DBX 16-Channel Personal Monitor Controller PMC16
The PMC16 by DBX is a digital remote control consisting of a monitor mixer, a reverb effect processor, and a global processing and output section. This is creating an audio chain akin to a traditional live sound monitoring system and puts it in the hands of the on-stage musician, permitting each on-stage musician to tailor their own personalized mix and permits the system engineer to focus on the front of house mix. The PMC16 Controller allows for monitoring with headphones, in-ear monitors, powered monitors, or traditional wedge monitors designed to be used with the DBX TR1616 or any other BLU link compatible device.
The PMC16 Controller has Setup & Live modes of operation. Setup mode refers to the Setup Wizard and menus, that you can see when the Wizard button is pressed. This mode is for the system engineer for initially creating the configuration and set global options. Live mode refers to normal operation and it consists of all parameters pertaining to the mix. Live mode consists of 4 pages, which include the Levels page, the Meters page, the Pan page, and the Effects page. Each musician can create their own mix by adjusting each instrument’s gain, placement in the stereo field, and front to back spatial placement, using these four pages. Channel muting and soloing are available for helping each musician focus on channels that require attention or channels which should be removed from the mix.
