P.A. BASICS
A mixing board is actually a very simple device that takes the audio input signals (from the input channels) and “mixes” them to the outputs. The mixing board controls will typically enable the user to blend the input channel signal levels, affect their tone, and adjust each channel’s reverb level. The signal is then fed from the mixing board to the amplifiers and onto the speakers. The PRX ONE is a self-contained PA system, which includes a mixing board, amplifiers, and speakers.

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH PRX ONE
The powered mixer section of the PRX ONE system houses the mixing board and power amplifier. Here, all of the microphones, musical instruments, and external sound sources (such as MP3 players, CD players, or Bluetooth audio sources) can be connected.JBL-855PRX1-PRX-ONE-7-Channel-Portable-Powered-

    • b. Reverb by Lexicon Parameters
    1. “On/Off”
    • When set to off, the Reverb by Lexicon input is disabled. When turning this off while active, the current reverb sound will continue to ring out. To reduce it immediately, reduce the Level To Mix setting.
    1. “Reset” will set the Reverb by Lexicon to off and adjust the settings to “Room Medium” default preset, to start over as a factory default.
    2. “Presets” offers users a selection of common settings for fast selection in typical use cases. These reverb settings are named as descriptions of the types of rooms or halls they simulate.
    • Presets assist new users wanting to try quick examples of often-used reverb setting combinations.
    • The user can select “Custom” and adjust all the settings themselves. Or they can start with one of the location description presets, listen, and then add any settings adjustments, which automatically load the new combination of settings into the “Custom” setting for further adjustments.
      • Custom
      • Room Small
      • Room Medium
      • Room Medium Bright
      • Room Large
      • Hall Medium
      • Hall Medium Bright
      • Hall Large
    1. The combination of “Size” and “Pre-delay Time” define the reverb simulation in just two controls; how big the room is (Size) and how far away the audience member feels they are in regard to the performers.
    • Size adjusts the theoretical size of the simulated room in short, medium, long or longer.
    • Pre-delay simulates the ratio of time from the source signal to the listener to the delay of the first reflection off the closest wall.
    • A shorter pre-delay time will make the audience feel farther away from the source
    • A longer pre-delay time will make the audience feel closer to the source.
    1. The High Frequency parameter simulates how much high-frequency reflections are in the reverb.
    • Simulating the sound of a room with many metal or glass surfaces is an example of a scenario with more high-frequency reflections.
    • Simulating the sound of a room with soft word or outdoor settings would be an example of less high-frequency reflections.
    1. The Low frequency parameter simulates the amount of bass building in the reverb.
    • An indoor, hard surface room will accumulate more bass build-up.
    • An outdoor simulation would generate less bass build-up.
    1. The Level to Mix Parameter is the amount of wet signal (or signal with reverb) that is sent back to your main mix.
    • Increasing the level to mix will create a more prominent reverb effect.
    • Decreasing the level to mix will create a more subtle reverb effect.
    1. To adjust any parameter, navigate to the parameter using the MASTER/MENU knob. Press the MASTER/MENU knob to access.
    • Adjust the values by turning the knob CLOCKWISE or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
    • Press the MASTER/MENU knob to accept these changes. Press the BACK button to cancel these changes.
    • c. Delay – The FX Processing Delay is designed to be a musically oriented delay, commonly used on rock and ballad vocals and guitars. It is often set to match the specific “Beats Per Minute” (i.e. “BPM) of the song currently being performed, plus how many delay returns are desired per beat, how long the delay keeps returning and if the delay feeds back again multiple times.
    1. “On/Off” When set to off, the Delay input is disabled. This allows the current signal to “ring out” until the current delay signal is completed. To end the delay immediately, turn down the Delay Level to Mix fader.
    2. “Reset” will set the Delay processing settings to default settings.
    3. Presets” offers a quick selection of common settings for fast selection in typical use cases. These delay settings are named as descriptions of the types of common musical uses they simulate. Presets can assist new users wanting to try quick examples of often-used delay setting combinations. The user can select “Custom” and adjust all the settings themselves. Or they can start with one of the location description presets, listen, and then adjust any settings desired. When a user has selected a preset and then adjusts a setting, all current delay settings are loaded into the Custom preset for further editing.

