About This Manual
General Approach
Most of this manual is devoted to describing the features and functions of the various PM5000 modules.
Since the operational design of the PM5000 is based on familiar analog console principles, anyone who is
familiar with the PM4000 or similar consoles should be able to begin operating the PM5000 without
hesitation. New features and multi-module control operations will be described in column form.
The names of physical controls such as buttons and knobs will be shown in square brackets.
The manual is organized as follows:
■ PM5000 Overview (page 10)
The names and functions of the various sections of the console are broadly described in the context of
the console as a whole. Please read this section before continuing on to the details. This section
explains the console’s overall internal signal flow and how it relates to external equipment.
■ The Sections and Modules (page 15)
Following the signal flow from input to output, the individual features and functions of each section
and module are described individually.
■ Scene Memory Functions (page 51)
Operation of the PM5000 scene memory functions, including storage of panel settings and motor fader
operations, is described here.
■ Utility Functions (page 56)
This section describes operation of the utility functions relating to overall system setup and
communication with external equipment.
■ Appendix (page 84)
Options, plugs and connectors, and other information for general operation and maintenance.
References, hints, and additional information will be provided throughout the text where appropriate.
The PM5000 Models
The PM5000 series includes three basic models, as described below:
■ PM5000-52C (52 input channels/center master)
■ PM5000-36 (36 input channels/right master)
■ PM5000-28 (28 input channels/right master)
For each model the number following “PM5000” refers to the total number of mono and stereo input
channels. The only actual difference between models is the number of mono input modules. All other
modules and configuration are the same. This manual applies to all three models.

Panel Layout
The layout of the PM5000’s functional sections in the basic configuration is shown below. In the PM5000-
52C the master output section is located in the center of the console, while in all other models it is located
to the right of the console.
Top Panel
PM5000 Overview
NOTE
In this manual the console’s main functional groups are referred to as “sections.” Each section further contains “blocks” of
functions. The basic hardware divisions are “modules.” For example, all of the console’s input modules make up the “input
channel section.” Each input channel is made up of an “EQ block,” a “fader block,” and others. In the PM5000 each input
channel is made up of two separate hardware components: an “input channel module” and a “fader module.”
PM5000-28
PM5000-52C
11
PM5000 Overview
1 Input Channel Section (page 15)
Two types of input channels are provided – mono and
stereo – but the basic block structure of each is the same.
After going through phantom power, input gain, phase
reversal, and high-pass filter stages, the audio signal
passes through a 4-band equalizer before it reaches the
channel fader. External processing gear can be inserted
into the channel signal path either before or after the EQ
block. The post-EQ signal can be sent to any or all of 12
stereo aux buses and 8 G/A (group/aux) buses. The audio
signal from the input channel can be assigned to the
stereo L&R bus and/or mono bus. On mono input
channels the signal can also be assigned to the stereo and
mono (center) buses in LCR mode. Up to 12 VCA
groups and 8 mute groups can be set for each channel’s
fader block. Furthermore, the channel on/off status,
master bus assign settings, grouping, and fader settings
can be stored in the console’s scene memory for instant
recall whenever required.
2 Master Output Section (page 26)
The master output section is further subdivided into
stereo aux master, G/A (group/aux) master, and stereo/
mono master sections. Each stereo aux master module
independently controls the signals from two adjacent
stereo aux buses (a total of 12 stereo aux buses).
Depending on the selected G/A bus mode, each G/A
master module can handle the signals from two adjacent
group/aux buses as up to 4 stereo pairs or 8 mono feeds.
The stereo and mono masters are integrated into a single
module, but are independent internally. The stereo and
mono masters receive the signals from the stereo and
mono buses, respectively, and send these signals to the
stereo and mono main outputs. Each master features a
SUB IN input and a [SUM GAIN] control for gain
adjustment. The on/off status of each master, as well as
bus assign and other settings can be stored in the
console’s scene memory.
3
Matrix Send and Master Out Section (page 35)
The matrix section is made up of 4 stereo and 8 mono
matrix mixes. The sends to the matrix mixes are all
derived from the master output section. The matrix input
section is located at the top of the master output section.
The signal from each master can be sent to a matrix bus
by turning the master’s [TO MATRIX] switch on and
using the matrix level controls to apply the signal to the
required matrix bus. The [SUB IN] control located next
to the stereo/mono master [SEND LEVEL] control
adjusts the level of the [MATRIX SUB IN L&R] signal
sent to each matrix bus.
The matrix output section is located to the right of the
matrix input section, and it is here that the final matrix
bus output levels are set. The stereo matrix buses can be
switched to function as mono sends via a utility mode
function, in which case the summed L & R mono signal
is delivered via the L and R outputs. The on/off status of
the matrix outputs can be stored in the console’s scene
memory.
4 VCA Master Section (page 21)
The VCA section can be used to independently control
up to 12 VCA groups (VCA1 ~ VCA12) set up via the
fader blocks of each input channel. The VCA master
faders function as master faders for the corresponding
VCA groups, while the [VCA MUTE] switches mute or
un-mute the corresponding VCA groups. With this
versatile system it is possible to assign a channel to
multiple VCA groups set up for different purposes.
5 Oscillator/Talkback Section (page 38)
From this section the oscillator and talkback signals can
be sent to any of the console’s master and matrix sends.
The [TB/OSC] switches in the master and matrix
sections assign the oscillator and talkback signals to the
corresponding output.
6 Monitor Control Section (page 40)
With two monitor outputs (MONITOR A & B) and
[CUE] switches on each module, any source or
combination of sources can be monitored as required.
Normally the same monitor signal is delivered via the
two main monitor outputs as well as the console’s three
headphone jacks (one at the top of the monitor module,
and two on either side of the front panel). When the
[LCR] switch is engaged the MONITOR A and B
outputs can be used simultaneously for LCR monitoring.
The [SOLO MODE] switches on the meter bridge allow
the module [CUE] switches to be used as solo switches
independently for the console’s input and output sections
(CUE/SOLO function).
12
PM5000 Overview
7 Mute Master Section (page 21)
The 8 [MUTE MASTER] switches can be used to mute
specified input channel groups, or as [DIRECT
RECALL] switches for the scene memory. Whether
these switches function in the MUTE MASTER or
DIRECT RECALL mode is specified via a utility mode
function.
8 Digital Control Section (page 49)
The PM5000’s digital control features are concentrated
in this section. One of the main functions of this section
is storage and recall of console settings to and from the
scene memory. In addition to memorizing the on/off
status of panel switches, the scene memory can also
store fader settings that will be reproduced by the
motorized channel and VCA faders when recalled. A
fader time function is provided to specify the amount of
time it will take for the faders to physically reach the
recalled settings. This section also provides access to
utility functions that define basic operation of the
console and the way it interacts with some types of
external equipment. External CF (CompactFlash)
memory cards can be initialized and used to store scene
memory data.
9 Meter Bridge (page 47)
Used in conjunction with the monitor control section, the
meter bridge’s LED bar-graph meters provide visual
monitoring of final output levels at the console’s rear-
panel outputs. Indicators are also provided to display the
status of the PW5000 Power Supply unit as well as the
console’s internal fan unit and phantom power supplies.
Brightness controls for the console’s illuminated
controls and gooseneck lamps are also provided. Other
controls provided on the meter bridge are scene memory
preview on/off and mode selectors for the CUE/SOLO
function.
) Memory Card Slot
The console's memory card reader is located on the front
panel. The PM5000 can use CF (CompactFlash)
memory cards (see page 59).
Rear Panel
NOTE
The two screws on the right side of the digital control section can
be used to attach a protective cover. The six screws on the sides of
the master sections can be used to attach a book rest or a talkback
cable. These 8 screws do not affect the mechanical strength of the
unit. Use the attached screws or M3-size machine screws 8
millimeters or less in length.
NOTE
All PM5000 inputs and outputs are balanced except for the PHONES outputs and expansion connectors. See the input/output specifications at the
end of this manual for details.

