Pre-Amplifiers
The inputs of the PSC ProMix 6 are all female XLR connectors and the input
circuitry is balanced. Careful attention was given to RF immunity for the input
circuitry to help eliminate RF problems in the field. The XLR connectors are
wired as follows:
Pin 1 = Ground, Pin 2 = High
(Audio in Phase),
Pin 3 Low
(Audio out of Phase)
Gain Settings
The six input channels of the PSC ProMix 6 use pre-amplifiers that are designed
for real-world ease of use. These pre-amplifiers have 3 basic gain settings.
These gain settings are labeled:
C
(Condenser Microphone) L (Line Level Input)
and
D
(Dynamic Microphone) Using these 3 settings makes for easy and fast
setups in the field. You must simply select the gain setting that best matches
your input signal and you are done. Typically, Condenser microphones (powered
microphones) have a higher output level than that of a dynamic microphone. To
use a condenser microphone, just set the input gain setting switch to “
C
”. To use
a dynamic microphone, set the input gain switch to “D” When using line level
sources, set the input gain setting switch to “
L
” When using most wireless
microphone receivers, set the input gain setting switch to “
C
”.
Microphone Powering
The PSC ProMix 6 audio mixer is equipped with 48PH microphone power. Each
of the six input channels has a separate switch to enable the 48PH microphone
power for that individual channel. These switches are labeled “
D
” and “
48
”. In
the “D” position, there is no microphone power being applied to that XLR input.