    • Fast Spring
    1. “Beats Per Minute” enters the beats per minute tempo of the song planned or in progress. The speaker automatically calculates the delay times to match the beats per minute song tempo.
    2. “SubDivision” enables the user to enter the number of times the delay returns the signal per beat. For example, if this is set to “1:2” then for every beat there are two delay returns heard.
    3. “Delay Length” is the setting showing how long, represented in milliseconds (ms), the delays will continue returning for each beat. The smaller the number, the faster the delay returned signal will fade out per beat.
    4. “Feedback” is the amount of the delayed signal that is fed back into the Delay processor input, to give more depth to the delay sounds.
    5. “Low Pass Filter” can be set to reduce the relative level of high frequencies of the delay returned signal. If the user perceives bright high-frequency harshness resulting from very bright source signals, this setting can be lowered to compensate.
    6. “Level to Mix” sets the amount of final delay signal that contributes to the FX Return fader.
    • To adjust any parameter, navigate to the parameter using the MASTER/MENU knob. Press the MASTER/MENU knob to access.
      • Adjust the values by turning the knob CLOCKWISE or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
      • Press the MASTER/MENU knob to accept these changes. Press the BACK button to cancel these changes.
    • d. Chorus – The FX Processing Chorus is designed to add a musically oriented light shimmer on rock or ballad vocals and acoustic guitars. Chorus is often used very lightly to enhance the harmonic content and character, to bring out more shine on pure wave types of natural musical sources.
    1. “On/Off” When set to off, the Chorus input is disabled. This allows the current signal to “ring out” until the current Chorus signal is completed. To end the Chorus process result immediately, turn down the Chorus Level to Mix fader.
    2. “Reset” will set the Chorus processing settings to default settings.
    3. “Presets” offers users a quick selection of common setting combinations for fast selection in typical use cases. These Chorus presets are named as descriptions of the types of common musical uses they simulate. The user can select “Custom” and adjust all the settings themselves. Or they can start with recalling one of the presets, listen, and then add any settings adjustments, which will automatically load the new combination of settings into the “Custom” setting for further editing.

    3. “Width” adjusts how wide the chorus process resonates above the source frequencies.
    4. “Level to Mix” is the amount of the Chorus signal sent to the FX Return fader, which then contributes to the final mix.
    • To adjust any parameter, navigate to the parameter using the MASTER/MENU knob. Press the MASTER/MENU knob to access.
    • Adjust the values by turning the knob CLOCKWISE or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
    • Press the MASTER/MENU knob to accept these changes. Press the BACK button to cancel these changes.
    • e. Subsynth – The FX Processing SubSynth generates a complimentary bass note one octave below the current input music. The SubSynth effect is often used on music to add a very deep low frequency bass effect in line with the musical source feeding the SubSynth processor, instead of a general raise in bass EQ frequencies using EQ bands. SubSynth is relative to the incoming musical content.
    1. “On/Off” turns on/off the input to the SubSynth processor.
    2. “Level to Mix” sets how much of the SubSynth result is fed to the FX Return fader, which then feeds the master mix fader.
    3. To adjust any parameter, navigate to the parameter using the MASTER/MENU knob. Press the MASTER/MENU knob to access.
    • Adjust the values by turning the knob CLOCKWISE or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
    • Press the MASTER/MENU knob to accept these changes. Press the BACK button to cancel these changes.JBL-855PRX1-PRX-ONE-7-Channel-Portable-Powered-fig12
  4. dbx DriveRack Output is a line of hardware products produced by Harman’s dbx brand. These rack mount signal processors provide detailed control for final processing and crossovers before feeding the mix to one or more speakers. This DriveRack functionality embedded into PRX ONE is designed to optimize the combination of speaker and Pass Thru outputs built into this JBL speaker.

