PN88M Zone Paging Microphone
The PN88M is a compact, 8 zone paging station. To use the PN88M, just select the zones you wish to page and press and hold the
'Zone Page' button. All zones can be paged by simply holding the 'All-Page' button. A busy LED will flash on all of the other
paging mics while the 'Zone Page' button or 'All-Page' button is held. If you wish to make a page and see that the 'system Busy,
LED is flashing, it means that somebody else is paging and that you should wait until they have finished 6ight wili extinguisl)
before you use your microphone. Microphones I and 2 can page irrespective or whether the system is busy oi not, howevei they
will mute anybody at a lower priority level. As a general rule, the busy LED shouldn't be igrrored unless the page is urgent.
The PN88M has a balanced XLR line level output, as well as two 15 pin 'D Sub' connectors. These two connectors allow up to
three mics to be 'daisy-chained' thus reducing the amount of cabling required. Mics I and 2 have priority and hence need to be
wired individually to the matrix. Please note that the audio ou@ut from each mic needs to be individually wired to the matrix.
A trim (gain pot) can be found undemeath the mic. This can be adjusted to compensate for noisy environments or an unusr arly
quiet or over-zealous speaker. A 4 position dip switch can also be found undemeath the mic. The first three positions of the dip
switches identifies each microphone as either number 1,2,3.........8. The 4tr dip switch position is a bass roll-offswitch for
instances where the microphone is 'boomy', perhaps because of a lot of bass boost on the matrix.

Please note that each zone microphone must have it's address (to identify it as mic 1-8) set via the dip switches on the
bottom of the mic base. Each mic must then be plugged into the corresponding XLR and 15 pin 'D' inputs on the metrix.
When microphones are 'daisy-chained' then the 15 pin connector needs to be plugged in to the matrix input which matches the mic
that is directly on the other end of that cable. For example, lets say Mic's 3, 4 and 5 are'daisy-chained.'. If Mic's 4 and 5 are
connected to Mic 3 (which has its 15 pin connector linked to the matrix), then that 15 pin connector must be plugged in to Logic
port 3 at the rear of the matrix.
