How to Use This Manual
If you are an engineer or technician who is familiar
with sound system design, much of this manual will
serve as a review for you. The basic features are
presented in the “BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS” section. Check this and the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section, and you will see most of what you
need to know. The balance of this manual provides
background information for better utilization of the
console and auxiliary equipment.
If you would like to know more about AC power
distribution and safety, grounding, balanced versus
unbalanced cables, direct boxes, and so forth, this
information is also presented. Check the TABLE OF
CONTENTS.
There are internal preset switches within the
console which can be configured to change the func-
tions and/or signal paths in certain circuits. Refer to
the OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS section for details.
Terminology and
Typographic Conventions
Generally, where we refer to a particular control or
function as it is actually labeled on the console, we
will use all upper case type. That is, if we refer to an
input channel’s gain control, we may print “the input
GAIN control.” On the other hand, if the feature is not
labeled, we will use upper case type only on the first
letter; for example, “observe there is no identification
of the input Fader.” If the front panel label is incom-
plete or ambiguous, we may augment it. For example,
the input channel pushbutton switches labeled “1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8” may be accompanied by the parenthetic
reference “(group bus assign)“.
Warning: To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose this appliance
to rain or moisture.
There are eight groups (or subgroups, depending
on your linguistic preference). The group faders are
known as “Group Master Faders”. Their function is to
control the level on the eight “Group Mixing Busses.
The eight group busses are different and distinct from
the eight “Auxiliary Mixing Busses. The Stereo Fader
is actually a pair of closely spaced faders (L and R);
when we refer to the general function, we use the
term “Stereo Fader,” but if the availability of separate
left and right control is important, we may use the
plural “Stereo Faders.”
Particularly important information is distin-
guished in this manual by the following notations:
NOTE: A NOTE provides key information to
make procedures or functions clearer or easier.
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates
special procedures or guidelines
that must be observed to avoid dam-
age to the console or related equip-
ment, or to avoid an undesirable
result while using the console.
WARNING: A WARNING indicates
special procedures or guidelines
that must be observed to avoid in-
jury to the operator or others using
or exposed to the console or related
equipment.
In the BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
section of this manual, each feature is provided with a
numerical reference. Elsewhere, if we are referring to
that feature, we may cite the reference number in
square brackets for clarity. For example, on the input
module, the fourth control to be described is the PAN
pot. In other places on the console there are other
PAN pots. For clarity, then, if we are discussing this
particular input PAN pot, we will describe it like this:
"the PAN pot [2]". Now, here’s a real warning that
Underwriters Laboratories says we have to print:

Introduction

Introduction
The PM4000 is a professional audio mixing console
with the kind of flexibility, performance and reliability
for which Yamaha has earned a worldwide reputation.
It picks up where the famous PM3000 left off, with still
more functions, a higher level of performance, and a
greater degree of versatility than ever before. The
console now comes with both mono and stereo input
modules, and you can determine the complement of
each type of module in your unit at the time you order
it, or you can later swap modules in the field (between
shows if need be).
The console is available with 24, 32, 40 or 48 input
positions (24 channel versions are available in the
U.S.A. only on special order). However, if fully config-
ured with stereo input modules, the actual number of
input
sources
is
substantially higher (the mix of mono
and stereo modules can add up to no more than 64 in-
put channels per mainframe, as limited by power
supply capacity). There are eight VCA (Voltage Con-
trolled Amplifier) Master Faders which can be assigned
to control any combination of input channels (see
Section 7 for a discussion of VCAs). In addition, there
are eight group mixing busses, as well as a stereo
mixing bus, to which any of the input channels can be-
assigned. There are also eight monaural auxiliary
mixing busses and two pair of stereo auxiliary mixing
busses to which each input channel may be assigned by
means of sealed PRE/OFF/POST switches and Send
Level controls. The stereo aux busses may be switched
to dual mono busses, for a total of twelve busses that
can be used to augment the eight groups plus the stereo
bus for a total of 22 audio mixing busses, or they may be
used for a combination of foldback send (stage monitor),
effects send and remote mixes.
Input channel signals may be assigned directly to the
stereo bus, or assignment can be made via the Group
Masters. Thus, the console can function in a sub-
grouped mode with a stereo "grand master" fader, or it
can function with independent stereo and multi-channel
output mixes.
The PM4000 inputs are differentially balanced, and
are equipped with a 30 dB attenuation PAD plus a
continuously variable 50 dB range GAIN trim control so
that literally any mic or line level signal can be accom-
modated with channel faders set at nominal level.
Optional input transformers may be installed internally
on a channel-by-channel basis when extra grounding
isolation is required. While the console has ample
headroom throughout, it is always possible to incor-
rectly set controls. For this reason, the PM4000 is
equipped with level detection at several stages. Input
LED meters and "PEAK" LEDs are provided. The latter
not only monitor the input preamp level, they check for
overboost in the EQ section. too. Metering can be front-
panel switched to pre or post fader (actually, pre/post
VCA). Finally, if the mixed levels on the group, auxil-
iary, stereo, matrix or cue busses adds up to be too high,
a “PEAK” LED in the output meters will flash on to
warn of the impending danger of clipping.
