This signal can be sent to the AUX device in the following three (3) ways; PRE: The signal before the input fader (after EQ) will be sent to AUX SEND JACK. POST: The signal after the input fader and crossfader will be sent to AUX SEND JACK. OFF: No signal will be sent to AUX SEND JACK. wMIC EQ (HI/LOW) Adjusts the HI and LOW frequencies for the MIC input. eMIC LEVEL Adjusts the input level of the MIC input. rMIC/LINE SELECT SWITCH !4 C.F. ASSIGN SWITCH Selects between MIC and LINE input. Assigns the signals from each of the PGM channels to either side of the crossfader or to MASTER OUT. There are three positions; A ……………The PGM is sent to the "A" position or left position of the crossfader. MASTER ……The PGM is sent directly to the master out.

See "HOW TO CHANGE THE INPUT FADER UNIT". *Replace this fader with a Vestax IF-500 replacement inputfader. 6 CROSS FADER SECTION !9 CROSS FADER Mixes the signals assigned by the C.F. ASSIGN SWITCH !4 to either side of the crossfader. When the crossfader is set in the center position, both the left and right signals will be heard. This fader is user replaceable and may be changed easily by following this user guide's instructions carefully. See"HOW TO CHANGE THE CROSSFADER". *Replace this fader with a Vestax CF-PCV replacement inputfader. 20 @0 C.F. CURVE SELECT SWITCH Adjusts the crossfader curve. A clockwise rotation gives a gentle crossfade, good for long running mixes, whereas a counter clockwise rotation gives a sleep crossfade which is good for scratching and cutting. 19 MONITOR SECTION @3 MONITOR MODE SELECT SWITCH When this switch is set to "SPLIT", the master signal is always heard through the right ear-cup with the "monitor" PGM being heard in the left ear-cup. The monitor PGM sent the headphone is controlled through the MONITOR MODE SELECT SWITCH. When set to "STEREO" no master output is heard in the headphones, and only the signal selected by MONITOR SELECT SWITCH will be heard in both ear-cups. 21 22 @4 MONITOR MODE LED This LED will be illuminated when the MONITOR MODE SELECT SWITCH@3 is on. 24 23 @5 PHONES JACK Use this jack to connect headphones. Headphones with an impedance of 8ohm to 600ohm can be used on this unit. *For best sound quality Vestax recommends using Headphones with 150ohm impedance. 25 @1 MONITOR EQ (HI/LOW) Adjusts the HI and LOW frequencies for Headphone monitoring. @2 MONITOR LEVEL Adjusts the headphone monitor level. 7 MASTER SECTION #1 METER ASSIGN SWITCH Use this switch to select either MASTER OUT 1 or 2 to be shown in the MASTER LEVEL METER #0. #2 POWER LED This LED will be illuminated when the POWER SWITCH %4 is on. #3 AUX SEND LEVEL Adjusts the output level sent to an external effects unit connected to the AUX SEND JACK $9 on the rear panel. When the crossfader is used, this signal is taken after the crossfader but before the master fader. This makes a variety of techniques possible, such as the application of echo to a cut out in which the crossfader would be used. #4 AUX RCV LEVEL Adjusts the input level from an external effect unit connected to the AUX RCV JACK %0 on the rear panel. #5 AUX CUE ON/OFF SWITCH Sends the signal of external effects unit connected to the AUX SEND JACK to the MONITOR section for headphone monitoring. #6 AUX CUE LED This LED will be illuminated when the AUX CUE SWITCH#5 is on. #7 AUX RCV LEVEL METER This LED bar level meter indicates the level of the AUX RCV JACK signal. #8 BOOTH OUT EQ (HI/LOW) @6 MASTER BALANCE 1&2 Adjusts the HI and LOW frequencies for the Adjusts the signal balance of the L to R side of the BOOTH OUT. outputs from MASTER OUT 1&2 JACKS %2 on the #9 BOOTH OUT LEVEL rear panel. Adjusts the output level of BOOTH OUT. @7 MASTER LEVEL 1&2 $0 MUTE SWITCH Adjusts the signal level outputs from MASTER OUT 1&2 JACKS on the rear panel. This switch mutes the signal being sent to BOOTH OUT. @8 MASTER 1&2 CUE SWITCH $1 MUTE LED Used to send the signal from the MASTER OUT 1&2 to the monitor section for headphone monitoring. This LED will be illuminated when the MUTE SWITCH $0 is on. $2MASTER 1&2 & BOOTH OUTPUT LEVEL SELECTOR (ATTENUATION). @9 MASTER 1&2 CUE LED This LED is illuminated when the MASTER 1&2 CUE SWITCH @8 is on. Located under the top panel, this switch adjusts the output level for Master 1&2 in addition to the Booth out put level. The PMC-500 is pre-set to a 0dB output level but may be changed to -10dB. #0 MASTER LEVEL METER This LED bar level meter indicates the L and R outputs. 