Zone Paging Microphone
Operating Manual

ProductDescription
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 (light will extinguish) before you use your microphone. Microphones 1 and 2 can page irrespective or whether
the system is busy or not, however they will mute anybody at a lower priority level. As a general rule, the busy LED
shouldn’t be ignored unless the page is urgent.
The PN88M has a balanced XLR lineleveloutput, as wellas 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 1 and 2 have priority and
hence need to be wired individually to the matrix. Please note that the audio output from each mic needs to be
individuallywired to the matrix.
A trim (gain pot) can be found underneath the mic. This can be adjusted to compensate for noisy environments or an
unusually quiet or over-zealous speaker. A 4 position dip switch can also be found underneath the mic. The first three
positions of the dip switches identifies each microphone as either number 1, 2, 3………8. The 4th dip switch position is
a bass roll-off switch for instances where the microphone is ‘boomy’ which may be a problem if the bass has been
boosted on the actual matrix unit.

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.