Naturally, the PM4000 is equipped with a Mix
Matrix, the feature Yamaha pioneered in professional
audio consoles. The PM4000 Mix Matrix is an 11x8
configuration. That is, there are 11 possible sources that
can be mixed together into one output. Those 11 sources
can be mixed together eight different ways on eight
different modules. Each matrix channel accepts a direct
sub input from a rear panel connector, plus signals from
the stereo bus (L&R) and the eight subgroups (pre or
post master fader, depending on internal preset
switches). These 11 sources all go through a MATRIX
MASTER control and an on/off switch to a discrete rear
panel output. The matrix can save a tremendous
amount of time and effort when you want to set up
stage monitor mixes from the subgroups, when you
want to create different speaker mixes for different
zones of the house, to feed local and remote programs
simultaneously, to make mono and stereo mixes from
the same subgroups, and so on. In fact, if the matrix is
set to pick up the subgroups ahead of the Group Master
Faders, then the subgroups can be mixed onto the
stereo bus with one mix, and completely independent
mono or stereo mixes can be achieved from the same
subgroups via the matrix.
The PM4000 has a VCA grouping system which is
separate from the audio grouping. Eight "VCA GROUP"
switches next to each channel fader enable that channel
to be assigned so it is controlled by one or more of the
VCA Master Faders. When multiple input channels are
assigned to a given VCA bus, those channels output
levels can be raised or lowered by the single VCA
Master Fader. Consider how this differs from the
conventional groups. When multiple input channels are
assigned to one of the eight group (audio) mixing
busses, those channels’ combined signals can be raised
or lowered in level with the Group Master Fader. The
audio result is the same as though the VCA Masters
were used... with one exception; if signal processing of
multiple inputs is required, it is necessary to run that
Page 1-1
combined signal through a single bus, which is why full-length
Group Master Faders are provided on the PM4000. However,
when the VCA Master Faders are used, more than one VCA
Master can combine to alter the level of a single input channel.
What’s more, the VCA Master Fader, because it affects the input
channel directly, can also alter that channel’s post-Fader output
to any of the eight auxiliary mixing busses, something not
possible with the conventional Group Master Faders. Because
the VCA Master levels are voltage controlled, the PM4000 can be
automated, at least to the extent of controlling group levels. A
rear panel multi-pin connector can be used for this purpose.
These VCAs are sonically improved, and to insure reliable
operation, all bus, VCA group, and mute group assignments are
via proven latching switches; Yamaha has avoided C-MOS
switching and “glue-logic” for these vital functions.
The MASTER MUTE function facilitates scene changes and
complex cues. Each input channel has eight MUTE assign
switches. These permit the channel’s on/off function to be re-
motely controlled by the eight MASTER MUTE switches. Once a
channel is switched on locally, it can be muted (turned off) or
unmuted (turned on) if it is assigned to one or more of the mute
groups. This permits multiple channels to be silenced or acti-
vated all at once, which expedites live sound mixing, band
personnel or instrument changes, theatrical scene changes, and
so forth. If, however, it is imperative that a certain channel never
be inadvertently muted, or that muting temporarily be overrid-
den, the input channel’s MUTE SAFE switch can be engaged.
Muting can also be controlled remotely, via a rear panel connec-
tor, so automation here, too, is possible. In addition to the master
muting function, the VCA master faders have mute switches
which mute the corresponding VCA group (or at least prevent the
master from altering input levels); this provides another, differ-
ent layer of master control of levels to facilitate tracking program
changes with the mix.
In recognition of the increasing trend toward full-function
auxiliary return, the PM4000 relies upon full-capability input
modules for aux returns. That's why the console is available with
up to 48 input channels, including stereo inputs. For added
flexibility, the INSERT in jack(s) on any input module can be
used for aux return purposes, and then the channels INSERT
ON switch can pick up the aux return instead of any signal
which may remain connected to the main channel input(s). This
allows a given channel to perform different functions at different
times without patching cables.
An excellent feature of the PM4000 is its extensive cue and
solo capability. There is a CUE/SOLO switch on every input
channel and on the aux returns, and a CUE switch on every
auxiliary send, the group outputs, the matrix outputs and the
Figure 1-1. PM4000 Modules (Left-to-Right):
Monaural Input (24, 32, 40 or 48 in console), Stereo
Input (at least 4 per console), Master, Stereo Master,
Talkback, and Monitor
Page 1-2
stereo master output. Cue replaces the signal in the
headphones and the stereo cue XLR outputs with only
those sources whose CUE switches are engaged.
