■ PM5000 Overview (page 10) The names and functions of the various sections of the console are broadly described in the context of the console as a whole. Please read this section before continuing on to the details. This section explains the console’s overall internal signal flow and how it relates to external equipment.
The basic hardware divisions are “modules.” For example, all of the console’s input modules make up the “input channel section.” Each input channel is made up of an “EQ block,” a “fader block,” and others. In the PM5000 each input channel is made up of two separate hardware components: an “input channel module”...

In this case the PM5000 will effectively on its own, but it does provide some versatile function as the master console, there is no need to use the utility expansion capabilities. In this section we’ll describe how mode to set the receive parameters.
In order to use phantom power, the rear-panel [+48V MASTER] switch must be turned on. The [+48V MASTER ON] indicator on the left side of the meter bridge will light when the master phantom power switch is on. 2 [PAD] Switch When this switch is engaged a 26-db pad is inserted at the channel’s input to compensate for high-level source...

In such cases it is useful to provide a center channel, the output level of which will be adjusted to reinforce the stereo image and provide more effective coverage.
The channel faders determine the level of the channel signal sent to the console’s master buses, and are of primary importance in setting up the balance between the various channels in the mix. The channel faders can also be assigned to specific VCA and mute groups for group level and mute control.
Input Channel Section Channel Grouping This section will describe how channels can be assigned to VCA and mute groups. VCA Master Section Mute Master Switches VCA Grouping Assigning VCA and Mute Groups The PM5000 provides two methods of “grouping” input...

Press the ASSIGN MODE [VCA] key to initiate the assignment procedure (the indicator will flash). Engage a VCA master [CUE] switch to specify the VCA master to which a channel or multiple channels are to be assigned. The [CUE] switch will flash. If any input channels are already assigned to the selected VCA master, their corresponding VCA indicators will flash.

Press the ASSIGN MODE [MUTE] key to initiate the assignment procedure (the indicator will flash). Engage a mute master ([1] ~ [8]) switch to specify the muter master to which a channel or multiple channels are to be assigned. The mute master switch will flash. If any input channels are already assigned to the selected mute master, their corresponding MUTE indicators will flash.
The [VCA MUTE] switches function in a slightly different way than the mute master switches. When a [VCA MUTE] switch is engaged the effect is the same as turning that VCA fader all the way down to -∞. The mute master switches, on the other hand, disengage the channel [ON]...

Module The master output section is made up of modules housing the masters for 12 stereo aux buses, 8 G/A (group/aux) buses, a stereo bus, and a mono bus. Both the stereo aux and G/A master modules combine pairs of adjacent masters –...
In the same was as the input channel modules, the only real difference between the stereo aux, G/A, stereo, and mono masters is whether they are mono or stereo. The basic routing is the same for all signals, as summarized in the diagrams below.
Since the basic signal routing is common to the various master modules, all modules also feature many of the same controls. It is the differences that, in a sense, define the character of each module type. The stereo and mono masters have completely independent sets of controls, while the stereo aux and G/A masters each combine two pairs of channels with two identical sets of controls.

The stereo master controls on the left side of the module correspond approximately to one half of the controls on a stereo aux module (i.e. the controls for one stereo pair). For maximum convenience in practical applications, however, independent [TB/OSC] switches are provided for the left and right channels so that the talkback or oscillator signal can be applied independently to one channel or the other, or to both if required.
The matrix send section is located at the top of the console’s master out section. From the hardware standpoint it is a “matrix send block” fed by the outputs of the various master modules, but from an operational perspective it is a separate section to which the signals from the master modules are assigned via their respective [TO MATRIX] switches.
Page 38
MONO The level and balance of signals sent from the mono masters (group/ aux, mono) a stereo matrix can be adjusted via the inner and outer controls, respectively. Stereo signals from stereo masters (stereo aux, stereo) sent to a mono matrix are internally mixed to mono at the matrix input and then routed to the appropriate mono matrix bus.
(ST MATRIX 1 ~ 4) and mono matrices (MATRIX 1 ~ 8). Since the only function of this section is to control output of the signals from each matrix bus its control complement is quite simple, with no visible difference between the stereo and mono matrices (the L and R channels of stereo matrices are controlled simultaneously).
TB bus, while the talkback section can be used to send the audio signal from the talkback mic via the TB bus. The [TB/OSC] switches provided on each master and matrix bus allow the talback/oscillator signal to be routed as required.

Only channels 1 and 5 can be sent to the MONITOR outputs It is thus possible to monitor the PFL or AFL signal from each input channel, but a considerable shift in level may occur when switching from one to the other. Cue trim controls are provided to compensate for this: the [INPUT CUE TRIM] adjusts the PFL cue signal level while the [VCA CUE TRIM] control adjusts the AFL cue signal level.
Page 45
NOT E All active [CUE] switches will be disengaged when switching between the MIX CUE and LAST CUE modes. A neat “trick” to disengage all cues at once, therefore, is to engage and then immediately disengage the [LAST CUE] switch.
In the PM5000 and most other sound-reinforcement consoles, however, “CUE” is a signal sent to the operator’s monitor speakers while “SOLO” is a signal sent to the speakers fed by the console’s master or matrix outs. Since solo monitoring in the PM5000 is handled in essentially the same way as cue monitoring, the term “cue/solo function”...
The solo mode can be activated by holding the [SOLO MODE] switch on the meter bridge for more than two seconds – the [SOLO MODE] switch will flash. For reasons why you might not be able to switch to the solo mode, see page 66. Recorder...

Digital Control Section Digital Control Section Control Functions The digital control section includes the majority of functions used for digital control of the PM5000 scene memory and utility features.
When the PM5000 power is turned on the last panel setup before it was turned off is automatically recalled (scene memory “000” ! MONITOR DELAY Indicator will be recalled the first time the power is turned on after the console is initially shipped). This indicator will light when the PM5000’s digital delay has been applied to the monitor outputs via the corresponding utility function (page 68).
Overview A “scene” is a set of panel settings stored in one of the PM5000’s 1,000 internal scene memories (000 ~ 999). Any stored scene can be instantly recalled at any time for fast efficient changes. The first 10 scene memories (000 ~ 009) contain preset data for common basic setups.
N OTE When a scene containing a fade time setting is recalled, “FADE” will appear on the message display while the scene fade is in progress (unless another message is being displayed at the same time).
RECALL switches can also be used for direct scene recall (page 71). Settings cannot be stored in protected scenes. If the protect function is active, it must be turned off before new data can be stored in the scene (page 62). N OTE Normally the channel and VCA faders will physically move to the recalled settings via the console’s motor drive system.
