Frequently Asked Questions - PMX-350 ALECTO

What type of audio sources can I connect to the PMX-350?

You can connect microphones (XLR or jack), record players (phono) via RCA, and line-level devices such as CD players or media players via RCA inputs.

How do I connect a turntable to the mixer?

Use the PHONO RCA inputs on the back. Set the PH/CD switch to PHONO and the input selector to PH. Also connect the turntable's ground wire to the EARTH terminal to prevent hum.

What is the PFL function and how do I use it?

PFL (Pre-Fade Listen) allows you to monitor an input channel before the fader. Press the PFL button for that channel, then use the headphone to adjust the gain with the PRESET controller. This helps set optimal levels without distortion or noise.

Can I record audio from the mixer?

Yes, connect a recording device to the REC output terminals. The signal level is influenced only by the channel faders, not the master volume.

How do I adjust the bass, mid, and treble?

Each channel has HIGH, MID, and LOW rotary controllers. They allow you to boost or cut frequencies by up to ±10 dB. Bass: -26 to +10 dB, Mid: -26 to +10 dB, Treble: -26 to +10 dB.

What does the AUTO TALK button do?

When depressed, the AUTO TALK function automatically attenuates the music channels while you speak into the microphone. This ensures clear voice announcements.

How do I clean the mixer?

Unplug the mixer from the mains. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the frontplate. Do not use abrasive cleaners or let moisture enter the device.

What is the crossfader used for?

The crossfader smoothly transitions audio between Channel 2 and Channel 3. It is essential for seamless mixing between two audio sources.

Can I use the PMX-350 in humid or wet environments?

No, the mixer is designed for dry surroundings only. Moisture can cause hazardous situations. If liquid enters the device, unplug it immediately and consult your supplier.

What are the headphone specifications for monitoring?

Connect stereo headphones with impedance between 32 and 200 ohms to the PHONES jack. Use the LEVEL controller to adjust volume, and the PFL/PGM switch to select between PFL or main output.

USER MANUAL PMX-350 ALECTO

ECOUTER EN AVANT (PFL):

USERS MANUAL P&Q PMX-350

The P&Q PMX-350 is a high quality professional audio mixer, special designed for use in discotheques, studio's, PA systems etc.

Each channel has its own tone control and can be monitored.

Thanks to the CROSS-OVER control, it is easy to mix the audio signals coming from CHANNEL-1 and CHANNEL-2.

INPUTS

MICROPHONE:

• The XLR connector on the frontside is for the DJ microphone.(1)
• In case the microphone is of a symmetrical type, than plug it directly into the XLR socket.(2)
• In case the microphone is equipped with a 6.3mm plug, than use the 6,.3mm jack on the backside of the mixer.(2)
• Adjust the microphones volume with slider CH-1.(3)
• The HIGH, MID and LOW controllers are to adjust the high, mid and low frequencies.(4)

RECORD PLAYERS:

• On the backside of the PMX-350 are 2 pair of CINCH connections for 2 record players (PHONO). (5)
• Also on the backside an EARTH connector is located. Use it to connect the record player to earth.(6)
• Select PHONO with the PH/CD (7) switch to assign this channel for the use of record players. Also on the backside of the mixer, the input selector must be set to PH(ono). (8)
• Use faders CH-2 (9) and CH-3 (10) to control the volume.
• The HIGH, MID and LOW controllers are to adjust the high, mid and low frequencies.(4)

LINE:

Remark: except for record players and microphones, all audio sources have an output level of about 150 to 250mV. This is called the LINE level.

• This kind of equipment must be connected to the input terminals LINE.(11)
• Select position LINE to assign the corresponding channel for the use of LINE equipment.
• Use faders CH-1 (3), CH-2 (9) and CH-3 (10) to control the volume.
• The HIGH, MID and LOW controllers are to adjust the high, mid and low frequencies.(4)

OUTPUT

The PMX-350 is equipped with 3 output terminals of which 2 have its own volume control.

MASTER:

The MASTER output (12) is for connecting to the main amplifier.

Use the controller MASTER to adjust the volume.(21)

MONITORING:

To the output terminal "BOOTH", (13) an amplifier can be connected which can be used for your own monitoring or can be used to reproduce sound in another room.

Adjust this volume with controller BOOTH.(22)

RECORDING:

A recording device can be connected to the output terminals REC. The output level of this signal is only influenced by the position of the sliders.(14)

PRE FADE LISTENING (PFL):

The PMX-350 has a so called PFL-function with which it is possible to optimize the several input signals. In case the input level is too high, distortion can occur and in case this signal is too weak, the signal to noise level increases. When pressing the buttons PFL (Pre-Fade-Listening) each input signal can be monitored through the headphone and can be adjusted using the PRESET controllers.(23)

HEADPHONE:

For the pre-fade-listening function, a headphone must be connected to the connection PHONES on the frontside.(15) The volume is to be controlled by the LEVEL controller.(24)

Use the slider PFL/PGM to select whether the headphone produces the PFL signal or the output signal.(16)

DIVERS

CROSS-FADER:

With the slider CROSS-FADER it is possible to smoothly change from channel-2 to channel 3.(17)

AUTO TALK:

When this button (18) is depressed, the music channels are attenuated when and as long you speak into the microphone.

BEAT LEDS:

The BEAT-LEDS are indicators. These LEDS's give you a visual idee of the bass levels. This function makes your mixing easier. (19)

BALANCE:

With the BALANCE controller, the left-right ratio can be adjusted.(20)
