The equalizers used for the MX Series are based on the legendary circuitry of top-notch consoles
made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world for their incredibly warm and musical sound
character. Even with extreme gain settings these equalizers ensure outstanding audio quality.
Additionally, your PMX Series mixing consoles has an effects processor with 24-bit A/D and D/A con-
verters included, which gives you 100 presets producing first-class reverb, delay and modulation effects
plus numerous multi-effects in excellent audio quality.
The PMX Series mixing consoles are equipped with a state-of-the-art switched-mode power supply
(
SMPS
). Unlike conventional circuitry an SMPS provides an optimum supply current regardless of the
input voltage. And thanks to its considerably higher efficiency a switched-mode power supply uses less
energy than conventional power supplies.

PMX Series Mixer
The USB interface supplied with the unit is a perfect match for the PMX Series and serves as a
powerful recording interface to you PC or MAC. It supports the digital transmission of signals on up to
four channel with max 48kHz and extremely low latency. When wired to the CD/TAPE INPUT and
OUTPUT connectors, the interface transfers the stereo mix from the console directly to a computer. Both
the recording signals and the playback signal from the computer can be monitored at the same time. In
this way, you can use several recording runs to produce complete multi-track recordings.
We should like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your
hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX faders and phones
control in the main section fully down before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to
set the appropriate volume.
