PAA3X 

English

 

8. Jog Control

Jog control, on the left-hand side of this unit, 
provides users with a hassle free method of 
scrolling menus and selecting options with a 
single hand. Simply rotate to scroll up and down 
menus and push the wheel inwards to select (to 

either enter a menu or finalize a setting). Alter

-

nately, the three function buttons (points 4 to 6 
on page 2) may also be used to scroll options 

and  finalize  selections.  However,  with  a  little 

practice, this jog wheel is perhaps the fastest 
way to use the PAA3X.

9. SD Memory Card Slot

Insert an appropriate SD memory card into this 
slot to save screen captures. The SD card must 

be formatted in FAT-32 file format. Please be 

aware that formatting the SD card will remove 
all content.

10. Power LED

This LED indicator will light up green when the 
PAA3X is turned on. When the USB connector 
is connected to an appropriate power adapter 

or computer, this LED will flash to indicate the 

battery is charging.

11. USB Connector

This USB port is used for charging the PAA3X’s 
built-in battery. Please use the included power 
adapter only (5VDC, 2A). 

12. Balanced XLR Input

This balanced input allows users to feed signals 
from external devices to the PAA3X to take vari-
ous readings in any number of functions. To use 
the XLR input as your input source, select “Line 
in” as the system’s primary input source.

13. Balanced XLR Output

This connector is for sending a balanced signal 
from the internal tone generator to external de-
vices. The level of the output signal is determined 
by the internal signal generator.

14. Stand Mount

A stand mount is located on the rear of the 
PAA3X. This allows for connection to a tripod 
or any other stand that has a standard ¼”-20 
connecting screw. These are often found on 
camera tripods.  Also included with the PAA3X is 
a stand adapter, allowing the unit to be mounted 
on microphone stands as well.

15. Battery Cover

The PAA3X’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery 
can be found within this battery cover. In the 
event you will not use the PAA3X for an extended 
period of time, Phonic suggests removing the 
battery to preserve its integrity. 

16. Mic Slot

Place the detachable microphone here when 
not in use.
