User manual YAMAHA PSS590

[. . . ] · A C-R/PHONES jack offers easy connection to a sub amp for monitoring. It allows monitoring of the main stereo output, TAPE IN input and the signals from groups 1/2, 3/4. · The mixer is equipped with a highly efficient, built-in digital effects section. The built-in effects allow you to create professional sounding mixes without the need of additional equipment. [. . . ] · If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable plug from the electrical outlet. · If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be an electrical shock hazard. Cautions · Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard. Operating Notes · Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. · XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-). · Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return. · The performance of components with moving contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of deterioration depends on the operating environment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective components.

To obtain an optimum balance between the S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the peak indicator w occasionally lights. -60 to -16 indicates the MIC input adjustment level, -34 to +10 indicates the LINE input adjustment level. q w w PEAK Indicator e The indicator detects peaks in the signal after it has passed the EQ. (Tip:L, Ring:R, Sleeve:Ground) MX12/6, 20/6 -- Owner's Manual Front & Rear Panels 7 Rear Panel w i u y t r e q q INSERT I/O Jack (MX12/6:CH1-4, MX20/6:CH1-8) These are input/output jacks that are positioned between the equalizer and fader of the input channel. They have a nominal input/impedance of 0dB/ 600 and a nominal output/impedance of 0dB/ 10k. These jacks can be used to connect devices such as a graphic equalizer, compressor, noise filter, etc. The TRS type phone jack allows bi-directional connection with the INSERT I/O jack. Connecting a device to these jacks will require a special insertion cable like the one shown in the diagram on the right. Please use an optional YAMAHA Insertion Cable YIC025/050/070, etc. to the input jack of the external processor to the INSERT I/O jack Sleeve Sleeve Ring Tip Tip to the output jack of the external processor w PHANTOM +48V Switch Turns the phantom power ON/OFF for all channels 1-8. When the switch is ON, +48V DC is supplied to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR type MIC INPUT connectors. If phantom power is not required, make sure the switch is set to the OFF position. NOTE: With this switch turned ON, it is not a problem to connect balanced dynamic microphones or line level devices however, hum or malfunction may occur when connecting unbalanced devices or devices for which the center of the transformer is ungrounded. e SEND Jack · AUX1, AUX2 These are impedance balanced phone type output jacks with a nominal output/impedance of +4dB/ 600. The jacks can be used to send the signal to a monitor system such as a cue-box. MX12/6, 20/6 -- Owner's Manual 8 Front & Rear Panels · EFFECT This is an impedance balanced phone type output jack with a nominal output/impedance of +4dB/ 600. This jack is used to send the signal to an external effector, etc. r RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks These are unbalanced phone type line input jacks with a nominal input/impedance of +4dB/600. [. . . ] If necessary, use a monitoring device (a pair of headphones, monitor speakers, etc. ), a recording device, effector, etc. MX12/6, 20/6 -- Owner's Manual 10 Applications Example 2) Home Recording Headphones Powered Speakers (for monitoring) C-R/PHONES GROUP OUT 1 Effector AUX 2 (POST) SEND 2 3 4 LINE IN (Audio Card, etc. ) RETURN Effector INSERT I/O Master Recorder ST OUT INPUT INPUT (ST CH) LINE OUT (Audio Card, etc. ) Computer Tone Generator, Synthesizer, Microphone, etc. Procedure <Preparations> q Connect a tone generator, synthesizer, microphone, etc. to the INPUT jacks, and connect a master recorder such as an MD or CD to the ST OUT jacks. w Connect a computer's audio card's LINE IN jack to the GROUP 3, 4 jacks and connect a pair of powered speakers, etc. e Connect the computer's LINE OUT jack to the stereo INPUT channel jack.