The CUE system has input priority so that the
operator may normally monitor the cue signal from the
stereo bus or the group busses, and can instantly check
one or more channel or aux return inputs without
having to first release the bus CUE switches. This
capability is great for troubleshooting, previewing a
channel before applying it to the mix, or “touching up”
the EQ on a channel during a performance. For use
ahead of a live show, the console may be placed in solo
mode. In this mode, only the input channel(s) whose
CUE/SOLO switch is engaged will feed the console’s
outputs, and all other input channels will be muted. If
the stereo input modules are used for returns, recessed
switches in these modules can be set so returns will not
be muted and any effects applicable to the soloed input
will be heard. Annunciator lights signal the operator
whether the console is in solo or cue mode, and whether
any CUE or CUE/SOLO switch is engaged. Two head-
phone jacks enable a pair of console operators (or an
engineer and producer) to work side-by side on complex
projects.
The PM4000 has an excellent talkback system plus
a useful test oscillator. An XLR input (with phantom
power) can be set to accept any microphone or line level
input, and is activated with the TALKBACK switch.
That signal can be slated to any of the eight group
mixing busses, the eight aux send mixing busses, the
two stereo aux busses, the stereo mixing bus, and to a
rear panel XLR TB output. The test oscillator can be set
to 100 Hz, 1 kHz or 10 kHz fixed frequencies, or can be
swept from 0.2 to 2x the set frequency, and its output
level is adjustable. Pink noise may be selected, too. The
oscillator can be slated to the same busses as the
talkback, and also has its own rear panel output connec-
tor so the signal can be routed to other equipment or
other console inputs for testing.
Extensive metering is provided with a total of 14 VU
meters on the 24 and 32 channel versions, or 18 VU
meters on the 40 and 48 channel versions (each with a
peak LED). Several of these meters can be switched to
monitor alternate busses, so the metering gives you a
comprehensive view of signal levels in your system.
PM4000 electronic performance is everything you’d
expect from the people who developed the PM3000. It is
even more advanced, with lower noise levels than ever.
Wide headroom throughout, exceptionally low distor-
tion, and quiet controls are the hallmark of this top
quality mixing console. The specifications are honest
and conservative. The performance is audibly superb.
Physically, the PM4000 is as appealing as it is
electronically. An all new chassis design with aircraft-
style bracing offers increased strength to sustain
repeated trips on the road. A gray finish and subtly
color coded controls set the backdrop for the PM4000’s
hundreds of illuminated switches and indicators.
Multiple rear-mounted cooling fans reduce internal
temperatures to prolong component life.*
The highly advanced PM4000, with its many inter-
nally switchable functions, is as close to a custom
console as you can get... while retaining all the value
and reliability of an off-the-shelf Yamaha console. While
its numerous internal and front panel functions may at
first intimidate the casual console operator, the PM4000
is actually a very straightforward console to use.
Anyone who has used the PM3000, or even a PM2000,
should immediately feel comfortable with the PM4000.
Take a while to study the panel, read the descriptions in
this manual, and you’ll find operating this console is
very natural... and satisfying because you can make it
do the job the way you need it done.
*Heat is generated by electronic components, and is the
enemy of them. In some segments of the. industry (such
as Las Vegas showrooms), it has been customary to leave
equipment switched on 24 hours. This tradition grew out
of the days when vacuum tube equipment was prevalent,
and vacuum tubes did last longer
if they remained on
rather than being switched. Solid state devices used in
modern mixing consoles are less susceptible to damage
from switching, but the heat build up sustained in
continuous 24 hour operation will shorten component
life. Therefore, it’s a good idea to turn off your equipment
when it is not in use (unless you are in a very humid
environment where the heat
of operation wards off
corrosion-causing, short-circuit-promoting moisture
condensation). While the PM4000 remains cooler than
its predecessors, thanks to cooling
fans, it remains a
prudent practice to shut it off when it is not being used.

Brief Operating Instruction
This locking switch assigns the channel output
directly to the stereo bus. An LED in the switch
turns on when the signal is assigned to the stereo
bus. If you want the cleanest, quietest stereo mix,
create it by assigning inputs directly to the stereo
bus with this switch rather than running signal
to group busses and then mixing the groups down
to stereo.
1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (ASSIGN switches)
These locking switches assign the channel output
to group mixing busses 1 through 8. An LED
indicator in each switch turns on when the signal
is assigned to the bus.
2. PAN (switch & rotary control)
The locking PAN switch activates the PAN pot so
you can use it to position signal between any odd-
numbered and even-numbered group mixing
busses (provided the corresponding ASSIGN
switches are engaged). This lets you create up to
four additional stereo mixes. An LED in the
switch turns on when the PAN switch is engaged.
Center position applies 3 dB less signal to each
bus than the level obtained with full left or right
assignment so that the combined stereo signal
across a given pair of busses adds up to constant
power at all PAN pot positions.

