INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the PM50sOB Stereo Personal 

Monitor Amplifier. This unit is a unique device for monitoring ones 

self and program material at the same time. It has a monitor level 

control and a mic level control, a mic pass-through XLR jack, ear-

phone and headphone output jacks, and a switchable stereo/mono 

1/4" monitor input jack.

The PM50sOB is designed for performers who need to monitor their 

own signal, such as their vocals, with the main mix. It has become 

very popular with drummers who need to mix a click track with a 

monitor signal. Church choir singers love the PM50sOB  to monitor 

their voices over the musicians. And many sound technicians use 

the PM50 as a quick line tester to troubleshoot audio systems.

The PM50sOB features all these benefits in a convenient battery-

powered package. The PS27 12 VDC adapter is sold separately.
