FEATURES
1. 4 Channels can be mixed from a total of 12
inputs. (8 line & 4 Phono; all stereo) .
2. The source input to the various channels can be
assigned to the crossfader or master by using the
CROSSFADER,/MAS?ER switch. This makes it
possible to output to sampler, rhythm machines,
etc'.., independent of the crossfader. Also this
allows normal four channel mixing.
3. Each channel is equipped with a gain control.
This allows matching of different level input
sources. This means a smooth remix can be
obtaind.
4. An ALIX assigrr switch on each input module
makes good timing and dynamic effect techniques
possible.
5. The BEAT INDICATOR functions ag
confirmation of hput signals and assists in BPM
adjustment. Use together with gain conkols for
best effect.
6. The two microphone inputs, main and sub, can
be used simultaneously. The mic channel is
equipped with 2 band EQ and Pan controls to
give the DJ best control.
7. The crossfader is specially 'curved" and has the
durability to endure hard scratching. The Vestax
Detachable Crossfader allows easy user
replacement.
8. Microphone Override or Voice Over Muting can
be adjusted easily with the talk over level and
switch.
9.The newly designed ROTARY FADER is
requested by many of Top DJ's in the world.
Perfect control of the curve mode mixing by
"curve control" is the first of its kind.
10. The monitor section has stereo cue for MIC and
PGM channels. Also the ALIX RETURN and
MASTER can be.monitored.
11. The newly employed CUE OUT provides the
stereo sound of the source selected by the cue
button without the fader affecting it.
I2.HOUSE,/LOUD system allows for three different
types of equalizer settings to be set.
I3.PMC 46 is equipped with Vt' jack (unbalanced)
and XLR (*4dB balanced) outputs. Therefore the
mixer can be matched with any commercial or
professional SR systems,)
14.The sub master output can be used for a second
master output or a booth monitor output. (same
as headphone ogtOuts but at line level.
15. The unit size is EIA 5U. Perfect for lg" rack
mounting.

1. SUB MIC (Sub Mic Input Adjustment Knob) This
knob is used to adjust the input of the sub mic
connected to the standard jack on the front panel.
2. PAN (Pan L or R)
Sets PAN of main mic connected to XLR
CONNECTOR on the rear panel.
3. EQ-HI (Equalizer High)
Auxiliary treble knob. Boosts and cuts of +12dB
are possible above 10KHz.
4. EQ-LO (Equalizer Low)
Auxiliary bass knob. Boosts and cuts of + l2dB
are possible below 100H2.
NOTE: In certain cases, it is possible to cause
distorted sound by overloading the output with
low boost. Use the master level meter to check
output level.
5. AUX SW (Aux Switch)
Used when sending signal to external effectors
connected to Aux Send,/Return jacks.
6. MAIN MIC (Main Mic Input Fader)
Adjusis the input level of the MAIN MIC
connected to the XLR connector on the rear panel.
?.IINPUT (Input Select Switch)
Used to select the input to be sent to each PGM
channel. It allows for selection of one of the three
inputs connected to the rear panel, The selections
are as follows :

PGM-2"""phono 2, Line3, Line4
PGM-3"""phono 3, Line5, Line6
PGM4"""phono 4, Line?, Line8
Al1 phono inputs are RIAA equalized. Connect
the output of a CD player or tape deck to the line
input.
NOTE: Levels are set for MM type pick up
cartridge. When MC type pick up cartridge is
used, a head amplifier is required.
8.BEAT INDICATOR
Flashes at peak level in the low frequency range
of the input source. Gain control should be set so
that the indicator flashes at 2 O'clock position.
However, fine adjustment will be required usini'
Gain control and EQ-LO controls for certain
tracks,
NOTE : There are some tracks where it will be
impossible to count the beat correctly because the
bass and bass drum are intermixed. The flashing
level can be fine tuned with Gain level and EQ-LO
control. However, be sure that the output doesn't
go into distortion.
9.GAIN
Adjusts input level of each PGM channel. Set
INPUT FADER and MASTER FADER at 7-8
position. Set MASTER LED METER to flash
occasionally at *5d8,
