1. 12 The auxiliary input jack is the input to the clear channel provided in the PA 200 for use with additional mics or external effects echo units This input works in con junction with the auxiliary level control 8 and feeds into the main mixing buss 13 The reverb footswitch jack provides a method for reverb cutoff by use of the optional remote footswitch Any footswitch with the proper plug standard phone plug and a shielded cable will work with this jack In the event you should decide to use the effects mixing buss for monitor the reverb unit may be shut off by use of this feature 14 The pilot light indicates when power is applied to the amplifier 15 The three wire line cord has been provided for your protection and should be connected to the proper line voltage as indicated on the back panel DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN ON PLUG 16 The fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder and should be replaced with one of the proper value if it should fail It is necessary that the proper value fuse be used to avoid damage to the equipment and to avoid voiding the warranty Models that have circuit breakers can be reset by depressing the red button If the breaker trips repeatedly take the unit to a qualified service center for inspection 17 The line power switch is of the three position type with the center position being off The three position switch has two on positions which are used to gro2. yield a flat response Clockwise operation results in a boost and counter CIOE AWISE operation results in a cut 4 The high eqiidlization control deter mines the high frequency response of the individual channel The high control is part of an electronic crossover and functions as a volume control for the high frequencies The vertical 0 position yields flat response while clockwise settings boost highs and counter clockwise settings yield a high cut 5 6 Each channel of the PA 200 is equipped with two input jacks which are con nected in a unique circuit that allows a wide range of inputs to be handled When only one microphone is used the A input jack is more sensitive than the B input jack This high and low gain feature enables optimum microphone matching If a high output microphone is overloading the sensitive A input simply reconnect this mike into the low gain B jack When two inputs are used in each channel the input circuit automati cally balances to equalize the gain in both jacks This simple but effective switching system gives the user much greater flexi bility in choice of input sensitivities and overload protection MASTER SECTION The PA 200 master section contains the necessary controls to enable the user to obtain overall control of the mixing functions as well as providing an additional clear channel to enable use of an additional mic or effect

4. cations The PA 200 is a four channel nicer ple fier with the capability of handling up to eight microphones or instruments because of its extremely wide dynamic range Each channel of the 200 features separate volume low and high equalization and effects con trols to enable the operator to control each microphone or instrument s tone and response characteristics The master section of the PA 200 provides controls for added flexibility These master controls enable the operator to more fully control the output in order to create a more balanced sound The reverb effect is Sooper from the optional remote footswitch 1 The gain control serves to vary the gain of the preamp The preamps of the new 200 PA are of the variable feedback type which allows lowest noise and maximum perfor mance 2 The effects send condol determines the amount of signal from each channel mixed into the effects reverb system This control is used to determine the amount of drive to the internal reverb unit as well as determining the amount of signal delivered to the effects output jack 11 3 The low equalization control deter mines the low frequency response of the individual channel The 200 PA low control is a type of electronic crossover which acts as a volume control for the low frequencies Because of the design of this control it is possible to obtain both low boost and cut The vertical position 0 will
5. m this external effect unit may be connected to the auxiliary input 12 and controlled by the auxiliary level control 8 10 The main output jack provides a signal out from the main mixing amplifier This output may be used to patch into other mixers Or power amplifiers and may be used as a tape recording output This output pro vides approximately 1 0 V R M S at 10 k Ohms output impedance This output is not suitable to drive headphones 11 The effects output jack provides an output signal from the effects mixing buss The signal mix from the effects buss is simul taneously applied to the effects output jack and the reverb drive amplifier This effects out jack may be used for supplying a mixed down signal to external effects or echo units or may be used as a monitor output if the reverb is cut off by using the footswitch jack Remember that the mix as well as the output level is controlled by the settings of the channel effects send controls OUTPUTS AUX LEVEL INPUT REVERB REV RETURN The new PA 200 is a compact portable sound reinforcement MIXER AMPLIFIER featuring a rugged 100 Watt power stage This compact but powerful unit is capable of handling most any club or lounge perfor mance as well as the smaller concerts Because of the super heavy duty silicon output devices and the large aluminum heat sink the PA 200 has the extra measure of durability required for demanding commercial appli

7. s unit A complete patch panel is pro vided for using the PA 200 in conjunction with other equipment 7 The master gain control controls the level of the master mixer by use of variable negative feedback The use of active mixing allows your PA 200 Mixer Amplifier to perform as well as many studio mixing con soles This method is the same used on the latest recording mixers and yields the least distortion and noise than any other method The master gain sets the level for the entire system The master gain should be set ap proximately in the middle position 4 6 and fine adjustment in volume should be made with the individual controls on each channel 3 The auxiliary level control is a clear channel input that is capable of handling either a microphone or outputs from effects units This auxiliary channel feeds into the main mixing buss and is actually an additional unequalized input channel The auxiliary input 12 is the jack associated with this control This channel is ideal for use with echo or effects units with the signal for these being derived from the effects output jack 9 The reverb return is the control that determines how much of the delayed reverb signal is blended back into the master mixer The reverb return level control must be turned up before any reverb effect is heard at the output The reverb return level should be get so that the individual effects send controls
