CONGRATTILATIONS!
Thank you for purchasing VESTAX PMC-50, Professional M ixing Controller.
lnnovative features pioneered by VESTAX, such as User Replaceable Crossfader,
VCA crossfader operetion, Transformer Buttons and Crossfader Curve Adjustment
have been incorporated into a club mixer of highest grade. Top of the range, the
PMC-50 is high specification mixer designed to meet the most professional
requirements of Dance Music DJ's today. Please read this own€r's manual carefully
before you start to use your mixer, so that you will fully understand all of the
special fe€tures and €njoy the full us€ of the product.
FEATURES IMPORTANT
OA high specification VCA, Voltage Controlled
Amplifier, is utilized in the Crossfade system. This
minimizes noise and wear from the mechanical
Darts of the Crossfader. Additionallv' the
Crossfader "Curve" can be easily adjusted on the
front panel lor changes in Mixing styles. At one
extreme is the long running mix and at the other is
the Scratch or Cut mix.
OEach of the input channels will accept one stereo
phono and two stereo line sources, these are
instantly switchable giving a massive twelve input
capability. Each input channel has a gain control
for the setting of input levels. A levei display,
balance control and three band EQ are also
orovided on each channel. The separate Mic input
section has its own EQ.
OOne stereo input of each channel can be connected
via the top panel for quick and easy access- This is
particularly useful for "visiting" DAT players, etc.
the stereo Insertion ports are provided on the front
Opanel. These allow for the easy connlction of
outboard effects such as VESTAX DCR-UO
Frequency Separator, Compressor and Gate
machines. And the stereo Master Loop is provided
on the top panel also. This allows for total sound
control with Graphic EQ or Reverberator, etc.
The PMC-50 has the most comprehensive output
Olineup as well. No less than two separate Masters
(balanced and unbalanced), one DJ Booth Monitor'
one stereo Cue and a Headphones Monitor makes
this mixer the most versatile "MIXER'S MIXER"
available today.