PM5000 Overview
Expansion:Connecting to External Equipment
The PM5000 is entirely self-contained and can be used
effectively on its own, but it does provide some versatile
expansion capabilities. In this section we’ll describe how
the PM5000 can be synchronized with external gear and
cascaded with other Yamaha mixing consoles.
Cascade
Two types of cascade connectors are provided on the
PM5000 rear panel: TYPE [A] for connection to a
second PM5000, and TYPE [B] for connection to
Yamaha PM4000/3500 series mixing consoles. In either
case the extra console will be added to increase the total
number of available input channels.
Type A
When the TYPE [A] connectors of two PM5000 consoles are
connected via a cross cable the functions listed below become
linked between the master and slave consoles. The slave console’s
utility mode can be used to specify reception of individual
parameters.
• VCA master section (mute & fade, fade time link).
• Mute master.
• The cue/solo setting (sync of all cue groups).
• Scene memory (synchronized storage and recall of the same
scene number).
The TYPE [A] port can also be connected to the serial RS-422 or
RS-232C port of a personal computer for offline console parameter
editing. PM5000 setup data can be transferred to and from the
console in standard CSV file format and edited in any spreadsheet
application that can import and export CSV data. The edited data
can then be directly read back into the PM5000.
Type B
The TYPE [B] cascade connector can be used to connect the
PM5000 to a Yamaha PM4000 or PM3500 series console for
linkage of the functions listed below. In this case the PM5000 will
function as the master console, there is no need to use the utility
mode to set the receive parameters. Cue/solo settings can,
however, be transmitted from the PM4000/3500.
• VCA master section (mute & fade, fade time link).
• Mute master (except for the PM3500).
• The cue/solo setting (sync of input cue only).
MIDI
The PM5000 MIDI connectors allow connection to other
MIDI equipment to provide the following capabilities:
• Program change message reception from an external MIDI
device for scene memory selection.
• Transmission of appropriate program change messages to
external MIDI gear when a scene memory is recalled on the
PM5000.
• Control change reception from an external MIDI device for
control of PM5000 panel control values.
• Transmission of appropriate control change messages to
external MIDI gear when a panel control is operated on the
PM5000.
In order to select the PM5000’s 1000 internal scene
memories using MIDI program change messages 1~128
it is necessary to use program change bank select
messages or create an program change table for the
PM5000. The program change table will also determine
which program change number is transmitted by the
PM5000 when a scene memory is recalled. MIDI
settings can be accessed via the console’s utility
functions. Also refer to the MIDI data list at the end of
this manual.
GPI (General Purpose Interface)
The GPI port allows pulse-signal interfacing with
compatible external equipment for bi-directional control
of several functions. Receive functions include
incrementing or decrementing of the PM5000 scene
memory and talkback on/off switching. GPI data can be
transmitted when a fader is operated (manually or
automatically), or when a specified scene memory is
recalled. All of these functions are accessible via the
PM5000 utility functions. Refer to the GPI Pin
Assignments chart at the end of this manual for more
information.

