Ganging Connection
The PSC ProMix 6 also is equipped with a “Gang Input” connector. This
connector allows the user to have access to the left and right mix busses within
the mixer. This connector can be used for connecting other mixers and audio
sources into the ProMix 6. Typically, another mixer’s output would be connected
into the ProMix 6’s ganging input to allow a greater number of input channels to
be routed through the ProMix 6. To gang two ProMix 6’s together, you must
simply connect a cable that has a ¼” stereo connector on each end from one of
the ProMix 6’s (slave unit) auxiliary outputs to the other ProMix 6’s (master unit)
ganging input. The master unit will now allow you to meter, monitor and output
all 12 of the inputs of the two mixers.
External Power Connection
On the upper right corner of the right hand side panel of the ProMix 6 audio mixer
you will find a 4 pin Hirose connector labeled as “EXT PWR” This connector is
used to connect an external source of power to operate the ProMix 6. This
connector uses industry standard pin-outs of Pin 1 = Ground and Pin 4 = Positive
power. Any external source of DC power may be used as long as it is within the
range of 7 to 18Vdc. All external sources should be externally fused for
protection. Any external power supply should also be rated to provide a
minimum of 300mA for proper operation. Internally the mixer is protected against
reversed polarity. If you incorrectly provide the external power connector with the
wrong polarity, the mixer will not be damaged, it simply will not power up.
Tape Returns
Your new PSC ProMix 6 is designed to be operated with up to two cameras.
Because of this, the ProMix 6 has two sets of tape return monitor inputs. These
are normally used with the corresponding two camera outputs. The two tape
returns are located on the right hand side panel along the top edge directly above
the XLR outputs. These two jacks are 3.5mm stereo mini jacks. Normally you
would connect the tape return plug(s) from one or two of our PSC Beta snake
cables to these jacks. The use of these jacks allows the operator to monitor the
tape return signal from his cameras, thus insuring a proper connection to the
camera and/or that proper recording has taken place depending on the camera
model. Adjacent to the jacks there are screw driver trim pots for easy level
adjustment and matching. These are used to set proper audio levels so that
when you switch from monitoring audio from the mixer to monitoring audio form
the tape returns, you have the same consistent levels throughout.
Battery Door / Battery Compartment
The battery compartment is located on the right hand side panel of the mixer.
The PSC ProMix 6 uses 8 AA alkaline or Lithium batteries. They are inserted