    • a. AFS, or Automatic Feedback Suppression, is a combination of processing that can enable the user to add up to 3 dB more total gain to their output before getting audio feedback back in through the mix inputs. dbx AFS does this using a combination of auto-sensing and very tight width parametric EQs before the output master EQ. Locked filters can be setup before an event as “fixed” filters. Plus live AFS filters can be turned on to continue chasing the latest feedback frequency risks during an event, such as changes caused by handheld microphones moving positions and directions while on stage.
    1. Stage setup best practices are always recommended for best results to avoid feedback, in combination with the AFS processing system. Microphones have less chance of contributing feedback if they follow the following position standards on stage:
    • Microphones should be behind the front plane of the speakers.
    • Microphones should be least two meters to the left or right of the speakers.
    • b. “AFS by dbx” On/Off selection toggles the AFS processor on or off.
      c. “Live AFS” On/Off selection toggles the live AFS filters on or off. Live filters are best for catching feedback on stage from microphones that are moving around the stage. Turning on “Live AFS” is the fastest, easiest way to start using AFS processing.
      d. “Reset Live Filters” will reset all live filters, prompting the filters to reset and start over in their discovery of potential feedback frequency risks.
      e. “Learn Fixed” starts the automatic discovery and setup of the Fixed AFS filters. While the microphones are plugged in before the show and speakers are turned on, enable the “Learn Fixed” function. Then walk over to the nearest mics and speak loudly into them to try to induce feedback. If no feedback is found, turn up the main volume slowly until feedback rings and is suppressed by a fixed AFS filter. Each time the speaker’s AFS system notices feedback frequency it will automatically apply a fixed filter at that frequency. Continue speaking into the mics, including moving around the performer with handheld mics, speaking loudly into the mics.
    1. Turn off the “Live AFS” while operating the Learn Fixed setup.
    2. When all fixed frequencies have been filled, the “Learn AFS” will automatically turn off and the Fixed Filters are locked on for the event.
    3. If the user is unable to get all the fixed AFS filters to complete frequency assignments, the user can manually turn off “Learn AFS” by clicking the “Learn Fixed” setting again. Turning off “Learn AFS” automatically leaves on the Fixed AFS On/Off setting.
    4. After completion of the Learned Fixed setup, turn on “Live AFS” for additional feedback suppression during a live event.
    • f. “Remember Fixed on Reboot” Speakers are sometimes used in the same setup for extended times.
      During this time speakers may be powered on and off multiple times. Turning on “Remember Fixed on Reboot” sets the fixed AFS filters to maintain their found frequency assignments on next speaker bootup. In general, most users will leave this setting turned on, in case power is accidentally dropped in between the soundcheck AFS Fixed filter setup and the event. Groups that move speakers to new locations often may desire to set this feature off, as each location has different feedback challenges, which previous Fixed filters would not assist.JBL-855PRX1-PRX-ONE-7-Channel-Portable-Powered-
fig13
  5. The Master EQ is a package of filter adjustments on the main mix before the audio feeds to the amp and speaker. It includes a collection of easy to select preset curves for common speech and music styles. Each preset can also be loaded into the Custom preset for detailed user-adjustable of output parametric EQs. The user has adjustments for individual band level, frequency, and width (“Q”).

    • a. “Master EQ” On/Off enables or bypasses the current settings in the Master EQ processor.
    • b. “Reset” selection resets the Master EQ to flat, as the default Master EQ setting when shipped.
    • c. “Presets 8x” enables rotation of the Master/Menu knob to view and select from the Master EQ presets.
    1. Scroll the menu to “Presets 8x” and press the MASTER/MENU knob.
    2. Rotate the MASTER/MENU knob to view the available presets.
    3. Click the MASTER/MENU knob to load the currently showing preset.
    4. Users can load the Custom preset, then double click the Master/Menu knob to open the Master EQ editing page. Inside this graph display page, you may rotate the Master/Menu knob to a specific parametric EQ number and click the Master/Menu knob again to select to edit the gain (plus or minus in dB), filter frequency, or “Q” (i.e. adjust the filter width.)
    • Users can load any preset as a starting point, then scroll down and adjust any setting to load the current curve as the Custom preset for further editing. A confirmation dialog will appear, warning the user that doing this will remove the current Custom preset settings and load it with the currently viewed settings.
  6. The Output Limiter provides a “brick wall” limiter on the master mix, after the Master EQ in the signal chain.

    • a. Limiters reduce the loudest parts of the mix dynamic range. Limiters can be used either for protection when playing very loud source material, or to creatively sculpt down the loudest dynamics of the master
      mix. Carefully turn up the Makeup Gain to compensate for low threshold limiter results.

    • b. “Reset” is an action command to reset the Output Limiter to the factory default setting.

    • c. “Presets” are available to recall limiter settings for common creative situations or trouble shooting.

    1. If the user selects any of the lower three settings to edit, the preset automatically loads the lower three settings to the Limiter “Custom” preset for further user editing.
    • d. “Threshold” enables the user to set the threshold level, limiting the maximum mix level to amp and speakers. All dynamic range above that level will be limited down to the maximum Threshold setting.
    • e. “OverEasy” an Enabling “OverEasy” smooths the transition before the signal reaches the Threshold level to provide a smooth limiting audio result. “OverEasy” is often selected on rock ballads or speaking panels. Turning off OverEasy is often desired on harder rock or DJ style of music program.
    • f. “Makeup Gain” can be used to raise a limited mix to pre-limiter levels. Warning: Using limiter “Makeup Gain” on already loud mixes may exceed desired mix gain levels. This setting is best used only by skilled audio professionals. Small movements are best when adjusting limiters.
  7.  Pass Thru and Time Align – Thru XLR output can be set to assist in feeding the mix to additional speakers. This section includes presets and settings based on the type of speaker the Pass Thru will be feeding and how it is positioned in comparison to this speaker and the audience.

