INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the PS16 Personal Monitor Power Center.
The PS16 supplies the DC power and distributes the Monitor signal to up
to ten of the PM50s, the PM50sOB, and the PM350 units. This dramati-
cally increases efficiency and eliminates the need for multiple wall-warts
and adapter cables.
The power AND monitor signal are carried from each PS16 output using
an ordinary 1/4" stereo cable to the Monitor input of the PM50s, sOB, and
350. Using stereo “Y” adapters, up to ten of the Personal Monitor Amplifi-
ers may be daisy-chained.
NOTE: Older PM50s and PM50sOB units may need
a slight modification in order to operate with the
PS16. Any PM50s or PM50sOB WITHOUT a
ground lift jumper and mono/stereo jumper will need
this modification. Call the factory at (801) 263-9053
for details.
FEATURES
- Supplies power for up to ten PM50s, PM50sOB, and PM350 units.
- Directly supplies a monitor signal to four of the above units, indirectly (by
using stereo “Y” adapters) will provide signal for up to ten units.
- Unbalanced 1/4" and TRANSFORMER-balanced XLR inputs.

CONNECTION / OPERATION
• Connect the Send of the mixer to the appropriate Input of the PS16
(balanced or unbalanced).
• Connect the PS12 adapter to the 12VAC input of the PS16. The Power/
Status LED should light. If not, immediately unplug the power as this
indicates a short from the Ring of an Output jack to ground.
• Connect the TIP-RING-SLEEVE STEREO cables from the PS16
Outputs to the PM series Monitor Inputs. Refer to the Personal Monitor
unit owners manual for proper operation of that unit.
