CONNECTING A MICROPHONE

The PZ-Pro includes a locking female XLR jack for 

connecting a microphone to the Input of channel 

B. When activated, the microphone input overrides 

the instrument input for channel B - this is done 

by activating the Mic On switch next to the XLR 

connection. You can use this input for clip-on 

instrument mics, wireless microphones, and even 

vocal mics! 

The Mic Input,

48V and Mic On

For  dynamic  microphones  that  don't  require  additional  power,  simply 

plug  and  play.  When  connecting  condenser  microphones  that  require 

phantom power, first connect your mic, then hit the Mute Footswitch to 

prevent any pops through the audio system, and finally activate the 48V 

switch on the rear panel of the PZ-Pro to power your microphone. The 

channel B Level control provides up to +55dB of gain when the Mic On 

switch is active.   

CONNECTING INSTRUMENTS WIRED WITH

TWO PICKUP SYSTEMS

Input B on the PZ-Pro is specially equipped to accommodate instruments 

with two pickup systems wired to a single 1/4" TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) 

output. This allows you to feed a separate pickup system to each 

channel of the PZ-Pro using a single cable. Simply use a 1/4" TRS cable 

as shown in the diagram below to connect to Input B of the PZ-Pro, while 

leaving nothing connected to Input A. The Tip conductor of the cable will 

feed channel B, while the ring will feed channel A, giving you the ability 

to switch between the two pickups or blend them together with the A+B 

switch.