    • a. “Pass Thru” On/Off” enables or disables the Pass Thru XLR output feed.
    • b. “Presets” enables selection of three types of speakers combinations using the Pass Thru XLR output.
    • c. “Full Range” is designed for feeding another full range speaker. This feeds both this and the Pass Thru XLR out to another speaker with the same full frequency range mix.
    • d. “Sub” preset automatically configures the below settings for isolating low frequencies and only feeding them to Pass Thru XLR out for a subwoofer speaker. Selecting “Sub” automatically sets the internal amp/speaker feed to HPF (“high pass filter”) only signal at above 80Hz and the Pass Thru XLR output to only pass the mix signal below 80Hz.
    • e. “Custom” allows the user to set the lower settings manually.
    • f. “HPF on this Speaker” can be used to remove signal below a selected frequency to the built-in amp/speaker and tweeter bar.
    • g. “LPF on Pass Thru Out”can be used to set the low pass filter on the Thru Out XLR output feed.
  8. Time Align

    • a. Signal delays are used when multiple speakers are in use but speakers are at different distances from the audience.
    • b. Examples:
    1.  A subwoofer in front of the stage, while this full-range speaker is on the stage. In this configuration, the Pass Thru XLR to subwoofer will need to be slightly delayed to make up for its closer position to the audience.
    2. The Array bar extender option is used to mount the speaker bar in a off-speaker location at a slightly different distance to the audience. In this case, delay the device closest to the audience to align with the device farthest from the audience.
    3. The Pass Thru XLR out is feeding an additional full-range speaker placed half-way back in the audience to give additional listening distance. In this case, delay the back fill speaker in the audience to compensate correct time alignment.
    • c. Time Alignment Basics:
    1. To compensate for different distances’, determine the speaker farthest from the audience and delay other speakers with the same signal to “time align” with the speaker farthest away from the audience.

    2.  Sound travels through air at average humidity and room temperature at about 1.1 feet per ms. Measure the difference in distance of each speaker feeding the audience. Feed the speaker farthest from the audience with no time alignment delay. Set delays for the other closer speakers based
      on their distance ahead of the farthest back speaker. Measure the distance difference and enter 1 ms per 1.1 feet that each speaker is ahead of the farthest back speaker in your configuration. Time alignment is not perfect as not all audience positions measure the same speaker distance differences.

    3. “Delay Pass Thru Out” Using this delay will place speaker delay on the PASS THRU Output.

    4. “Delay This Speaker” Using this delay will place the delay on the INPUT of the mixer of the current speaker.

    5. “Delay Extended Tweeters ” Using this will delay the audio signal between the woofer and the array bar.JBL-855PRX1-PRX-ONE-7-Channel-Portable-Powered-fig14

