PM5D Console Setup
The PM5D comes in two distinct versions: the PM5D with manual, non‑
recallable head amp gain controls, and the PM5D‑RH that has digital head
amp gain controls that are fully programmable. Both versions of the console
have four MY expansion slots and can accept up to four 6416Y2 A‑Net
Interface Cards (64 channels total). The PM5D External HA screens will show
eight groups of eight remote controllable preamps maximum.
External head amp settings on the PM5D consoles are available from the
Input Patch window. This can be selected from the Display Access section of
the PM5D interface.