See the detailed descriptions of the related utility functions in the
Utility Functions section beginning on page 56.

Input Channel Section
Mono and Stereo Input Modules
Mono and stereo input modules make up the console’s
input channel section. In essence each stereo module
contains two parallel mono signal paths, and the panel
controls control both channels simultaneously.

4 [L+R] Switch (stereo modules only)
When this switch is engaged the stereo input signal is
summed to a mono mix, allowing the stereo input
modules to be used as mono input modules, as required.
5 [ø] (Phase) Switch
Engaging this switch reverses the phase (also referred to
as the “polarity”) of the input signal.
HPF Block
The high-pass filter can be used to attenuate unwanted
low-frequency noise that can adversely affect the overall
sound.
6 [HPF] Switch and Control
The filter is activated when the switch engaged, and the
control can be used to adjust the high-pass filter cutoff
frequency from 20 Hz through 400 Hz. The filter has a
12-dB/oct. cutoff slope.
EQ Block
This 4-band equalizer features
individually-adjustable HIGH,
HI-MID, LO-MID, and LOW
bands for versatile shaping of
the channel signal. The HIGH
and LOW bands are switchable
between shelving and peaking
operation, while the HI-MID
and LO-MID bands are peaking
types.
7 EQ Controls
Two controls are provided for
each EQ band: the upper “Q”
control adjusts bandwidth,
while the lower concentric
control adjusts frequency (outer
control) and gain (inner
control). The HIGH and LOW
bands additionally have a
peaking/shelving switch that
determines the band’s mode of
operation: engaging the switch
selects the shelving mode.
* For all bands Q (bandwidth) can be adjusted from 0.5 ~ 3.0.
8 [EQ] Switch
Turns the 4-band EQ block on or off. When the [EQ]
switch indicator is off the EQ circuitry is bypassed. EQ
is active when the indicator is lit.
NOTE
Stereo modules feature concentric gain controls: the inner control
adjusts the gain of the left channel and the outer control adjusts
the gain of the right channel.
NOTE
To maintain the proper subjective signal level the left and right
channels are attenuated by 3 dB.

assigned to the console’s main stereo and mono (center)
buses. The stereo and mono outputs can be used
independently, or combined for LCR output.
& [PAN]/[CSR] Control
(mono modules only)
Adjusts panning of the signal sent to the bus(es) to which
the channel signal is assigned via the main out switches
(. When the [ST] switch is engaged, assigning the
channel signal to the stereo bus, stereo panning is
adjusted via the inner control. When the [LCR] switch is
engaged and the channel signal is assigned to both the
stereo and mono buses in LCR mode, the outer [CSR]
(Center-Side Ratio) control can be used – refer to the
column below.
* [BAL] Control (stereo modules only)
Determines the stereo balance when the stereo-module
[ST] main out switch is engaged to send the channel
signal to the stereo bus.
NOTE
The above descriptions apply when the group/aux buses are used
as 8 mono aux buses (the default mode). The functions of the
controls will vary depending on the G/A bus mode selected via
the group/aux master section – refer to “Group/Aux Switching”

