PM5D / PM5D-RH Quick Start Guide Part 3

The Matrix.
The PM5D matrix has 8 outputs and is fed by the 24 mix buses and the two Stereo Master buses. You can pair matrixes
just like mixes.
The Matrix window shows the mas-
ter output level faders and the bars
show the levels of the 24 Mix buses
and two Stereo Meters feeding into
that Matrix channel. You can drag
the bars across from this window
but it’s tricky without a very large
screen.
For more accurate setting of levels
use the Selected Channel window.
“THE EXAMPLES” use the matrix for their spare in-ear monitor systems;
If there is a failure of a band member’s IEM system then their mix can be sent to the spare;
1) Turn on MATRIX 1 and 2 and pair them by pressing the heart symbol in the SEL channel window.
2) Turn [ON] and up the matrix send to nominal by clicking and dragging round the knob image,
3) If a spare IEM pack is connected to the matrix output it can now be used for any IEM user who's own system fails.
Quickly double press the SEL key of the mix with the failed pack and turn up the mix to matrix with the matrix
encoder (or use Studio Manager if it is on-line.), the mix will now be available in the spare pack.
Graphic equalizers, GEQ.
PM5D has 12 dedicated internal graphic equalizers and a further 8 that can be added by utilising the FX units. These are
31 band, 1/3 octave GEQ with a choice of cut / boost depths and a spectrum analysis of what is passing through them.
Flex-15 type GEQs are not available on PM5D. The GEQs are insertable on any input or output channel. Patching and
setup of the GEQs can be done in Studio Manager.
To operate or patch a GEQ, open the GEQ Editor window.
There are two views available, both can contain any of the
GEQs. To patch the GEQ click on [NONE] and select a
channel to insert the device into.
When a GEQ is inserted the channel insert point is auto-
matically switched on. But note the GEQ is not on (in
bypass).
