ENGLISH3WARNING!USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the fol-lowing guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposureto sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.90 dB SPL at 8 hours95 dB SPL at 4 hours100 dB SPL at 2 hours105 dB SPL at 1 hour110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour115 dB SPL at 15 minutes120 dB SPL — avoid or damage may occurIt is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In additionto the volume setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices.The isolation provided by the fit of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears,stop using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones ifthey are causing great discomfort or infection.This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions inthe literature accompanying this unit.Licensing InformationChanges or modifications not expressly approved by Shure Incorporated could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Mix the signal from each audio input using the corresponding CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knob:OUTER RING: Use this to pan the signal to the left or right channel of the stereo mix.INNER KNOB: Use this to control the level of the audio input.2. Observe the signal/clip LEDs next to each CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knob.NOTE: Decrease the level of an input if the corresponding signal/clip LED is consistently red. If the level is decreased all the way and theLED remains red, the level of the input from the previous device in the audio chain is too high and should be decreased.3. Up to two additional line-level audio sources (such as other mixers, a click track or a digital sequencer) may be added viathe AUX IN inputs. These signals go directly to the MIX OUT outputs and are not affected by the CONCENTRIC LEVEL/PAN knobs.4. To pass an unaltered signal through the mixer, use the corresponding SPLIT OUTPUT.NOTE: Although the mixer does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUTPUTS can pass phantom powerfrom a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack.CAUTION!: Use a “direct box” when connecting guitars, keyboards, and other instruments to a mixing console throughthe P4M Mixer. The phantom power that mixing consoles provide for microphones can damage other instruments. Connectthe instrument to the direct box then connect the direct box to the P4M Mixer input.Audio signal path for the P4M MixerSPLIT OUTSLEVLEVLEVLEVSUM SUMPANPANPANPANMIC/LINE INPUTSAUX IN AUX IN MIX OUT MIX OUT2/R 2/R1/L 1/L

DC Input Connector: Input for PS40 power supply or P4M mix-er’s DC jumper cable.Set-UpFollow these directions to set up the P4T transmitter for operation:1. Plug the mixer’s DC OUT jumper cable into the transmitter’s DC input.2. Attach the antenna to the ANTENNA OUT BNC connector.3. Connect the mixer’s MIX OUT 1/L and MIX OUT 2/R to inputs 1/L and 2/R of the transmitter.4. Select an operating frequency using the FREQUENCY SELECT button. Push the button repeatedly until the LED displays the desired chan-nel. The display will flash. Push and hold the button until the flashing stops to confirm the change (use a 1/4” plug to press the button).IMPORTANT: Never set more than ONE transmitter to the same operating frequency.5. Once the transmitter transmits audio, observe the INPUT LEVEL LEDs. If the LEDs consistently illuminate red, decrease the output level ofthe audio source until the red LEDs only flicker occasionally.6. Set up the P4R receiver as directed in the P4R section of this user’s guide. Make sure that the frequency selected on the receiver matches thefrequency selected on the transmitter.

ENGLISH9Loop ApplicationsThe LOOP OUT 1/L and 2/R outputs allow the signal going through the P4T transmitter to be routed to other devices. The LOOP feature ofthe transmitter can be used for any number of applications. Shown here are only a few examples of how it can be used. Also see SystemApplication #3.Floor Monitor AmplifierP4T TRANSMITTER(BACK PANEL) P4R ReceiverRunning Floor Monitors Through a P4T Transmitter: An audio signal can be sent through the LOOP connectors to an amplifier for anonstage monitor system.

This allows each P4T user to mix a band mix signal with a solo mix signal using the MixModefeature on the receiver. The thumbwheel on the P4R is used to mix the two signals in relation to one another.Running a Recording Device Through a P4T Transmitter: If you would like to make a recording of a performance, the LOOP outputscan be connected to the inputs of a tape deck, DAT, or other recording device.

ENGLISH12MixMode/Stereo ControlThe flexible design of the PSM 400 Wireless Personal Performance Pack makes configuring a monitor mix very simple. Inaddition, the unique MixMode circuitry enables you to customize your own individual mix in a multiple mix environment.MixMode Control Used for mixing and combining an individual mix between two distinct monitorsends.Stereo Control Used for conventional stereo monitor mixes.Mono Control Used when only one (mono) monitor mix is available.Signal from AudioSourceSignal from AudioSourceP4T TRANSMITTERMIXMODEP4R RECEIVERSTEREO1/L2/R1/L2/R1/L2/R1/L and 2/RMIXEDWHAT IS MIXMODE CONTROL?The P4R receiver receives two signals (1/L and 2/R) from the P4T transmitter. The P4R processes these signals in either MixMode or stereo:STEREO: In stereo, the signals remain separate so that 1/L is heard through the left earphone and 2/R is heard throughthe right earphone. The balance knob on the P4R adjusts the balance between the left and right earphones.MIXMODE: In MixMode, the signals are “mixed” in relation to one another using the balance knob, blended into onesignal. The one mixed signal is sent to both the left and right earphones.Step One: The P4Rreceives TWO signalsfrom the P4T transmit-ter.Step Two: Using the balance knob,the user blends the two signals untilthe correct mix is achieved.Step Three: The P4Rsends the mixed signalto both earphones.Step Four: The user may con-tinue to adjust the blend usingthe balance knob throughoutthe performance.CLOCKWISEMID-POINTCOUNTERCLOCKWISEMIXMODEchannel 1 MIXMODEchannel 2Using MixModeMIXMODE IN APPLICATIONSMixMode is most useful when two distinct mixes are provided to the P4T transmitter, such as a band mix and a vocal mix. MixMode combinesthese two signals into one monitor mix and allows you to control this mix during the performance using the P4R receiver. For example, if theband overpowers the vocals in the mix, increase the level of the vocals and decrease the level of the band by simply adjusting the balanceknob on the receiver.

ENGLISH18RACK MOUNTING OPTIONSRack Mounting the P4T and P4MBoth the P4T and P4M feature a 1/2-rack chassis specially designed for sturdiness. The sagging and bending found in most 1/2-rackdesigns is eliminated — the brackets and straddle bars are designed to ensure that the units will be installed securely.WARNING: Do not torque the screws too tightly, or the chassis may be damaged.Mounting UnitsNOTE: Be sure to use both straddle bars when installing dual units.Mounting in an Equipment Rack
