5. APPLICATIONS
In the XXL PMS it is possible to manage a lot of independent signals in a professional
and easy way in order to create a personalized mixing different for each musician. In
this way every musician can mix himself all the signals and click coming from the main
mix plus, if necessary the signal taken directly from his instrument without affecting it
with any kind of noise or modification. It can drive directly professional headphone set or
self powered stage monitors and it can successfully be used both in Studio or live
applications both for single musicians, bands or big orchestras.
5.1 Using the functions of the PMS
The AUX IN inputs are used to add an additional input signal to the master signal, with
the corresponding AUX IN level control is possible to determine the volume of the AUX
IN input signal.
Example: suppose a vocalist wants to record a vocal track that is to be added to already
existing instrumental tracks or a drummer that need a click signal added to the
monitoring track. In these case the playback signal is inserted via the MAIN inputs, and
the pre-amplified vocal signal (or the click) is applied to the AUX connector or directly to
the DIRECT INPUT. Now, using both the MAIN IN and the AUX IN level controls is
possible to determine the right level of the two signals in the headphone output.
5.2 Connecting more headphones
Multiple headphones can be connected, on condition that the resulting connection
impedance does not fall below 32 Ohms. As the power amplifiers are resistant to
temporary short circuits, an impedance drop will not cause any damage; however, it can
affect the quality of reproduction, in terms of long-term damage and distortion. If you
wish to connect more than one headphone per amplifier; it is possible to use a split box
or appropriate “Y” adapters. Remember that each time that you connect an additional
headphone to a channel you reduce the resulting impedance. Consider that if you
connect in parallel mode two headphones with the same impedance the resulting
impedance will be half the impedance of each headphone.
