. Continuously variable gain control

This control adjusts the input level to the

internal amplifiers.

3. Power Switch

Turns the power to the amplifier section on or off. On-position is the spot side.

4. AC IN

Connects the supplied AC cord.

• Auto Stand-by Mode

When no input signal continues for about 13 minutes or so, the PM0.5d will go into the stand-by

mode automatically and reduce the power consumption. This is indicated by the red lighting power

LED. In the normal operation mode, the power LED is lit in blue. If the input audio signal comes in

again, it will automatically return to the normal operation mode again.
