CONNECTIONS:
1. Ensure that the POWER (1) switch is in the OFF position
prior to making any connections. This unit comes with a
15V AC (2) adapter. Plug into the rear panel 15V AC (2)
jack before plugging it into a proper power source.
2. The PMX-03 has 2 sets of outputs:
- The MASTER OUTPUT (3) jacks also connect to the
main amplifier with RCA cables.
- The REC OUTPUT (39) jacks can be used to connect the
mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus
enabling you to record your mix by connecting these units
with RCA cables.
3. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mount-
ed HEADPHONES (8) ¼" jack.
4. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mount-
ed MICROPHONE (10) ¼" jack.
5. The PMX-03 has 2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE RCA
INPUTS (6,27) located on the back panel on either side of
the RCA INPUTS. Facing the back panel, the convertible
RCA Input on your right is for PHONO 1/ LINE 1 (27). The
convertible RCA input on your left is for PHONO 2/ LINE 3
(6). Using the PHONO/ LINE SWITCHES (4,26), located
just below each input, you may convert the PHONO to
LINE and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable
medium into each input to be connected to their respective
CHANNELS (19,31). The PHONO INPUTS (6,27) only
accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO
LINE INPUTS (6,7,27,28) only accept line level inputs such
as a CD, DAT, MiniDisc, etc and require the proper switch
setting.
6. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the
RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the
GROUNDING SCREWS (5,29) located in the back panel of
the PMX-03 mixer. Attach each PHONO ground line to one
of the DUAL GROUND THUMB SCREWS (5,29). These
are adjacent to each RCA INPUT (6,7,27,28).
NOTE: Not attaching a ground may cause a system "hum."

PHONO1/LINE1-LINE 2 (17) switch located on the front
