We know you'll be happy with the PM-16 system. If you have any comments or questions, please get in touch with us. We like to get feedback from and interact with our users: •... - Page 8 We recommend using a DM-8 Distribution Module to deliver AC power and audio to the PM-16s but it is not required. See PM-16 System Connections on page 17 to learn how to connect the PM-16 with or without a DM-8.

Page 9: Input Module
Route the analog inputs to another IM-16 or even another manufacturer’s input module. Many instal- lations have an existing monitoring system, but have chosen the PM-16 to expand their infrastructure. The THRU connectors make this cross-product integration possible. See System with Additional DM-8s on page 18 for other ways to expand a PM-16 system. -
Page 10: Network Connector
Connect a standard CAT5E cable from the IM-16’s RJ-45 NETWORK connector to the PoE x1 input on the DM-8 or NETWORK IN on the PM-16. See PM-16 System Connections to learn how to interconnect all PM-16 System components. SIG and CLIP LEDs Each channel has two front panel LEDs: •... -
Page 11: Distribution Module
Elite Core PM-16 User Guide DM-8 Distribution Module One DM-8 Distribution Module can deliver power and audio to eight PM-16 Personal Mixers. Since the DM-8 delivers power over the CAT5E cable, its PM-16s do not need a power supply. Figure 5 DM-8 Distribution Module front panel (top), and rear panel (below) The front panel has the following LEDs and connectors: •... - Page 12 Elite Core PM-16 User Guide...

Page 13: Personal Mixer
We recommend keeping the channel LEVEL controls lower than the MASTER level. See the SIG section below to avoid clipping the channel input. PAN sets the channel’s left/right balance. This allows each PM-16 Personal Mixer to set not only its own mix but unique stereo assignments as well. -

If either red clip LED lights, we recommend reducing your output level to preserve headroom. The clip LED lights 3 dB below actual clipping. The red LED to the right of the output LEDs lights when the PM-16 is connected to a power source, either from the DM-8 or its own power supply. -

Ethercon connector for added protection and stability. We recommend a maximum cable length of 500 ft (150 m). All PM-16 systems must use an IM-16 Input Module and one or more PM-16 Personal Mixers. We recommend using the DM-8 Distribution Module to deliver audio and power to the PM-16s, but it is not required (see below). -
Page 18: System Without A
Elite Core PM-16 User Guide PM-16 System Without a DM-8 A PM-16 can receive audio directly from the IM-16 Input Module and pass it to other PM-16s. How- ever, each PM-16 must use its own power supply. To connect PM-16s without a DM-8: 1. -
