Introduction
• After reading these pages, most of you will be able to connect
sources and operate this unique pre-amp/mixer without
further instructions. For more details, please take a look at the
blockdiagram for better understanding and refer to the front
and rear panel layout descriptions on the next pages.
• The PM1122 features 5 mono mic/line balanced inputs with
individual sensitivity, level and tone adjustment potmeters. Each
mic input has its own phantom dipswitch at the back. Each mic
input can be assigned to zone 1 and/or zone 2 outputs with
dipswitches on the front of the preamp.
Don’t use unbalanced
sources in combination with phantom power turned on on
the same channel !
Every mic/line channel has its own signal/
clip led, it lights green when a suffi ciently strong signal is
present, and turns red when the input is overloaded, turn down
the sensitivity adjustment at the rear to prevent unwanted
overloads !
• The 5 mic/line inputs (+ the adjustable chime) are all being
mixed together to the mix mic output after passing through
the adjustable noise gate. This circuit mutes the mic/line + the
chime output signal mix output when no suffi ciently strong
signal is present. The gate is active (closed) when the yellow led
lamp next to the gate sensitivity knob is lit. Use the gate only
to mute unwanted mic noise in your mic/line signal, it is not a
“vox” or “voice over”circuit. Set the threshold until the gate
“opens” when you are talking softly (not shouting !) into one
of the connected mics or when a mono line signal is present or
when the chime is activated (fi rst set the chime and mic levels
to an appropriate level). The combined output is separately
available at the rear of the device and allows you to use