engage the [ST] switch and use the [PAN] & or [BAL]
* control to adjust the stereo image. To send the signal
to the mono bus engage the [MONO] switch. In all cases
the channel fader determines the signal level.
On mono modules it is also possible to send the channel
signal to the stereo and mono buses in LCR mode, using
the mono bus as the center signal. To do this engage the
[LCR] switch and use the [CSR] control & to adjusts the
Center-Side Ratio to achieve the desired LCR balance.
º Channel [ON] Switch
Turns the input channel on or off. When off the channel
signal is not sent to the STEREO AUX, GROUP AUX,
STEREO or MONO buses.
¡ Level Meter
Displays the channels post-EQ pre-fader signal level.
The [PEAK] indicator will light when the signal level
exceeds 17 dB above nominal (0 dB) level.
NOTE
The [PEAK] indicator responds to the pre-EQ and pre-insert
signal level as well as to the post-EQ pre-fader level.
LCR vs. Stereo + Mono Operation
When the [LCR] switch is engaged the stereo and mono (center) buses become linked for LCR operation and the
[ST] and [MONO] switches cannot be engaged. On the other hand, when the [LCR] switch is not engaged the [ST]
and [MONO] switches can be engaged simultaneously. In either case the channel signal is sent to both the stereo and
mono buses. The difference between these two setups is described below.
For example, mono sources are normally positioned in the stereo sound field or swept from one side to the other by
adjusting the panning to the stereo bus. This works fine when the distance between the left and right speakers is
relatively small, but problems arise in venues where the speakers are further apart. In fact, in even modest venues if
a channel is panned fully left, for example, audience members sitting on the right side of the house will hear very
little of that signal, if any. In such cases it is useful to provide a center channel, the output level of which will be
adjusted to reinforce the stereo image and provide more effective coverage. Manually adjusting the levels and
panning of the stereo and mono buses to achieve this effect can be extremely difficult, and that’s where the LCR
output mode with CSR (Center-Side Ratio) control comes in handy. With this system and an LCR speaker setup it is
possible to produce natural stereo positioning and smooth panning in large venues with a single control. The [PAN]
control adjusts panning as always, while the [CSR] control determines how the center channel responds to [PAN]
control operation as shown in the diagrams above. The more the [CSR] control is rotated clockwise, the higher the
center channel level as the [PAN] control approaches center position.

Input Channel Section
Channel Fader Block
The channel faders determine the level of the channel signal sent to the console’s master buses, and are of primary
importance in setting up the balance between the various channels in the mix. The channel faders can also be assigned to
specific VCA and mute groups for group level and mute control.
™ Channel Fader
Adjusts the out signal level from the corresponding
channel. The channel faders also affect the signal level
sent to the stereo aux and group/aux buses when the
[PRE] switches associated with the corresponding sends
are off (i.e. they are sending the post-fader signal).
£ [RECALL SAFE] Switch
¢ [FADER SAFE] Switch
Either of these switches can be engaged to prevent the
corresponding data from changing the channel settings
when a scene memory is recalled. Use the [RECALL
SAFE] switch to maintain the master bus assign switch
settings, or [FADER SAFE] switch to maintain the level
of the channel fader.
∞ VCA Indicators 1~12
Indicate the VCA groups to which the corresponding
channel fader is assigned. If a VCA group master to
which the channel is assigned is muted via its [VCA
MUTE] switch, the corresponding VCA indicator will
flash rather than light continuously. More details are
provided in the “Channel Grouping” section on page 21.
§ MUTE Indicators 1~8
Indicate the mute groups to which the corresponding
channel is assigned. More details are provided in the
“Channel Grouping” section.
¶ [CUE] Switch
When this switch is engaged the pre-fader channel signal
is sent to the console’s CUE L&R buses regardless of the
channel’s on/off status. The cue signal can be monitored
via the rear-panel MONITOR OUT connectors or any of
the console’s PHONES jacks.

§
NOTE
The channel faders are motor-drive types that will physically
move to the memorized settings when a scene memory is recalled
– after the specified “fade time,” if one has been programmed.
Refer to “Scene Memory Functions” on page 51 for details.
NOTE
Using the VCA CUE function, the post-fader channel signal can
be monitored.
NOTE
The [CUE] switches are also used to assign channels to VCA and
mute groups (page 21), as well as to specify target channels when
setting fade time parameters (page 52). Normal [CUE] switch
function is suspended while any of these operations are in
progress.

Input Channel Section
Channel Grouping
This section will describe how channels can be assigned to VCA and mute groups.
VCA Grouping
The PM5000 provides two methods of “grouping” input
channels so that they can be controlled via a single
master fader while maintaining the level relationship
between the individual channels in the group. The
traditional method is to send the channel signals to any
of the console’s 12 stereo aux or 8 mono group/aux
buses and use the bus master fader for group control.
The second method, pioneered by Yamaha’s introduction
of VCA-controlled groups in the PM3000 console, is to
directly control the levels and muting of the channels
assigned to a group via voltage control. The main
advantage of this system is that a number of different
group configurations – for different scenes in a show, for
example – can be set up beforehand and then recalled
instantaneously as needed. This type of speed and
flexibility is simply not possible using the traditional
group bus assignment method.
Assigning VCA and Mute Groups
Each input channel can be freely assigned to any of 12
VCA groups and 8 mute groups for group level control
via the VCA master faders or group muting via the mute
master switches. VCA or mute group assignment is
initiated by using the ASSIGN MODE keys in the
PM5000’s digital control section.

NOTE
The ASSIGN MODE keys include a [FADE TIME] key which
will not be discussed here. Fade time assignment specifies the
amount of time it will take the motor faders to reach the recalled
fader levels when a scene memory is recalled. Refer to the “Scene
Memory Functions” section on page 51 for details concerning the
fade time function.

