Description

The PXM-12MP is a powered, multi-functional coaxial monitor designed for high output and clear audio intelligibility. It is ideal for applications where the user requires monitoring of themselves or others, particularly in situations where a primary PA is in use. Multiple inputs and tuning presets allow for a wide variety of additional applications. It can also double as a PA with the use of built-in presets and a standard speaker tripod mount.
The system features a coaxial 12” transducer with a 1.75” neodymium compression driver. These are driven by a Dynacord engineered 2-channel 700 W amplifier and digital signal processing. The components are housed in a rigid 15 mm plywood enclosure that is protected by a polyurea-based EV-Coat and an 15 gauge powder-coated steel grille. The system features multiple handles and a light weight for easy handling and portability.
Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice powered loudspeaker system. Please take time to consult the manual to understand all the features built into your Electro-Voice system and fully utilize its performance capabilities.

System features

• Multi-functional monitoring system that is useable as a floor wedge or as a mains PA.
• QuickSmartDSP features best-in-class processing. Easy setup via four presets, sub/top system-match, three-band EQ, five user-programmable presets, visual monitoring of limiter status, input level control and meters, and master volume control to optimize gain structure, all via LCD.
• 700 W Class-D power amplifier designed by Dynacord delivers up to 129 dB peak SPL utilizing transducers by EV.
• System reliability verified with over 500 hours of abuse and endurance testing.

Quick setup

To quickly setup the device, do the steps that follow:

Floor monitor, tripod, and pole mount operation

Floor monitor
The PXM-12MP monitor is optimized for floor placement.

To setup the device as a monitor, do the steps that follow:

1. Make sure the surface is stable, level, and clear of debris.
2. Place the PXM-12MP on the surface.
3. Position the speaker at a distance relative to your position so that your head is on axis with the speaker.
4. Feed the necessary cables through the cable routing hole to neatly and safely manage cable clutter.
5. Power on the system and configure as outlined in the Quick setup section.
6. Make sure that the DSP MODE is set to MONITOR 1, MONITOR 2, or GUITARCAB.

Tripod

To set up the monitor on a tripod stand, do the steps that follow:
Caution!
Tripod is not evaluated for safety with this loudspeaker. Check the specifications of the tripod stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.
Caution!
We recommend that two or more persons lift and place heavier loudspeakers. Single person lift and placement of heavier loudspeakers could cause injury.

1. Make sure the surface is stable, level, and clear of debris.

2. Place the tripod stand on the surface. The legs of the tripod should be placed as wide as possible

3. Do not attempt to suspend more than one loudspeaker on a stand designed for a single loudspeaker.

4. Lift the monitor with two hands and set it onto the pole.
   Make sure that the pole goes into the pole cup.

5. Make sure that the DSP MODE is set to TRIPOD.

Pole mount with subwoofer

To set up the monitor on a subwoofer pole, do the steps that follow:

1. Place the subwoofer on a level and stable surface.
2. Put an M20 threaded pole into the combo pole cup on the top of the subwoofer.
3. Turn the M20 threaded pole clockwise to secure the pole to the subwoofer.
4. Lift the monitor with two hands and set it onto the pole.
5. Make sure that the pole goes into the pole cup of the speaker.
6. Make sure that the DSP MODE is set to TRIPOD.
7. Set the SUB parameter according to the subwoofer specifications.

Input panel and DSP

Input panel controls
The input panel has a combination of controls and connectors for a wide variety of control and configuration.

1. LCD – DSP control and monitoring interface.

2. MASTER VOLUME – Contextual rotary and push knob that is used to adjust and navigate the DSP menu and to adjust parameters (for example Master Gain).

3. INPUT LEVEL – Rotary knob used to adjust the level of the corresponding input. The detent 12 o’clock position represents unity level (no gain or attenuation). Rotate the knob to the left to attenuate LINE level sources, or rotate to the right to add gain to MIC level sources. There is an input level control for INPUT 1, INPUT 2, and INPUT 3.

4. POWER – AC switch for switching the power ON or OFF. The LCD screen lights up when the power is turned ON, after approximately 3 seconds.

5. MIX OUT – A post-input level sum of all three input channels. This allows for the ‘mix’ to be sent to a secondary device, such as a PA or recording device. It can be adjusted in DSP to output a stereo signal (L+R) or an isolated RIGHT channel. This is ideal for connecting LEFT mains to RIGHT mains in a PA configuration.

6. THRU – An output that is parallel to INPUT 1. This is not affected by the DSP of the system. It is used to daisy-chain the signal of INPUT 1 to an external device.

7. INPUT 1, 2 – Balanced MIC/LINE XLR/TRS inputs to connect a line level signal source
   (such as mixer, etc.) or a microphone. Whenever possible, balanced signal feed is always preferable to guard against potential noise.

8. INPUT 3 – Unbalanced stereo RCA input to connect LINE-level signal sources, such as mobile devices or media players.

9. MAINS IN – The device receives its power supply via the MAINS IN socket. Use the included IEC power cord to connect the system to a stable, grounded power source. Connect the device only to an electrical outlet that is capable of providing the voltage and current outlined on the product label and system specifications.

System status

Normal

1. LEVEL – Indicates the master gain of the system in dB. The range is from mute to +10 dB, in 1 dB increments.
2. – Indicates the current recalled preset number. There are five presets available for storing and recalling.
3. E – Indicates that the current recalled preset has updated parameters and is not saved.
4. IN1 – Indicates in meter form the magnitude of signal present on INPUT 1.
5. IN2 – Indicates in meter form the magnitude of signal present on INPUT 2.
6. IN3 – Indicates in meter form the magnitude of signal present on INPUT 3.

LIMIT LIMIT indication is displayed when gain reduction is being applied to the signal. This allows the loudspeaker to continue operating while preventing the amplifier and components from exceeding their functional capability. Levels operating continuously beyond the limiter threshold must be avoided.

PK When PK (peak) is indicated, the INPUT signal magnitude is higher than what the amplifier can handle and is effectively clipped (distorted). Lower the volume of the signal source and/or lower the INPUT LEVEL by rotating the corresponding INPUT LEVEL knob counter-clockwise. The PK status must be avoided at all times. Even momentary bursts of clipped signal can severely damage system components.

DSP controls
An integrated DSP control menu allows the user to select multiple DSP system settings on the loudspeaker.
