Introduction Description The ProMatrix products are designed for sound reinforcement/distribution in multi-room applications. The PM-3180 consists of three independent ampli- fiers, rated at 20, 60 and 100 watts. The PM-3000 is a three channel pre- amplifier unit designed to offer the flexibility for applications with power requirements that exceed the limits of the PM-3180. Both units have a pro- grammable interface that lets you selectively assign priority levels to inputs and custom configu

Introduction Features The ProMatrix units have the following features: 2 Lo-Z balanced Mic inputs (Mic A is female XLR, Mic B is screw termi- nals). Mic B can be configured as a 600-Ohm transformer balanced input for telephone paging applications. Automatic level control for Mic inputs. Choice of microphone precedence activation (VOX, Normally Open, Normally Closed). Phantom power for use with condenser microphones. 4 Aux inputs (RCA unbalanced). Aux Input trim controls to adjust fo

Quick Start This Quick Start section is intended to assist you in getting the ProMatrix unit up and running quickly so that you can become familiar with it. Important: Do not place any objects directly on top of the unit. Leave at least 2 inches of space above the unit to assure prop- er ventilation. When locating the PM-3180, be sure to leave at least 2 inches of space on the right side of the unit to allow for fan exhaust. Install Control Panel The unit is shipped with the control panel d

Quick Start Basic Wiring 1. Temporarily set the AUX INPUT TRIM controls on the rear panel to their full counterclockwise position. Trims will be adjusted later. 2. Be sure that the voltage select switch is set correctly. Connect the power cord to the AC LINE INPUT 3. Connect outputs. For the PM-3000, connect the correct style output (balanced or unbalanced) to the input of the external amp or other signal processing equipment. Refer to page 15 for wiring balanced or unbalanced outputs. For the

Quick Start Factory Programmed Configuration When the ProMatrix unit is first powered up, the factory default settings are loaded. The factory default priority table is listed below. If you want to change any of these priority levels, you will have to use the ASSIGNMENT function in the programming mode. See the Programming section of these instructions (Page 22) to set priority levels. Input Priority Level MIC A 1 MIC B 2 AUX A 3 AUX B 4 (1 = highest, 6 = lowest) AUX C 5 AUX D 6 The micropho

Quick Start To Control Volume Note: Changing any of the volume, bass or treble levels will effect all inputs associated with that amp/channel channel. Turning up the volume for the current amp/channel will cause other inputs assigned to that amp/channel to play louder when they become active. Likewise for bass and treble. Be sure VOL is the current control (this is the normal default function). If BASS or TREB are lit, press the VOL button. Its indicator will light brightly and the volume lev

Quick Start To Select a Specific Input The ProMatrix unit is normally set to monitor input activity and, based on the default or installer-created priority table, automatically switches the proper input for each amp/channel. You can override the priority switching feature of any amp/channel to select a specific input to be on continuously. 1. Press the AUTO button. Its indicator LED will flash. and the alphanumeric display will show SEL INPUT. 2. Press the desired input selector but- ton (MIC

Quick Start Aux Input Trim Adjustment By adjusting the Trim controls as follows, inputs with different signal levels are set approximately equal within the ProMatrix unit. Important: You must properly set the Aux Input Trim Controls. Improperly adjusted trims can result in high distortion levels, poor volume balance between different inputs or false triggering of inputs. To adjust trims, follow the procedure below: 1. Make sure the various input sources are attached and operating at their normal

Wiring Information Outputs For PM-3000 Preamplifier Each preamplifier channel has its own balanced output terminals and unbal- anced RCA output jacks on the rear panel to handle different amplifier and signal processing inputs. 1 2 1. This figure shows wiring 3 from the PM-3000 Note 1 Balanced Output to a standard XLR-type of balanced amplifier input. Note 1. In some instances, connecting the cable shield to both the PM-3000 ground and the amplifier’s input ground may cause ground loops. In t
