Combined with the PLE-1P120-EU or PLE-1P240-EU amplifiers you can build an easy-to- operate yet powerful and flexible public address system. All this without sacrificing features such as ducking priority and flexibility. The mixer fulfills a wide variety of public address requirements yet is surprisingly affordable.

Functions

Inputs
All Mic/line inputs can be switched between microphone level and line level sensitivity. The inputs are balanced and can also be used unbalanced. Phantom power can be switched on to provide power to condenser microphones.

Input channels 1 and 2 can take priority over all other microphone and music inputs:

• Input 1 can be activated by contact closure on the PTT (push to talk) input or the input can be switched automatically if a signal is fed to the input i.e. if someone speaks into the microphone (VOX activation). A 2-tone chime can be configured to precede an announcement
• Input 2 also has a VOX possibility. When one or both inputs are configured for priority the attenuation (reduction) of the cinch input can be set between -2 dB (little attenuation) and -? dB (mute). This provides a talk-over or voice-over function.

Input channels 1 and 2 also feature selectable speech filters to enhance the clarity of announcements.

Labels and colored pins
More unique features are available such as a detachable label where the user can write the names for inputs music sources and zones. These labels can then be mounted on the front protected by the clear window.

Another useful feature is to indicate preferred settings on the front panel by inserting colored pins at the preset levels of all knobs. You can then instruct a user to set all the controls to the green pins to configure the system for their particular use. A second user can set all controls to the red pins for their configuration.

Unique features
Separate music inputs are available with their own input selector volume control and tone control. The user can choose a music source such as a CD player or radio (like the PLN-DVDT) and set the music level. A desired sound for the music source can be set separate from the mic/line inputs. So if the music requires boosted low frequencies the microphone voices will still be clear – a truly unique feature in its class.
The tone controls also have the following unique features:

• The mixer features separate tone controls for mic/line inputs and music inputs so the microphone voice can be specifically optimized for excellent speech or singing
• The tone controls for music enable the most suitable music reproduction

In addition the tone controls are not standard bass and treble controls; our experience has enabled us to develop a tone control that can be used as a traditional tone control with high and low control but with a powerful contour that addresses the problems that are found in real situations.

The tone control for the microphone and line inputs:

• boosts warmth in voices without boosting rumble and cuts rumble without losing warmth in the low frequencies
• boosts sparkle without adding sharpness in the high frequencies when boosting and reduces harshness and sharpness without reducing clarity when cutting