Features
NOTE: Features are numbered to correspond with the
numbers on these module drawings. In the case of the
input modules, where the standard monaural module
and stereo modules are similar, we have used the same
feature number where the features are identical. Where
the features are not identical, we have used an “S” suffix.
For example, feature [4] is the 48V phantom power
switch in both the monaural and the stereo input
modules, but the PAN switch and pot [2] on the stan-
dard input module is not the same as the BAL/PAN
switch, and the concentric selector switch and pot [2S]
on the stereo input module.
2.1.1
The Standard Monaural Input Module
4. +48V
This switch turns phantom power on and off at
the channel’s XLR input connector. Power can be
turned on, however, only if the MASTER PHAN-
Page 2-1
TOM POWER switch is on. An LED in the switch
turns on when phantom power is being applied to
the channel input connector.
When both the Master and this switch are on,
+48 volts is applied to both pins 2 & 3 of the
channel input XLR connector for remote power-
ing of condenser microphones. Although phantom
power will not harm most dynamic and other
non-phantom powered microphones or line-level
devices, connection of an unbalanced source to
the channel input could partially short the
console’s phantom supply, cause undue loading,
and induce hum. Therefore, it is a good practice
to turn off the channel’s phantom power unless it
is actually in use.
NOTE: The console's microphone power supply is not
intended for A-B powered microphones. External sup-
plies may be used with these devices, in which case the
console’s phantom power should be turned OFF on the
appropriate channels. The optional input transformers,
if installed, do not affect phantom power operation.
5. GAIN
This rotary knob provides 50 dB of continuously
variable adjustment for the input preamplifier
gain. A setting of -70 (full clockwise rotation)
provides maximum gain for low-level mic inputs,
whereas a setting of -20 provides minimum gain
for low-level line inputs or “hot” mics. These
settings provide 30 dB less overall gain when 30
dB pad is engaged [6].
6. 30 dB (pad switch)
Engaging this pushbutton switch attenuates the
signal 30 dB and turns on an LED in the switch.
The PAD should be used in conjunction with the
GAIN control to obtain the precise channel
sensitivity necessary for a given source. If you’re
not sure whether an input is high line level or
mic level, begin with the pad engaged, and the
GAIN control at -20 (+10) position. Then rotate
the GAIN control clockwise. If you still don’t get
enough level, or if the signal is noisy with a lot of
gain, then turn down the GAIN, disengage the
pad and reset the GAIN control as necessary.
NOTE: By adjusting the GAIN control, you may be able
to get the same overall level with or without the pad
engaged. Listen for noise and distortion, though; if the
signal is noisy, don’t use the pad. If there is a lot of
distortion, use the pad.

7. PEAK
This red LED turns on to indicate when the
signal present after the channel preamp is too
high in level. The LED triggers 3 dB below
clipping, and should therefore flash on only
occasionally.
This indicator measures signal from the XLR or
from the INSERT IN jack, whichever is active, as
well as after the equalizer. If necessary, use the
PAD or decrease the GAIN setting to prevent the
LED from remaining on any longer than momen-
tarily; otherwise excessive distortion and insuffi-
cient fader travel will result.
8. Ø (Phase)
This switch reverses the polarity of pins 2 and 3
of the channel’s XLR input connector. In normal
position (switch button up), pin 2 is the signal
high conductor, and in reverse position (switch
engaged), pin 3 is high. An LED in the switch is
illuminated when polarity is reversed.
This eliminates the need to rewire connectors or
use adapters for out-of-phase (reversed polarity)
audio sources. Sometimes intentional polarity
reversal can be helpful in canceling leakage from
adjacent microphones, or in creating electro-
acoustic special effects by mixing together out-of-
phase signals from mics picking up the same
sound source.
EQUALIZER
The input channel equalizer is divided into four
bands, each with sweepable filter frequencies.
The high and low bands may be switched for a
peaking or shelving type curve, whereas the high-
mid and low-mid bands are of the peaking type.
All four bands have adjustable Q, providing fully
parametric type EQ. The level (gain) is adjustable
over a range of 15 dB boost and 15 dB cut in each
band.
9. HIGH (Peak/Shelf)
This locking switch selects peaking type EQ
(switch out) or shelving type EQ (switch en-
gaged). When the switch is engaged (shelving
mode), the adjacent Q control is not operational.
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.

Channel EQ “Q” Characteristics
1 ~ 20 kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 1,000 and 20,000 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
10. HIGH-MID
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent

0.4 ~ 8 kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 400 Hz and 8,000 Hz.

Q
13. EQ (In/Out switch)
This locking switch activates the channel EQ or
bypasses it completely. The EQ is active when the
switch is engaged (and the LED in it is on). Bypass
allows for A-B comparison, and absolutely mini-
mum signal degradation when EQ is not needed.
14.
HPF (H.P. filter in/out switch and control)
This locking switch activates the input channel
HIGH PASS FILTER or bypasses it. The filter is
active when the switch is engaged (and the LED in
it is on). This filter bypass function is independent
of the EQ section, which has its own bypass switch.