VCA Group Assignment Procedure
1 Press the ASSIGN MODE [VCA] key to initiate the assignment procedure (the indicator will flash).
2 Engage a VCA master [CUE] switch to specify the VCA master to which a channel or multiple channels are to be
assigned. The [CUE] switch will flash. If any input channels are already assigned to the selected VCA master, their
corresponding VCA indicators will flash.
3 Engage the [CUE] switches of the input channels to be assigned to the selected VCA master (the corresponding VCA
indicators will flash). To undo an assignment simply press the channel [CUE] switch a second time (the VCA
indicator will go out).
4 Repeat step 3 for all input channels to be assigned to the selected VCA master.
5 If a different VCA master [CUE] switch is pressed at this point the target VCA master will change accordingly and
new channel assignments can be made. All channel assignments to the previously-selected VCA master will be
confirmed and their corresponding VCA indicators will light.
6 Channel assignments can now be made to the newly-selected VCA master.
7 Press the ASSIGN MODE [VCA] key to end the assignment procedure (its indicator will go out). Pressing any other
ASSIGN MODE key will also end the VCA assignment procedure – assignment will switch to the newly-selected
ASSIGN MODE.
NOTE
Normal [CUE] switch operation is suspended during the assignment procedure but the current cue settings are retained.

VCA Master and Master Mute Switch Group Control
If a number of input channels are assigned to VCA masters or mute master switches as described in the preceding
section, those channels can be controlled as a group from a single fader or mute switch.
VCA Section
VCA master faders 1 ~ 12 function as group faders for the assigned input channels, adjusting the output level of all
assigned channels while maintaining the level relationships between them. The final fader level of each channel will be
the sum of the channel fader and VCA fader settings. In the example below input channels 1, 3, 5, and 7 are assigned to
VCA group 1 while input channels 1 through 4 are assigned to the VCA 2 group.
In the same way, the [VCA MUTE] switches on the VCA master modules function as group mute switches for the
assigned input channels.
NOTE
The [VCA MUTE] switches function in a slightly different way than the mute master switches. When a [VCA MUTE] switch is engaged the
effect is the same as turning that VCA fader all the way down to -∞. The mute master switches, on the other hand, disengage the channel [ON]
switches of the assigned channels.

The VCA 1 ~ VCA 12 [CUE] switches function as group cue switches for all assigned input channels. When a VCA
master [CUE] switch is engaged it will light, while the [CUE] switches of all assigned channels will flash, and the signals
from those channels will be routed to the console’s cue (L&R, C) buses for monitoring.
The Mute Master Switches
Mute master switches [1] ~ [8] function as group mute switches for the assigned input channels.
Press any of the MUTE MASTER switches, [1] ~ [8], to mute the assigned channels. You can configure the channel [ON]
switches to either flash or go out entirely when muted, as described on page 25-1.
NOTE
Refer to the “Monitor Control Section” on page 40 for more details.
NOTE
If the mute safe function is on, the channel [RECALL SAFE] switches can be used to prevent specified channels in the group from being muted
when the assigned mute master switch is engaged (details on page 66). When the direct recall function is on and the [DIRECT RECALL]

Multiple Masters In
Single Modules
The master output section is made up of modules
housing the masters for 12 stereo aux buses, 8 G/A
(group/aux) buses, a stereo bus, and a mono bus. Both
the stereo aux and G/A master modules combine pairs of
adjacent masters – odd and even numbers – in each
module.
While the stereo aux master modules each handle two
stereo signal pairs, each G/A master module can be used
to handle two independent mono signals, a linked pair of
mono signals, or a stereo pair.
Similarly, the stereo/mono master module combines the
console’s main stereo and mono bus masters.

Basic Signal Routing
In the same was as the input channel modules, the only real difference between the stereo aux, G/A, stereo,
and mono masters is whether they are mono or stereo. The basic routing is the same for all signals, as
summarized in the diagrams below.
Each master receives the signal from the assigned input channels via the corresponding bus, and that signal
is summed with the signal from the related SUB IN connector and the talkback and oscillator signal (in
stereo in the stereo masters). [SUM GAIN] controls are provided at this point to allow excessively hot
signals to be reduced as necessary to prevent overload. The next step in the signal path is the master insert,
allowing external processing gear to be applied at this point. From there the signal goes to the
corresponding rear-panel master output, and/or to the corresponding stereo or mono matrix.

