PPM1012 Features

Rear Panel

1. POWER CONNECTION

This jack accepts the supplied  3-prong IEC AC power 

cord.

Before you plug the AC power cord into the 
powered mixer, make sure that the voltage of 
your unit is the same voltage as your local AC 

mains supply. Use only the power cord supplied. Also, 
disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is dangerous. Please 
don’t do it. And no running with scissors either. Let's be 
safe out there!

2. POWER SWITCH

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn on 

the mixer. The front panel power LED [42] will glow 
with happiness, or at least it will if you have the mixer 
plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply.

Press the bottom of this switch to turn off the mixer, 

whenever you feel that this would be a safe thing to do.

As a general guide, you should turn on your 
powered mixer fi rst, before any external power 
amplifi ers or powered speakers, and turn it off 
last. This will reduce the possibilities of any 

turn-on, or turn-off thumps in your speakers. 

3. SPEAKER-LEVEL OUTPUTS

These output connections provide speaker-level 

output power from the internal power amplifi ers to your 
passive speakers. The outputs can be selected with the 
amp mode switch [53] to be either the stereo main mix, 
mono main mix/monitor 1, or monitor 1/monitor 2.

The power output of the PPM1012 is 500 watts rms 

per channel into 4 ohms, and 800 watts peak.

Two common types of connector are provided for your 

convenience: Speakons and 1/4" TS.

• 

Speakon outputs are wired Pin 1+ positive 
(hot) and Pin 1– negative (cold).

Mono Speakon Connection

• 

1/4" TS outputs are wired Tip positive, and 
Sleeve negative.

1/4" TS Connection

These two types of outputs are wired in parallel, and 

it is possible to use both types at once.

The minimum impedance that the powered 
mixer can handle is 4 ohms per channel, and 
we recommend that you do not go below this. 

If you are using both outputs per channel, make sure 
each loudspeaker is 8 ohms impedance or greater.

4. VENTILATION

These holes in the rear panel allow the inter-
nal fans to fl ow breezy and minty-fresh cooling 
air over the internal power amplifi ers. Do not 

obstruct these holes, or the amplifi ers may overheat and 
shut down. Do not remove the feet, as these help keep 
the powered mixer off the ground for ventilation.