20 ~ 400Hz
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
80 Hz ~ 1.6kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 80 Hz and 1,600 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
12. LO (Peak/Shelf)
This locking switch selects peaking type EQ
(switch out) or shelving type EQ (switch en-
gaged). When the switch is engaged (shelving
mode), the adjacent Q control is not operational.
Q
This rotary control sweeps the cutoff frequency of a
high pass filter (or "low cut" filter) from 20 Hz to
400
Hz. The filter slope is 12 dB per octave.
Typical applications including cutting wind noise,
vocal "P" pops, stage rumble, and low frequency
leakage from adjacent instruments. You can use
higher frequency settings to reduce leakage into
mics that are primarily handling high-frequency
sources. It is a good practice to use the filter to
protect woofers from unnecessary over-excursion
due to the presence of unneeded low frequency or
sub-sonic components, especially if a microphone is
dropped or kicked. Bypass the filter (switch up)
only when you want very low frequencies, as with
an organ, drum, bass guitar, and so forth.
15. INSERT PRE
The insert in point is normally after the HPF and
equalizer. Engaging this switch moves the insert
point between the equalizer (pre-EQ) and the
HPF. The LED in the switch is on when the
insert point is pre EQ.
16. INSERT ON
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
30 Hz ~ 600 Hz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 30 and 600 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
This locking switch activates the channel’s
INSERT IN jack, from which it applies signal to
the rest of the channel (see item [15] also). The
INSERT OUT jack is always “live,” and this
switch does not affect it. The primary use of this
switch is to select or de-select any signal proces-
sor or independent line input source which may
be plugged into INSERT IN. When the switch is
engaged, making the Insert In jack “live,” the
LED in the stitch is on.
If there is nothing plugged into the INSERT IN
jack, this switch has no effect.
Page 2-3
NOTE: PM3000 users will notice there is no EQ CLIP
indicator. Clipping at this stage can occur even though
the input signal is not clipping, due to boost (gain)
applied with the EQ circuitry. In the PM4000, clipping
in the equalizer is detected and shown on the PEAK
indicator [7] adjacent to the GAIN control.
Figure 2-1b. PM4000 Standard Input Module
(middle portion of module)
NOTE: A signal processor (effects device) can be set up
before it is needed, its levels adjusted using the always
active INSERT OUT signal, and then the processor can
be inserted on cue in the channel’s signal path by
pressing this switch.
17. AUX 1 - 8 (Send level & Pre/Off/Post switches)
There are 8 rotary AUX send level controls with
concentric PRE/OFF/POST switches. The switch
mutes (turns off) the send, or derives signal
before (PRE) or after (POST) the channel fader
and equalizer. The inner rotary control deter-
mines how much of the selected signal source is
applied to the correspondingly numbered auxil-
Page 2-4
iary mixing bus. When the switch is in the center
(OFF) position, no signal is applied to the auxil-
iary bus.
NOTE: In some applications, it is preferable to have the
PRE position be Pre-Fader & Post-EQ rather than Pre-
Fader & Pre EQ. The PM4000 is equipped with internal
switches that make it easy to change the “Pre” of each
AUX send in this manner. This functional modification
can be performed on a channel-by-channel basis, and for
any or all AUX sends within each channel. Refer to the
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS section of this manual for
additional information.
NOTE: All eight aux sends perform identical functions,
as shipped. Color coding helps associate the channel
send controls with the Aux Master LEVEL controls. If
you reset the “Pre” function for the sends of some busses,
or on some channels, it is a good idea to attach a note to
the console indicating how you have set it up.
CAUTION: Any input module may be used
as an auxiliary return. If a module is used
in this way, DO NOT assign the return to
the same auxiliary bus whose output is
feeding the signal processor which is
providing the return signal. This will
almost certainly cause feedback which
can damage circuits and/or loudspeakers.
This caution applies to Aux busses 1
through 8, and to the stereo aux busses.
18. AUX ST 1
These are two pair of concentric level controls
and switches. Depending on how you set the
outer switch on the right-hand control, they can
function as either an independent pair of Aux
sends, similar to the eight individual AUX sends,
or they can function as a single stereo Aux send
with level and balance controls.
The outer PRE/OFF/POST switch on the left-
hand control set determines whether the send
is off, derives signal before the fader and
equalizer, of after them (just as with the
individual aux sends). This function affects
both “sides” of the AUX ST 1 output, whether
used for stereo or dual mono sends.
The outer switch on the right-hand control set
determines whether AUX ST 1 functions as a
stereo send (switch set to the left “PAN” posi-
tion) or as a pair of mono sends (switch set to
the right “LEVEL R” position).
When the send is set for stereo mode, the inner
rotary control on the left determines the overall
LEVEL applied to the Stereo 1 L & R auxiliary
mixing buses, and the inner rotary control on
the right serves to PAN that signal between the
L & R sides of that stereo pair.