Controls Common To All Masters
Since the basic signal routing is common to the various master modules, all modules also feature many of
the same controls. It is the differences that, in a sense, define the character of each module type. The stereo
and mono masters have completely independent sets of controls, while the stereo aux and G/A masters
each combine two pairs of channels with two identical sets of controls. In all cases the controls on the left
side of the paired modules apply to an odd-numbered master while those on the right apply to the adjacent
even-numbered master. In the illustrations below the black bullets with white numbers refer to controls
common to all master modules.
NOTE
After the common controls have been described below, the independent controls (white bullets with black numbers) will be

Master Out Section
1 [TO MATRIX] Switch
When this switch is engaged the signal from the
corresponding master is sent to the stereo and mono
matrix. The matrix send is derived after the master fader
and master [ON] switch. Because of this the master
[ON] switch must be engaged in order to send the master
signal to the matrix via the [TO MATRIX] switch.
2 [SUM GAIN] Control and Indicator
3 ∑·PEAK Indicators
The ∑·PEAK indicators indicate the state of the signal
after summing in each master. The indicators light when
the mixed signal reaches 3-dB below clipping. When a
∑·PEAK indicator lights it is advisable to rotate the
corresponding [SUM GAIN] control counterclockwise
to reduce the sum gain to prevent possible overloading (a
maximum reduction of 20 dB is possible). The SUM
GAIN [ON] indicator will light to notify the operator
that sum gain reduction is in effect.
4 [TB/OSC] Switch
When the [TB/OSC] switch is engaged the oscillator
and/or talkback signal can be sent to any or all of the
console’s master outputs as well as the matrix. The
signal to be sent is determined by the talkback section
controls (page 38).
6 [INSERT] Switch
When this switch is engaged external equipment
connected to the corresponding INSERT IN and OUT
connectors is inserted into the master signal.
7 [RECALL SAFE] Switch
Engaging this switch prevents the corresponding
master’s settings from being changed by a scene recall
operation. The parameters to be protected can be
specified via a utility function (page 65).
8 Master Fader
Determines the output level presented at the
corresponding master output connector.
9 Master [ON] Switch
Turns output of the corresponding master on or off.
When a master [ON] switch is engaged and lit, the
master signal is available at the corresponding master
output.
$ [CUE] Switch
The [CUE] switches are used to monitor the
corresponding master signals via the console’s cue bus.
PFL (pre-fader listen) or AFL (after-fader listen) can be
selected as required. When the monitor control section
[MASTER PFL] switch is engaged, the [CUE] switches
send the master’s pre-fader signal to the cue bus. If the
[MASTER PFL] switch is disengaged the post-fader
master signal is sent to the cue bus.
NOTE
The stereo aux master modules are dual configurations, each
including two stereo master faders.
NOTE
With the initial default setup the AFL signal cannot be monitored
unless the master [ON] switch is engaged. This can be changed to
allow AFL monitoring even when the master [ON] switch is
disengaged via a utility function (PRE ON, see page 69).

master [ON] switch is engaged. However, similar to the way that
this can be changed to allow AFL monitoring even when the
master [ON] switch is disengaged via a utility function
(MASTER CUE AFL POSITION = PRE ON), an internal switch
setting can be changed to allow the G/A master signal to be sent
to the stereo and/or mono bus whether the master [ON] switch is

Group/Aux Switching
The G/A modules are all dual types that can be set for GROUP
POST PAN (stereo master), GROUP PRE PAN (dual mono
master), or AUX (dual mono master) operation. The current
mode of each G/A module is shown by the G/A bus mode
indicators.
When the G/A bus mode is switched, the actual change occurs not in the G/A module, but in the way the mono or stereo
input channel signal is sent to the group/aux buses (please refer to the block diagram). The operational differences
between the three G/A bus modes are organized in the following chart. Be sure to select the mode that best suits your
application.
NOTE
The G/A master module mode can be switched via a utility
function (page 63).

(L = odd, R = even)
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no

assigned via the [PAN] control and sent to
the odd and even-numbered G/A buses
(L = odd, R = even).
The G/A send block [PRE FADER] switch
and [SEND LEVEL] control have no

the odd and even-numbered G/A buses
(L = odd, R = even).

Cue Operation Differences In
the G/A Bus Modes
The way the G/A master signal is sent to the cue buses
varies according to the selected G/A bus mode. When
the GROUP PRE PAN or AUX mode is selected adjacent
G/A master channels function independently and the
same signal is sent to both the L and R cue buses when
cue is engaged. When the GROUP POST PAN mode is
selected, however, adjacent G/A master channels
function as a stereo pair and the odd-numbered master
feeds the L cue bus while the even-numbered master
feeds the R cue bus.
In the GROUP POST PAN mode the two [CUE]
switches on a module function in tandem so that
engaging either one will automatically engage the other
at the same time.

Stereo and Mono Master Modules
Refer to the preceding “Controls Common To All Masters” section for descriptions of the stereo and mono
master controls not included in this section.
Compared to the stereo aux and G/A master modules just described, the stereo and mono masters are
relatively simple. The stereo master controls on the left side of the module correspond approximately to
one half of the controls on a stereo aux module (i.e. the controls for one stereo pair). For maximum
convenience in practical applications, however, independent [TB/OSC] switches are provided for the left
and right channels so that the talkback or oscillator signal can be applied independently to one channel or
the other, or to both if required. Similarly, the mono master controls correspond approximately to one half
of the controls on a G/A master module. Since the stereo and mono masters feed the console’s master
stereo and mono outputs there is no need for mono mix or send-to-stereo assignment switches.

