The PMC16 receives audio via the BLU link audio over Ethernet protocol. When assigning
BLU link audio channels to the PMC16, each PMC16 input channel can be assigned any
available BLU link channel on the network. This allows the system engineer to send any
BLU link audio channels on the network to any PMC16, so each musician receives the
channels of audio they require to create their mix.
The output processing in the PMC16 was designed to provide the best listening experience
possible. Stereo width control allows the system engineer to optimize the outputs for
wedge monitors, headphones, or in-ear monitoring. Stereo width is completely variable,
allowing for normal stereo operation, full mono collapse of the stereo image for mono
wedge monitors, hyper-stereo for use with headphones or stereo in-ear monitors, or
anything in between. Lexicon® courtesy reverb is provided to help the mix really come
to life!
The PMC16 was designed to provide all the outputs necessary for almost any application.
Two XLR outputs are available for connecting to amplifiers and powered wedge monitors.
Two 1/4” outputs allow for connection to any balanced or unbalanced line level device,
such as in-ear transmitters or recording devices. The 1/4” and 1/8” headphone outputs
ensure you won’t be stuck with headphones that aren’t compatible.
The on-board USB, DSC, and Ethernet ports allow the PMC16 to be built upon and exciting
new features to be added in the future, ensuring the PMC16 is prepared for what lies
ahead.
