CUE

signal. Slowly turning the control clockwise to the middle

position allows you to monitor

CUE

mix with

PGM

. Moving the

control clockwise to the right allows you to monitor

PGM

output.

Use the

CUE SPLIT/MIX

(48) switch to split the audio input

playing in your head phones. Flip the

CUE SPLIT/MIX

(48)

switch to

MIX

mode to monitor your

CUE/PGM

signal mixed in

both headphones, while

CUE/MIX/PGM

(45) rotary control is in

the middle position. When the

CUE SPLIT/MIX

(48) switch is in

SPLIT

mode, this enables you to monitor both outputs separately.

Notice one side of your headphones will play your

CUE

and the other

side will play

PGM

. This feature will only work properly if the

CUE/MIX/PGM

(45) rotary control is placed at the middle position. If the

CUE/MIX/PGM

(45) rotary control is set to

CUE

you will only here the

CUE

signal playing on the left side of your headphones. If the

CUE/MIX/PGM

(45) rotary control is set to

PGM

, the

PGM

will be the

only signal heard from the right side of your headphones.

VU METER:

The

PS-03

has a dual mode

VU METER

(50) that

allows you to monitor the decibel levels of

CUE

and

PGM

LEFT

and

RIGHT

stereo levels of the

MASTER

output. With the

VU MODE

SWITCH

(49) you may monitor the output level of the

CUE

and

PGM

when the switch is

. When this mode is engaged the

CUE

will be

located on the left of the

VU METER

(50), while the

PGM

will be locat-

ed on the

RIGHT

. Or you can monitor the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

stereo deci-

bel levels of the

MASTER OUTPUT

when the

VU MODE SWITCH

(49)

is in the

DOWN

position.

NOTE: WHEN USING THE FILTER EFFECT, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A TONAL BOOST
DURING A HIGH PASS THAT WILL SEND YOUR MASTER OUTPUT LEVELS INTO THE
BLUE (0 T11), AS INDICATED IN YOUR VU METER (50). ADJUST THE CHAN-
NEL FADERS (29, 36, 43), IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM A SYSTEM
OVERLOAD. TO BEGIN FILTER EXPERIMENTATION, START WITH A LOW PASS
(RESONANCE FADER (65) TO THE LEFT) WITH YOUR CHANNEL FADERS (29, 36, 43) AT
MID LEVEL. THEN MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE MID AND HIGH PASS TO EXAMINE
THE TONAL BOOST, SAFELY.

The

PS-03

is equipped with

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR

(

DSP

)

FILTER

effects. This means you may augment the cut off frequency of

your program mix by filtering out the tonal boost located in the

LOW

MID

, and/or

HIGH

frequency range. When an audio signal is processed

through the

FILTER

the unselected frequency(ies) will be muffled until it

is completely cancelled depending on the level of filtration. A wide range
of effects can be achieved with the

PS-03 FILTER

. Please follow these

instructions to operate the

FILTER

effects section of your mixer:

EFX ASSIGN:

You may filter the audio outputs of

CH1

(29),

CH2

(36),

CH3

(43),

MIC

(21), or the

MASTER

(47). The blue

LED

indicator will show you which

will be filtered. When the

CUE FILTER

mode is activated the

EFX

ASSIGN LED

will blink to indicate which

will be filtered in

CUE

. In

order to choose the frequency pass to

FILTER

press any of the

3 BAND

FILTER PASS

(62) buttons located to the right of the

CUE

FILTER/TEMPO ON

(63) button.

NOTE: WHEN FLIPPING THROUGH CHANNELS AND THE DRY/WET FADER (59) IS AT
THE WET POSITION, AN AUDIBLE CLICK MAY BE HEARD IN PGM. TO PREVENT THIS
CLICK FROM BEING HEARD, LOWER THE CH SLIDES NOT IN USE TO THE CLOSED,
ZERO POSITION, PLACE THE DRY/WET FADER (59) IN THE DRY POSITION BEFORE
FLIPPING THROUGH THE CH WITH THE EFX ASSIGN (66).

FILTER PASS BUTTONS:

When you press one of the frequency

FIL-

TER PASS

(62) buttons you will engage the pass, or direct the frequen-

cy to pass through the

FILTER

. You will notice this effect more when the

DRY/WET FADER

(59) is at

WET

. You may filter up to

band frequen-

cies (

LOW

BAND

, &

HIGH

) at the same time. These filtration settings

can be saved into the filter memory via the

FILTER RECALL

(61) buttons

located on the left of the

CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON

(63) button. See

FIL-

TER RECALL

for more info.

FILTER RECALL:

You may store up to

filtration settings into the

PS-03

filter memory with the use of the

FILTER RECALL

(61) section.

With this feature you will store various levels of filtration, as set in the

FILTER PASS

(62) buttons, the

DRY/WET

(59),

Q FACTOR

(60),

RESONANCE

(65),

CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON

(63) &

TEMPO

(64) con-

trol settings. To store these filtration settings, first set your filter as
instructed in the respective filter section instructions in the manual.

Once your filter has been set, press & hold one of the

FILTER

RECALL

(61) buttons for

seconds. The chosen

FILTER RECALL

LED

will flash when a filter setting is stored or the

FILTER RECALL

(61)

is in use. The

LED

will stop blinking and remain lit when this button is

not in use. The

LED

will remain lit to indicate that a filter setting is stored