Matrix Send and Master Out Section
35
Matrix Send Section
The matrix send section is located at the top of the console’s master out section. From the hardware
standpoint it is a “matrix send block” fed by the outputs of the various master modules, but from an
operational perspective it is a separate section to which the signals from the master modules are assigned
via their respective [TO MATRIX] switches.
The matrix send configuration for each master is basically the same. From the top down there are four
stereo matrices (ST MATRIX 1 ~ 4) and eight mono matrices (MATRIX 1 ~ 8). The outputs from the
master modules can be assigned to the matrix inputs and the matrix send levels individually adjusted as
required.

The level and balance of signals sent from the mono masters (group/
aux, mono) a stereo matrix can be adjusted via the inner and outer
controls, respectively. Stereo signals from stereo masters (stereo aux,
stereo) sent to a mono matrix are internally mixed to mono at the
matrix input and then routed to the appropriate mono matrix bus.
The stereo and mono master matrix input blocks also feature [SUB
IN] controls that allow signals from the MATRIX SUB IN inputs to
be sent to the matrix buses.
The console’s talkback and oscillator signals can be fed to any matrix
bus by engaging the [TB/OSC] switch located to the right of each
[SUB IN] control (the talkback/oscillator signal is simultaneously
assigned to the L and R channels of stereo matrix buses). The
∑·PEAK indicators light when the matrix bus signal reaches 3-dB
below clipping. When a ∑·PEAK indicator lights it is advisable to
reduce the send level from the corresponding masters until the
indicator goes out.

Matrix Send and Master Out Section
37
Matrix Master Out Section
The matrix master out section is located to the right of the matrix send section. The matrix master out
section determines where the signals received at the matrix send section will finally be output, with a
comprehensive complement of [INSERT], [RECALL SAFE], and other functions.
Easiest to conceive of as an extension of the matrix send section, the matrix master out section has
corresponding independent stereo matrices (ST MATRIX 1 ~ 4) and mono matrices (MATRIX 1 ~ 8).
Since the only function of this section is to control output of the signals from each matrix bus its control
complement is quite simple, with no visible difference between the stereo and mono matrices (the L and R
channels of stereo matrices are controlled simultaneously). The only difference is the MONO MODE
indicator provided on the stereo matrices (ST MATRIX 1 ~ 4). The MONO MODE indicator lights when
the corresponding stereo matrix is being used as a mono matrix.
Engaging the matrix [ON] switch activates the corresponding matrix output (output from that matrix is
disable when the [ON] switch is disengaged). For active matrix outputs the [MASTER] control determines
the level of the signal that will appear at the corresponding rear-panel MATRIX OUT connector. External
processing gear connected to the MATRIX INSERT (MONO/ST) connectors is inserted into the matrix
signal when the [INSERT] switch is engaged. The [RECALL SAFE] and [CUE] switches function in
exactly the same way as those on the master out section (page 29).

Oscillator and Talkback Section

The oscillator and talkback sections, located to the right of the master section, are independent. The
oscillator section is capable of generating pink noise or sine-wave signals for testing and system setup via
the TB bus, while the talkback section can be used to send the audio signal from the talkback mic via the
TB bus. The [TB/OSC] switches provided on each master and matrix bus allow the talback/oscillator
signal to be routed as required.
The oscillator and talkback signals are applied to the TB bus by engaging the [OSC ON] or talkback [ON]
switch, respectively. Since the oscillator and talkback sections share the same TB bus, however, only one
can be engaged at a time. If both the [OSC ON] and talkback [ON] switches are engaged simultaneously,
the talkback section takes priority. The talkback and oscillator signals can be sent to the rear-panel
TB/OSC OUT connector by engaging the [TB/OSC OUT] switch.

Oscillator and Talkback Section
Oscillator/Talkback Signal Output
The oscillator is capable of producing continuous or burst-output pink noise, or sine wave signals from 20 Hz through 20 kHz.
Engage the oscillator section [PINK] switch to generate
pink noise. If the [SWEEP/BURST] switch is off the
pink noise produced will be continuous. When the
[SWEEP/BURST] switch is engaged the control
immediately above it can be used to set the burst-output
interval from 1 second through 20 seconds. The length of
each pink noise burst is fixed at 200 milliseconds.
To generate sine-wave signals disengage the [PINK]
switch. To select the sine-wave frequency, use the [10k],
[1k], or [100] frequency selector. If the [SWEEP/
BURST] switch is engaged the control immediately
above it can be used to vary the selected frequency from
0.2x through 2x (in 120 steps), thus making the entire
audible spectrum from 20 Hz through 20 kHz available.
When the [OSC ON] switch is engaged the oscillator
signal is output at the level determined by the oscillator
[LEVEL] control (make sure the talkback section [ON]
switch is disengaged).
To deliver a talkback signal via the TB bus an
appropriate microphone must be plugged into the
INPUT connector (input level = –50 dB). When using a
phantom-powered microphone engage the [+48V]
switch to supply +48-volt phantom power to the INPUT
connector. The [ ] switch engages an 80-Hz high-
pass filter for the microphone connected to the INPUT
connector to cut out unwanted low-frequency noise.
When the talkback [ON] switch is engaged the talkback
signal is output at the level determined by the talkback
[LEVEL] control.
NOTE
The current oscillator setting – sine wave frequency or burst
interval – can also be visually confirmed via the digital control
section message display when no other message is being
displayed.
NOTE
In order to supply phantom power to the talkback INPUT
connector the rear-panel [+48V MASTER] switch must be turned
on. When the [+48V MASTER] switch is on the +48V MASTER
ON indicator on the left side of the meter bridge will light.

