(17) Mic (XLR) Inputs
XLR balanced inputs optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive input. Because of the wide range
of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +14 dBu can be accommodated.
(18) Line (1/4") Inputs
1/4" balanced (TRS) 10k Ohm impedance input. The tip is the positive input and should be used for unbalanced inputs. It has 20dB less
gain than the XLR input and does not have phantom power available. The Mic and Line inputs should not be used simultaneously.
Stereo inputs are available for channels 3-4 and 5-6.
(19) Gain (Channels 1 & 2)
This control establishes the nominal operating level for the channel. The input gain can be adjusted over a wide range to compensate for
soft voices or very loud drums. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level with the channel level
control (7) set to 12 o'clock. If the Clip LED (5) comes on, try reducing the level.
(20) Stereo Aux Return Jacks
The Aux Return inputs (Left/Mono, Right) feature two 1/4" TRS jacks. These inputs can be used with Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced
or Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors. The Aux Return level is controlled by the Aux Return Level Control (8).
(21) FX Send Jack
The FX Send features a 1/4" TRS Z-balanced jack. This output can be used with a Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced or a Tip, Sleeve (TS)
unbalanced connector. the FX send mix is determined by the amount of signal being sent to the FX bus in each channel (4) and the FX
Master Level (9) control.
(22) Headphone Jack
The Headphone Output jack is a 1/4" TRS (Tip=Left; Ring=Right; Sleeve=Ground) jack. the signal sent to this output is normally the
Left/Right mix. When the Tape/CD to Master button is selected, the Tape/CD input signal is also included.
(23) Control Room Output
The Control Room Outputs feature two 1/4" TRS Z-balanced jacks. These outputs can be used with a Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced
or Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors. The Control Room Outputs Level is adjusted with the Headphone Level Control (11).
(24) Tape/CD Inputs 7/8 PVi8, 11/12 PVi12
The Tape/CD input jacks are designed to accommodate tape, CD/MP3 player or computer sound card output levels. The Tape/CD
inputs can be used as an additional stereo input by engaging the Tape/CD to Mix switch (15). The Tape/CD input can also be used to
monitor the recorder/sound card output without the risk of feedback.
(25) Record Outputs
The Record output jacks can provide a +4dBu output signal to a stereo recording device. The output level is controlled by the combina-
tion of channel level controls (7).
(26) Main Stereo Outputs
The Left/Right Outputs feature two 1/4" TRS Z-balanced jacks. These outputs can be used with a Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced or
Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors. The outputs level is controlled by the Master Mix Level (16) control.
(27) Power Adapter Input
Use to connect the included power supply. Be sure the power supply is connected to the unit before connecting to a power source.
PVi8 and PVi12 use 18VAC, 300mA adapter only.
(28) Power Switch
Depressing the power switch supplies power to the unit.