8 REAR PANEL 54 52 51 46 45 43 56 44 55 53 50 $3 MIC1 INPUT JACK 47 Connects to the input jack of any recording device IE, tape recorder, MD, DAT, etc. The output level of this jack is fixed and does not change with the MASTER LEVEL. $4 EFFECT LOOP JACK %2MASTER OUT1&2(1/4" PHONE JACK (UNBALANCED),XLR JACK(BALANCED) TIP: SEND OUT RING: RETURN INPUT SLEEVE: EARTH Connects to the input of an external effects device. RETURN 49 %1 REC OUT JACK Input jack for MIC. MIC1: PHONE JACK (UNBALANCED) MIC2: XLR JACK (BALANCED) SEND 48 Connect to the input on a power amplifier. These jacks are Phone type for consumer applications. This mixer has two sets of MASTER OUT jacks so that the each output level can be set separately. Therefore, the MASTER OUT can be used for main output or sub output IE. One for the main area and the other for entrance. EARTH %3 BOOTH OUT(1/4" PHONE JACK (UNBALANCED),XLR JACK(BALANCED) Connects to the DJ booth monitors. $5 INPUT LEVEL SELECT SWITCH (0dB/-10dB) Selects the attenuation level for any input signal. $6 LINE INPUT RCA JACK Input connectors for line level equipment such as CD players, MD players, tape decks, DAT and/or VTR etc. $7 PHONO INPUT RCA JACK Input jacks for turntables. Connect turntables equipped with MM (pick up) cartridge. $8 GND TERMINAL In order to prevent feedback from booth monitors in a typical setting, both MIC1/LINE11 & MIC2/LINE12 cannot be heard thorough the booth monitor section. These 2 PGMs can however be monitored through the headphone section. An internal modification is needed in order to allow these a PGMs to be heard through the booth monitor section. Please consult a Vestax Technical Support Representative before attempting any such modification. Connect this terminal to the ground lead of the turntable. This will help to reduce unnecessary noise. %4 POWER SWITCH $9 AUX SEND JACK Power on/off. Connects to the input of external effects devices. %5POWER JACK (Delay, Reverb, etc) Connect the Vestax AC-20 , AC adaptor. %0 AUX RCV JACK Connects to the output of external effects devices. 9 %4 FIRE EVACUATION CONTROL (JACK) This feature has been added in order to ensure that venues using the PMC-500 are in compliance with modern fire safety standards. If a Fire Alarm is correctly connected to the PMC-500 and is triggered in an evacuation emergency, the PMC-500 will react to such a signal (alarm) by swiftly canceling the output of all but the MIC signal(s). Keeping the MIC signal(s) open will thus allow the PMC-500 operator to broadcast any necessary evacuation procedures ensuring that all present are quickly and safely notified in an emergency. Connection to the Fire Evacuation Control Jack can be accomplished as illustrated. FIRE EVACUATION CONTROL INPUT JACK ＋ − + voltage - voltage FIRE ALARM EARTH(GND） (VENUE) When a signal of greater than -20dB is sent through the Fire Evacuation Control Jack to the PMC-500, both the Master Out and Booth Out volume levels (excepting MIC) will automatically decrease to -18dB, thereby facilitating the broadcast of any emergency information clearly. FIRE EVACUATION CONTROL INPUT LEVEL （INNER OF THE PANEL) ＋ BOTTOM PANEL Professional installation users may wish to alter the sound output level further. In order to do so please make any such adjustment by using the Fire Evacuation Control Trim (screw) located on the bottom panel of the PMC-500. (This screw is located next to the left leg stand). 10 HOW TO CHANGE THE INPUTFADER UNIT ■Change to "IF-500" q Re1.Remove the fader knobs.
