8 Hookup Diagrams .
9 House of W orship/Full Band For this example, there are four microphones connected to channels 1-4. These microphones can either be the optional UHF wireless channels, low-impedance corded microphones, or high-impedance corded microphones. Musical instruments are connected to channels 5-8.
10 Hookup Diagrams .
11 DJ For this example we have two microphones in use on channels 1 and 2; one for the DJ, the other as a backup or guest speaker . There is a line-out from a DJ mixer connected to CH. 5/6 to ser ve as the main music source. For additional music needs, either a laptop computer or MP3 player is connected to CH.

13 Public Address/Presentation For this set up, there are four microphones connected to channels 1-4. These microphones can be either the optional UHF wireless channels, low-impedance corded microphones, or high-impedance corded microphones. Source music devices are connected to channels 5-8.
14 REAR P ANEL FEA TURES 1. POWER CONNECTOR – Connect the supplied 3-prong power cord to this connector . 1a. NOTE: Before plugging in to a power receptacle, make sure that voltage of your P A-PRO 900 is the same voltage as your local AC mains voltage.
15 CHANNEL STRIPS The six ver tical channel strips contain all the individual controls for each channel. Each channel strip works independently of each other , and adjusts only the signal plugged into the jacks below it.
16 P A TCH BA Y MIC/LINE (CH 1-4) The MIC/LINE inputs are for connecting microphones, instruments, or line-level output signals. Once the devices are connected, the signals can be customized using the individual channel strips, and fur ther controlled using the DSP , EQ and main system controls.
17 COMPRESSOR (CH.1-4) Channels 1-4 have on-board compression available for preventing unwanted distor tion in the audio signal. The compressor works by setting a threshold level with the threshold knob. Once a signal level exceeds that threshold, the signal is automatically compressed.
18 18. ECHO DELA Y – This control is used to adjust the 18. ECHO DELA Y – This control is used to adjust the 18. ECHO DELA Y length of time between each echo repetition. When set to minimum, the echo repetitions will occur rapidly , with little to no time between them.
19 25. MAIN L, R GRAPHIC EQ – This 7-band graphic EQ 25. MAIN L, R GRAPHIC EQ – This 7-band graphic EQ 25. MAIN L, R GRAPHIC EQ is used to customize the sound of the MAIN L, R mix output. This EQ section affects the signals found in the MAIN (XLR), headphone, line-level, and speaker-level jacks (when confi gured to MAIN L, R).
20 29. MONITOR GRAPHIC EQ – This 7-band graphic EQ is 29. MONITOR GRAPHIC EQ – This 7-band graphic EQ is 29. MONITOR GRAPHIC EQ used to customize the sound of the MONITOR mix output. This EQ section affects the signals found in the MONITOR (1/4”) jack and the speaker-level jack (when confi gured to MAIN L, R+MONITOR).
21 33. +48V PHANTOM POWER – This button toggles phantom power to all the XLR microphone jacks. Enabling phantom power sends low current DC voltage to a microphone’ s electronics through the same cable that carries the audio signal. Most professional condenser microphones require phantom power .
22 Master Out Panel The master out panel is where you make output connections to external devices such as mixers, amplifi ers, powered speakers, headphones, recording devices, etc. All the signals from these jacks are line-level, meaning that they are not powered by the internal amplifi er , and are suited for connection to line-level inputs.
23 SDR-3 RECORDER (optional accessory) Use the optional SDR-3 (if installed) to capture audio direct to SD card. Once recorded, the audio can then be routed to either CH 7-8 or the MAIN mix for immediate playback. Of course, you can also remove the SD card and transfer the MP3 fi les to your computer for fur ther editing and processing.
24 9. SD CARD SLOT – Inser t your SD card into this slot. The SDR-3 will not record without an SD card in this slot. 10. REC LEVEL LEDs – These LEDs visually represent the gain level of the signal being recorded. There are fi ve green LEDs and two red LEDs.
25 Optional Accessories UHF W ireless Channels (optional accessory) Y ou can add up to four UHF wireless microphone modules (sold separately) to use with the P A-PRO 900.