When the send is set for dual mono mode, the
inner rotary control on the left sets the LEVEL
applied to the AUX ST L bus (i.e., LEVEL-L),
and the inner rotary control on the right sets
the LEVEL applied to the AUX ST R bus (i.e.,
LEVEL-R).
19. AUX ST 2
These two pair of concentric controls and
switches function just like AUX ST 1, but affect
the #2 auxiliary stereo bus pair.
Note: By setting AUX ST 1 and AUX ST 2 to dual mono
mode, you have a total of 12 independent auxiliary
mixing busses.
20. MT PRE (switch) and level meter
The channel level meter consists of 6 LEDs that
display signal levels from
-20
dB u to +6 dBu,
plus PEAK (3 dB below clipping). The meter
normally indicates the level after the EQ and the
channel fader. Engaging the METER PRE switch
causes the meter to indicate level ahead of the
fader. An LED in the switch is illuminated when
the meter is displaying pre-fader level.
21. ON switch (Channel On)
Pressing this switch turns the input channel ON,
which means the channel output is potentially
available to the 8 group mixing busses, the stereo
bus, the 8 auxiliary mixing busses, and the two
pair of stereo aux mixing busses. Engaging the
switch does not necessarily mean the switch will
be illuminated or that the channel will turn on;
muting logic may be dictating that the channel
remain off. When the channel is OFF, the feed to
the VU meter is also off, although the signal may
still be previewed with the CUE/SOLO switch
[26].
Figure 2-1c. PM4000 Standard Input Module
(lower portion of module)
22. VCA GROUP (Assign 1 - 8)
Engaging any of these 8 locking switches enables
the corresponding VCA GROUP MASTER
FADER(s) to also control the output level of this
channel. When a VCA switch is engaged, the
LED in the switch turns on.
CAUTION: If you assign (or deassign) an
input channel to a VCA group during a
performance, the channel gain will jump
up or down unless the corresponding VCA
MASTER Fader is set precisely to the
nominal position (green LED "NOMINAL"
LED illuminated).
23. MUTE (Assign 1 - 8)
Engaging any of these 8 locking switches enables
the corresponding Group MUTE MASTER
switch(es) to “kill” (turn off’) this channel. An
exception exists when the channel MUTE SAFE
switch [24] is engaged, in which case these MUTE
switches can have no effect. When a MUTE switch
is engaged, the LED in the switch turns on.
24. S (Mute safe)
The LED in this locking switch is illuminated
when the switch is engaged. When MUTE SAFE
is on, it overrides any combination of MASTER
MUTE and channel MUTE switch settings, and
Page 2-5
prevents the channel from being muted. Engag-
ing this switch ensures the channel will always
be on so long as the channel ON switch is also
engaged.
25. FADER
This long-throw fader sets the level applied to the
8 group mixing busses, and the stereo bus. It also
affects any auxiliary feeds which are set to post-
fader position. The Fader does not pass audio, but
instead controls a VCA through which the audio
signal flows. The channel level may, therefore,
also be controlled remotely from the 8 VCA
Master Faders [47] or the VCA/MUTE CON-
TROL connector [129] if one or more of the VCA
GROUP Assign switches [22] is engaged.
26. CUE/SOLO
The function of this switch on each input channel
will depend on the setting of the console’s Master
SOLO MODE switch [48].
If the console is set to the SOLO MODE, then
pressing this switch mutes all other input chan-
nels, and only the input channel(s) whose CUE/
SOLO switch is engaged will feed the console
outputs. (This is also known as “solo in place.“)
If the console is set to the CUE MODE, the
console then has a dual-priority cue system,
designed to give the engineer maximum control
and speed when it is most important. In this
mode, pressing the channel CUE/SOLO switch
causes the channel signal to replace any master
signal in the Cue output and the Phones output.
The engineer can readily select any of 27 output
mixes (Group 1-8, Matrix 1-8, Aux Send 1-8, Aux
Stereo 1 and 2, or Stereo L & R) by pressing the
corresponding CUE switches. In most cases, once
the individual output mixes have been estab-
lished, the engineer will want to listen to the
“most important output mix” during the perfor-
mance, possibly the main house feed or the vocal
group. However, should feedback occur, or should
any other condition require attention, the
PM4000 enables the engineer to instantly check
any input channel or channels by pressing their
CUE/SOLO switch(es). The input whose CUE
switch is engaged then automatically replaces the
selected output mix in the headphone and cue
outputs. The engineer can make the necessary
adjustment, and then return to monitoring the
original output mix simply by releasing the input
CUE/SOLO switch.
Pressing the CUE/SOLO switch part-way down
causes momentary contact; pressing it further
locks it down. In either case, the LED in the
switch is illuminated when the channel is being
cue’d or soloed. Although the cue signal is not
affected by the Fader or ON/off switch, it is
affected by the Input PAD, GAIN control, Filter,
channel EQ, and anything connected between the
channel’s INSERT IN and OUT jacks (if the
INSERT switch is engaged).