Channel Menu

  1. The channel menu can be accessed by pressing the rotary knob of the respective channel you wish to access. The active channel is visible at the top line of the LCD as well as by the dynamic LED below the respective channel number.
    • a. The MUTE field will mute the respective channel.
    1. While in mute, the SSM LED of the muted channel will fade RED.
    2. You can also MUTE a channel by holding the respective channel knob for 2s.
    • b. Channels 1-2 offers users +48v of Phantom Power. You can engage this in the Channel Menu section. Please refer to the Phantom Power section of this guide for more information.
    • c. The PRX ONE offers dbx dynamics processing on each channel, with the exception of channel 7.
    1. “Gate” enables editing of the gate feature on the first six input channels. Gates enable reduction of the signal below the gate threshold level to reduce the noise floor of the input channel. Examples include use with multiple open stage mics or when used as inputs from noisy guitar or bass amps.
    • To activate the Gate, Press the CH knob to enter channel strip mode and bring up the CHANNEL MENU.
      • To select the GATE, rotate the MASTER/MENU knob to the GATE field and PRESS the MASTER/MENU knob.
    • “Gate” On/Off. Turns the gate on or off (i.e. off is gate bypass.)
    • “Reset” sets all gate settings on this channel to factory default settings.
    • “Presets” are available to quickly select typical noise gate situations. These include setting for full gates, which shut off all signal when below the Gate Threshold setting. Or stepped gates, which only reduce the volume a fixed amount when the input signal falls below the Gate Threshold setting.
      • If the user selects a preset, the lower two settings are automatically loaded with the chosen presets settings.
      • If the user selects either of the lower two settings to edit, the preset settings automatically load the visible settings into the “Custom” preset, so the user can continue editing the lower two settings.
    • “Gate Threshold” enables the user to set the Gate Threshold level to activate when signal on this channel drops below this Gate Threshold signal level. All signal content below the Gate Threshold are reduced -100%.
    • “Gate Depth” enables the user to set the Gate Depth to only reduce the signal by a limited amount. Example: When Gate Depth is set to -10bB anytime the channel signal level is below the Gate Threshold setting level, the signal is reduced by only -10dB. When the input channel signal is above the Gate Threshold, no Gate adjustment to the audio signal is made.
      • Attack
      • Hold
      • Release
    1. “Compressor” enables editing of the input channel compressor processing. Compressors reduce the channel signal level above the compressor Threshold setting, by the amount of the Ratio setting.
    • To select the COMPRESSOR, rotate the MASTER/MENU knob to the COMPRESSOR field and PRESS the MASTER/MENU knob.
    • “Compressor” On/Off turns the input channel compressor on or off (i.e. off is compressor in bypass.)
    • “Reset” sets all compressor settings on this channel to factory default.
    • “Presets” are available to select for typical creative situations. These Presets have common compressor settings based on common use cases and can be quickly recalled.
      • If the user selects a “Preset”, the lower seven settings are automatically loaded with the chosen presets settings.
      • If the user then selects and edits any of the lower seven settings, the current preset settings are automatically loaded into the “Custom” preset for further user editing of any setting.
    • “Threshold” sets the signal level where compressor engages. All signal above that Threshold level will be compressed down by the relative adjustment of the Ratio setting.
    • “Ratio” enables the user to set the ratio to percentage the channel audio signal above the Threshold is reduced when above the Threshold setting.
    • OverEasy™ Enabling “OverEasy” smooths the transition before the signal reaches the Threshold level to provide a more smooth Threshold character transition. OverEasy is often desired on rock ballads or speaking panels. Disabling “OverEasy is often turned off when mixing harder rock or DJ style music.
    • “Makeup Gain” can be used to raise the compression result peak reduced audio signal, to now raise the dynamically reduced signal to better fit or stand out in a total mix.
      • Warning: Using compressor “Makeup Gain” on already loud audio signals may exceed desired channel gain levels. This setting is best used only by skilled audio professionals. Small movements are often best.
    • “Attack” sets the time the compressor takes to start reducing the signal after the Threshold is exceeded.
    • “Hold” sets the time the compressor holds the compressor on after the “Attack” is completed.
    • “Release” sets the time the compressor releases the Ratio compression after the audio signal level falls below the Threshold setting level.
    • d. The Input EQ section accesses the fixed and parametric EQ for each channel. The input channel EQs are filter adjustments on the audio input channels.
    1. Presets include a collection of easy to select preset curves for common creative uses.
    2. Input channel EQ’s include a high pass filter for reducing the combined low-frequency energy build-up on stage, Bass/Middle/Treble simple controls that can be adjusted on the hardware channel knobs or LCD screen, and parametric EQ bands with individual gain, frequency, and width (“Q”) for fine filter editing control.
    3. “Channel #” On/Off enables or bypasses the input channel EQ processor.
    4. “Reset” Selecting the “Reset” sets the input channel EQ to factory default, i.e. flat curve.
    5. “Presets 8x” opens the user selection of Input EQ presets.
    • Users can rotate the Master/Menu knob to see the available input EQ presets.
    • Click the Master/Menu knob to load the current showing preset.
    • With any input EQ preset showing, users can double click the Master/Menu knob to open the input EQ editing page.
    • Inside the EQ editing page, rotate the Master/Menu knob to select the HPF (high pass filter), the Bass/Middle/Treble controls, or select any parametric EQ band number and click the knob to load editing on that band.
    • On Parametric EQ bands, rotate and select different settings to edit, including gain (plus or minus in dB), filter frequency, or “Q” (i.e. adjust the filter width.)
    1. To access the channel EQ settings, rotate the MASTER/MENU knob to the INPUT EQ field and PRESS the MASTER/MENU knob.
    • e. The FX Send section accesses the sends to each respective effect. All FX sends are “post fader level,” so when a user adjusts the channel fader, the same relative level or mute is reflected on the channel FX send.
    1. To access, navigate to the FX Send section and Press the MASTER/MENU knob.
    2. Navigate to the effect send you wish to change and press the MASTER/MENU knob.
    • A clockwise turn will increase the effect send.
    • A counter-clockwise turn will decrease the effect send.
