ENGLISH ™ SRM Series Sound Reinforcement Monitor Console ™ ™ Congratulations on the purchase of your SRM Series monitor console. The SRM utilizes the latest in low-noise circuitry and surface mount technology. In addition, Peavey’s exclusive Feedback ® Locating System (FLS ) can be found at each channel and at the two tunable notch filters. The result is a quiet, flexible monitor mixer packed with features. This manual explains those features as they relate to modern applications. Technical spe

MONITOR MASTER SECTION The Monitor Master Section can be divided into the following sub-sections: Patching, Filtering, plus Viewing and Controlling. The Patching section will explain the outputs and inserts found on each Monitor Output. The Filtering section covers the Notch Filter Bank and Low Cut Filters. The LED Meters, Master Monitor Faders, PFL and Wedge utilities are covered in the Viewing and Controlling section. Patching Since you’ll have to patch from the SRM to several combinations of

Filtering Monitor Sends 1 through 8 have a bank of two sweepable notch filters (Hi and Low frequency section) and a Low Cut Filter. Because the majority of feedback problems occur within the monitor system, our advice is that you become very familiar with this feature. Filters, like any other form of equalization, are an aid. They cannot substitute the correct use/placement of high-quality micro- phones and speakers. A Notch Filter is used to single out a problem area within the frequency spec

adjusted into the audible range you would never know. The Low Cut Filter is a 12 dB/oct filter with a roll-off frequency range of 10-350 Hz. Because extremely low frequencies use up amplifier head- room and cause resonant feed-back, it is a good practice to adjust this control to allow the least amount of low frequency energy that is tolerable. If the passive stage sound does not offer enough low-end then you may want to drop back some. It then becomes an issue of your personal prefer- ence. Lis

16. Headphone Output: This stereo jack (TRS) provides the signal to 19 drive stereo headphones. No signal is heard until either AFL (#13) or PFL (#41) is selected on an active Master Monitor output. If both AFL and 18 PFL are selected simultaneously from the same output, the PFL signal 17 will be heard. The stereo jack is wired: Tip=Left, Ring=Right, and Sleeve=Ground. 17. Headphone Level: This control adjusts the level of the Headphone Output (#16). This includes the PFL level when it is

21. Insert: An Insert jack is provided to allow for an external device (i.e., compressor, effects, tuner, etc.) to be placed in the signal path pre EQ. The jack is wired: Tip=Send, Ring=Return, and Sleeve=Ground. A switch in the jack normally connects the Tip and Ring to continue signal flow when the jack is not in use. When a plug 21 is inserted into the jack, the signal chain is broken and the signal must be properly returned. 22 24 22. Pad Switch: The Pad Switch, when activated (down), atten

Channel Filtering/EQ ® The following section will explain the FLS , Low Cut filter, and 4-Band EQ found on each input ® channel of your SRM. We will begin the section with Peavey’s patented FLS (Feedback Locating System) feature. ® ® 26. FLS : The FLS (Feedback Locating System) senses which channel has the highest signal level pre-fader. When the FLS determines which channel has the highest signal level it illuminates the yellow FLS LED for that channel. Since feedback regenerates itself, it o

35. Post Switch(es): Determines which signal will be present on the selected Monitor Send. When the switch is in the “out” position the signal is sent post-EQ/pre-fader. With the switch depressed the signal is sent post-fader. There are two of these switches for each input channel. Each switch is marked (1 - 6 and 7 - 8) to indicate the group of Monitor Outputs that it affects. 36. 9/10 Pan: This control sets the balance of the channel’s signal between Monitor Sends 9 and 10. 36 37.

47. COM/PROG Switch: This determines which material you want to send over the intercom line. It is your option to either speak over the headset mic or send program material from the console. With the switch in the “out” position, the intercom is set up in “COM” mode. In this mode you may press the Talk switch (#43) in order to send spoken material over the intercom line. Press the COM/PROG Switch “in” to send program “PROG” material from the L/R monitor mix of the console. This can be switched b

55. PFL Interconnect: This 1/4" jack is an extension to the PFL bus allowing you to extend the PFL function to another console. Connecting the PFL Interconnect and Monitor Send Aux Inputs to the PFL Interconnect and Send (Send/Return) from each Monitor Send of an identical SRM doubles the consoles input capability while maintaining the PFL capabilities of both boards. See diagram below. The 1/4" jack is wired Tip=PFL signal/Sleeve=PFL control bus. 56. Intercom In/Out: Female XLR (in) and Male