NOTE: Since the console operator may normally be
listening to the stereo bus or one or more group busses by
means of engaging their cue switches, the PM4000 is set
up for input cue priority. As soon as one or more input
channel cue switches are engaged, any bus cue signal
will be replaced by the input cue signal(s). Input priority
is also given to other PM4000 inputs (Aux Return cue),
not just to the input channel cue signals.
Page 2-6
2.1.2. The Stereo Input Module
The PM4000 comes with at least four stereo input
modules, located in near the master section. More of
these stereo modules can be ordered in lieu of the
monaural input modules. Their position in the main-
frame is completely interchangeable with the standard
input modules (see Section 6 for details).
1S. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (ASSIGN switches)
These locking switches assign the channel output
to group mixing busses 1 through 8. The signal is
assigned as follows: the left input signal is routed
to the odd-numbered busses, and the right input
signal to the even-numbered busses. An LED
indicator in each switch turns on when the signal
is assigned to the bus. The relative level assigned
to any adjacent pair of odd and even busses
depends upon the use of the BAL/PAN switch and
control [2S].
NOTE: The stereo input modules in mainframe positions
#3 and #4 have stereo outputs that are permanently
assigned to the ST CH3 and ST CH4 busses. These
busses are routed only to the monitor module, and
permit direct monitoring of these stereo modules. Inter-
nal switches in these stereo modules actually perform the
assignment, and, if desired, you need not assign the
modules’s outputs as shipped from the factory. For that
matter, you can assign stereo modules in any mainframe
position to either the ST CH3 or ST CH4 bus by means
of these on-board selector switches. Moreover, if you do
assign the output to ST CH3 or ST CH4, you may decide
to cut internal jumpers and thereby defeat the module’s
output to any of the Group busses. If you do this, the
Group Assign switches [1S] will have no function,
although BAL/PAN [2S] will affect the feed to the ST
CH3 or ST CH4 bus. Refer to the Optional Functions in
Section 6 of this manual for details.
2S. BAL/PAN (pushbutton switch)
BAL/PAN (rotary control)
ST-L-R-L+R (concentric rotary
signal selector switch)
The locking BAL/PAN switch determines whether
the inner rotary control has any effect on the
signal or not. When the switch is engaged, the
control serves to either balance the stereo signal
between adjacent pairs of group mixing busses or
to pan the mono signal between these pairs of
busses.
The ST-L-R-L+R switch, which is concentric
with the balance/pan control, determines the
Figure 2-2a. PM4000 Stereo Input Module
nature of the signal being fed to the group and
(upper portion of module)
stereo output busses. In ST position, the left
Page 2-7
input is available at odd-numbered busses, and
the right input at even numbered busses (and, of
course, L&R in are available to the L&R stereo
bus). In L position, the right input is deactivated,
and the left input connector is available to all
group busses and the L&R sides of the stereo bus.
Similarly, in R position, the right input is avail-
able to the various busses. In L+R position, the
left and right inputs are combined to mono, and
this mono mix is then available to the various bus
outputs. (Actually, this switch also affects the
signal available to the cue and aux busses, too.)
The LED in the BAL/PAN switch is engaged
when the balance or pan function is active. When
the switch is up, the rotary control has no effect,
and a 3 dB pad is placed in line to all bus out-
puts. For a stereo pair, 3 dB of padding is the
equivalent to placing a pan control at mid posi-
tion, and thus assures that the total power
available from a pair of outputs is equal to the
power that would be available if all the signal
were panned to one output were. It means there
will be no sudden change in level if, with the pan
pot centered, you engage or disengage the BAL/
PAN switch.
3. ST (Stereo)
This locking switch assigns the channel output
directly to the stereo bus. An LED in the switch
turns on when the signal is assigned to the stereo
bus. The left and right inputs will be routed to
the corresponding left and right sides of the
stereo bus only if the adjacent, rotary signal
selector switch [2S] is set to the ST position.
4. +48V
This switch turns phantom power on and off at
the channel’s XLR input connectors. Power can be
turned on, however, only if the MASTER PHAN-
TOM POWER switch is on. An LED in the switch
turns on when phantom power is being applied to
the channel input connector.
When both the Master and this switch are on,
+48 volts is applied to both pins 2 & 3 of the
channel input XLR connectors for remote power-
ing of condenser microphones. Although phantom
power will not harm most dynamic and other
non-phantom powered microphones or line-level
devices, connection of an unbalanced source to
the channel input could partially short the
console’s phantom supply, cause undue loading,
and induce hum. Therefore, it is a good practice
to turn off the channel’s phantom power unless it
is actually in use.
