Frequently Asked Questions - PM-211P Omnitronic

How do I connect a turntable to the PM-211P?

Connect the turntable's RCA cables to the CH 1 IN or CH 2 IN RCA jacks. If your turntable has a ground wire, attach it to the GND terminal. Then press the corresponding input selector switch on the front panel to engage phono mode (red LED lights).

Can I use the MP3 player and the main channels simultaneously?

Yes, the MP3 player signal is directly sent to the Master Output and can be mixed with the channel inputs. However, the MP3 player signal is not affected by the Talkover function and cannot be routed to the headphones output for CUE monitoring.

Why is there no sound from my headphones?

Ensure headphones are plugged into the HEADPHONES jack (6.3 mm stereo). Adjust the CUE LEVEL control and the CUE MIXING control to select the desired channel(s). Also check that the master volume is not turned completely down.

How do I use the Talkover function?

Press the TALKOVER button so that the red LED lights. When you speak into the microphone connected to the MIC IN jack, the levels of channels 1 and 2 are automatically attenuated by 20 dB, making the announcement clearer.

What USB devices are supported for MP3 playback?

The mixer supports USB devices with FAT32 file system and capacity up to 32 GB. All MP3 or WAV files must be stored in the root directory (no folder support). Files are played in alphabetical order with auto repeat.

How do I set the input level for a channel?

Set the gain control and crossfader to mid-position. With the CUE TO METER switch engaged (red LED), the LED meter shows the prefader signal of each channel. Adjust the channel fader and gain so that the meter shows around 0 dB at average volume. Avoid the red LEDs lighting up to prevent distortion.

Can I record the mix without affecting the master output?

Yes, the REC OUT output provides a stereo signal that is independent of the Master control. You can connect a recording device to the REC OUT RCA jacks and the level remains unaffected by the master volume.

The power does not turn on. What should I check?

First, ensure the power cable is properly connected to the POWER input and a working outlet. Also check that the supplied power unit is used. If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.

How do I clean the mixer?

Disconnect the mixer from power before cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. There are no user-serviceable parts inside; refer maintenance to authorized dealers.

What are the dimensions and weight of the PM-211P?

The mixer measures 180 x 140 x 65 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 1.2 kg.

Switch off the mixer prior to connecting any units or to changing any existing connections.

1 Connect units with line level output (e.g. CD players) or turntables with magnetic system to the corresponding RCA jacks of channels 1 and 2 (white jack = left channel; red jack = right channel). If your turntable is equipped with a separate ground lead, connect it to the clamping screw.

• For units with line level output, leave the respective input selector switch disengaged.
• For turntables, engage the input selector switch (red LED lights).

2 Connect a dynamic DJ microphone with an unbalanced 6.3 mm plug to the microphone input MIC.
3 Connect the amplifier to the unbalanced RCA master output.
4 For sound recordings, connect the recording unit to the output REC OUT. The recording level is independent of the position of the master control.
5 The input channels can be monitored via stereo headphones. Connect the headphones to the 6.3 mm jack HEAPHONES.
6 Connect the cable of the power unit to the power input and the power unit to a power outlet.

- Use the mixer only with the supplied power unit. Always disconnect the mains connector when you wish to change connections, move the unit to a different place or if it is not used for a longer period.

6. OPERATION

Prior to switching on, set the master control to zero to avoid damage to the hearing by a volume which is too high when switching on. Switch on the mixer with the power switch and then the connected units. After operation, switch off the mixer with the power switch.

6.1 Basic adjustment of the input channels

1 First set both gain controls and the crossfader to mid-position.
2 The master control determines the total level of all connected audio sources. Set the control to approx. 2/3 of its maximum.
3 Press the selector switch CUE TO METER to switch on the monitoring mode (red LED lights). Now the LED level display indicates the prefader signal of channel 1 on the left side and the prefader signal of channel 2 on the right side.
4 Via the LED level display, adjust the input amplification of both input channels with the channel faders. An optimum level control is obtained if level values in the 0 dB range are shown at average volume. If the red LEDs of the meter light up, there is an overload of the channel signal. After level adjustment, the cannel faders should be at approx. 2/3 of their maximum. With the faders advanced only slightly or very far, the level must be matched by adjusting the input amplification. Turn up or turn back the respective gain control accordingly.

6.2 Adjustment of the output level

The output signal is fed to the adjustable master output and to the recording output without individual level control.

1 Disengage the switch CUE TO METER. Now the LED level display indicates the master signal.
2 Via the LED level display, adjust the master signal to an optimum level with the master control. Usually an optimum level control is obtained if the LED level display shows values in the 0 dB range at average volume. However, if the output level at the master output is too high for the following unit, the master signal must be controlled to a corresponding lower level.
3 The recording signal at the output REC OUT is not affected by the master control.

6.3 Crossfading between the input channels

The crossfader allows crossfading between both input channels:

• crossfader moved to the left: fade-in of channel 1 and fade-out of channel 2
• crossfader moved to the right: fade-in of channel 2 and fade-out of channel 1
- For hearing the signals of the two channels at the same level, set the crossfader to mid-position.

6.4 Prefader listening to the input channels

The cue function allows monitoring each of the input channels via headphones connected to the jack HEADPHONES even if the corresponding channel is faded out. Thus, it is possible, e.g. to time the moment for fading in an audio source.

1 For prefader listening to a channel, adjust the control CUE MIXING: Turn the control to the left to monitor channel 1, turn the control to the right to monitor channel 2. In mid-position, both channels can be heard at the same volume.
2 Adjust the desired headphones volume with the control CUE LEVEL.

6.5 Announcements via the DJ microphone

1 Adjust the volume of the microphone announcement with the control MIC LEVEL.
2 Adjust the desired sound with the tone control MIC EQ: Turn the control to the left for a more bass-emphasized sound, turn the control to the right for a more treble-emphasized sound.
3 To improve the audibility of an announcement during the current music program, press the button TALKOVER (red LED lights) to activate the talkover function. Then during a microphone announcement, the levels of channels 1 and 2 are automatically attenuated by 20 dB.

6.6 Playing MP3 files

The integrated MP3 player is intended for the background program and not for the main program. Accordingly, the MP3 player's signal is directly sent to the master output; it is not affected by the TALKOVER switch and cannot be routed to the headphones output.

1 Insert a USB device into the USB port. After loading a device, it is selected as the playback medium and read in. Press the button [▶II] to start the playback of the first title. To interrupt the playback, press the button [▶II] once again.
2 Adjust the desired volume for the MP3 player with the level control USB LEVEL.
3 With the buttons [◀] and [▶], you can skip titles in forward or backward direction and start fast forward and reverse:

- short actuation of the button [▶]: skip to the next title

- short actuation of the button [◀]: skip to the previous title

- long actuation of the button [▶]: fast forward

- long actuation of the button [◀]: fast reverse

4 To remove a USB device, disconnect it from the USB port. Prior to removing a device, always terminate the playback with the button [▶II]. Otherwise damage or loss of data may occur.

Regarding USB devices

• This unit supports USB devices with the file system FAT32 and with a capacity up to 32 GB.
• This unit does not recognize folders. All MP3 files must be stored in the root directory of the memory. The files will be played in alphabetical order.