NOTE: The console’s microphone power supply is not
intended for A-B powered microphones. External sup-
plies may be used with these devices, in which case the
console’s phantom power should be turned OFF on the
appropriate channels. The optional input transformers,
if installed, do not affect phantom power operation.
5S. GAIN
This pair of concentric rotary knobs provides
50 dB of continuously variable adjustment for the
left and right input preamplifier gain. A setting
of -70 (full clockwise rotation) provides maximum
gain for low-level mic inputs, whereas a setting of
-20 provides
minimum gain for low-level line
inputs or “hot” mics. These settings provide 30 dB
less overall gain when
30
dB pad is engaged [6].
The two controls are clutched so that you can
adjust gain simultaneously for both inputs, but
you can also reduce the gain of the left input
relative to the right if you need to compensate for
inputs which vary in level. In an “emergency”
where you run short of conventional single-
channel inputs, you can use this split gain control
to accommodate two different sources, one mic-
level (right side) and one line-level (left side). Use
care, however, to avoid crosstalk if you split an
input module in this manner.
6. 30 dB (pad switch)
Engaging this pushbutton switch attenuates the
left and right input signals 30 dB and turns on an
LED in the switch. The PAD should be used in
conjunction with the GAIN controls to obtain the
precise channel sensitivity necessary for a given
source. If you’re not sure whether an input is
high line level or mic level, begin with the pad
engaged, and the GAIN controls at -20 (+10)
position. Then rotate the GAIN controls clock-
wise. If you still don’t get enough level, or if the
signal is noisy with a lot of gain, then turn down
the GAIN, disengage the pad and reset the GAIN
controls as necessary.
NOTE: By adjusting the GAIN controls, you may be able
to get the same overall level with or without the pad
engaged. Listen for noise and distortion, though; if the
signal is noisy, don’t use the pad. If there is a lot of
distortion, use the pad.
7S. L-PEAK-R
Page 2-8
This pair red LED turn on to indicate when the
signal present after the corresponding left and
right preamps is too high in level. The LEDs
trigger 3 dB below clipping, and should therefore
flash on only occasionally.
This indicators measure signal from the XLRs or
from the INSERT IN jacks, whichever are active,
as well as after the equalizer. If necessary, use
the PAD or decrease the GAIN setting to prevent
the LEDs from remaining on any longer than
momentarily; otherwise excessive distortion and
insufficient fader travel will result.
With stereo input sources, listen to ensure the
stereo balance is correct. Then adjust both GAIN
controls together; if you adjust only one of the
concentric GAIN controls to eliminate PEAK
indications, you may eliminate clipping, but you
will also disrupt the stereo program balance.
8S. Ø (Phase)
This switch reverses the polarity of pins 2 and 3
of the channel’s two XLR input connectors. In
normal position (switch button up), pin 2 is the
signal high conductor, and in reverse position
(switch engaged), pin 3 is high. An LED in the
switch is illuminated when polarity is reversed.
This function, as supplied from the factory, may
help reduce feedback. However, if the two sources
feeding a single input channel are reversed in
polarity from one another, this function will not
help you. Therefore, each PM4000 stereo input
module has an optional function that causes the
Ø switch to instead reverse the polarity of only
the left input. The switch is available on the
channel’s circuit board (see the OPTIONAL
FUNCTIONS section of this manual for details).
EQUALIZER
The input channel equalizer is divided into four
bands, each with sweepable filter frequencies.
The high and low bands may be switched for a
peaking or shelving type curve, whereas the high-
mid and low-mid bands are of the peaking type.
All four bands have adjustable Q, providing fully
parametric type EQ. The level (gain) is adjustable
over a range of 15 dB boost and 15 dB cut in each
band. There are actually two equalizers in the
channel, and when you adjust any of these EQ
controls, you are simultaneously affecting the left
and right sides of the channel.
9. HIGH (Peak/Shelf)
This locking switch selects peaking type EQ
(switch out) or shelving type EQ (switch en-
gaged). When the switch is engaged (shelving
mode), the adjacent Q control is not operational.
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
1 ~ 20 kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 1,000 and 20,000 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
10. HIGH-MID
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
0.4 ~ 8 kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 400 Hz and 8,000 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
11. LO-MID
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
80Hz ~ 1.6 kHz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 80 Hz and 1,600 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of the
set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB. A
center detent is provided for unity gain.
12. LO (Peak/Shelf)
This locking switch selects peaking type EQ
(switch out) or shelving type EQ (switch en-
gaged). When the switch is engaged (shelving
mode), the adjacent Q control is not operational.
Q
This rotary control adjusts the Q (the bandwidth)
of this section of the equalizer from a very narrow
band to a very broad band, with a center detent
at a Q of 1.2.
30 Hz ~ 600 Hz
The outer concentric knob sweeps the EQ Fre-
quency between 30 and 600 Hz.
-15 ~ +15 dB
The inner concentric knob adjusts the gain of
the set frequency band by plus or minus 15 dB.
A center detent is provided for unity gain.