Monitor Control Section
Monitor Source
The monitor out section controls output to the consoles
two monitor outputs (MONITOR A & B OUT) as well
as to the headphone jacks.
Three sources can be selected for monitoring: the stereo
master signal, input from the 2-track inputs (2TR IN 1 &
2), and CUE. The stereo master signal can be monitored
via the MONITOR A or MONITOR B output simply by
engaging the corresponding [ON] switch and adjusting
the [LEVEL] control as required. If the [2TR IN 1] or
[2TR IN 2] switch is then engaged the monitor source
will be switched to the corresponding 2-track input. Cue
monitoring occurs when any channel or master [CUE]
switch is engaged (cue monitoring takes priority over 2-
track input monitoring).

A monitor delay function is provided to allow a delay to be

Monitor Control Section
The Monitor Outputs
The two monitor outputs can be used independently or
simultaneously. When using MONITOR A and B at the
same time, the [LCR] switch can be engaged to allow the
MONITOR B L channel to function as the C (center)
channel for LCR monitoring in conjunction with the L
and R channels from MONITOR A. Engage the [L+R]
switch to sum the L and R channels to form a mono mix
which will be delivered via both the L and R outputs. If
you engage the [+MONO (C)] switch the mono master
signal will be output via L and R in addition to the center
channel.
Cue Signal Monitoring
If an input channel, VCA master, master out, or matrix
out [CUE] switched is engaged while the stereo master
or 2-track input signal is being monitored by the
system’s monitor speakers or headphones, the
corresponding cue signal can be monitored.
The cue signals from the input channel section, VCA
section, or master out section (including the matrix out
section) can be monitored one section at a time. When a
[CUE] switch is engaged in any section the
corresponding cue indicator will light: INPUT CUE,
VCA CUE, or MASTER CUE. The cue signal is derived
from different points in different sections, as described
in the chart below.
NOTE
The [LCR] switch has no effect on headphone output. When the
[+MONO (C)] switch is engaged, however, the cue C signal is
delivered to the L and R channels at the same level, producing a
similar effect.

When a channel [CUE] switch is operated directly the channel’s pre-fader signal will be sent to the
MONITOR OUTs regardless of whether the channel [ON] switch is engaged or disengaged. In contrast to
this situation, cue monitoring of input channels via the VCA section is always AFL (post fader and post
[PAN/BAL] control). For example, If a VCA master [CUE] switch is engaged, the [CUE] switches of all
channels assigned to that group will flash and only the signals from channels on which the channel [ON]
switch is engaged will be sent to the MONITOR outputs. It is therefore possible to switch individual
channels in a VCA group on or off while monitoring.
It is thus possible to monitor the PFL or AFL signal from each input channel, but a considerable shift in
level may occur when switching from one to the other. Cue trim controls are provided to compensate for
this: the [INPUT CUE TRIM] adjusts the PFL cue signal level while the [VCA CUE TRIM] control
adjusts the AFL cue signal level.

Monitor Control Section
The cue points for all masters can be switched at once.
To monitor the pre-master-fader signals engage the
[MASTER PFL] switch, or disengage it to monitor the
post-monitor-fader signals. In the latter case if the “PRE
ON” cue point is selected (before the master [ON]
switches – page 69) monitoring is possible even when
output to the house speakers is off.
As described above cue monitoring can be active for one
section at a time. Normally when multiple [CUE]
switches in a section are engaged the corresponding
signals are all sent to the monitor outputs (MIX CUE
mode). When the [LAST CUE] switch is engaged,
however, only the last [CUE] switch engaged in any one
section will be active (LAST CUE mode).
NOTE
All active [CUE] switches will be disengaged when switching
between the MIX CUE and LAST CUE modes. A neat “trick” to
disengage all cues at once, therefore, is to engage and then
immediately disengage the [LAST CUE] switch.
[MASTER PFL] Switch
[LAST CUE] Switch
The Cue Stack Function
All current [CUE] switch settings are normally
disengaged if a [CUE] switch in a different section
is engaged. When all panel [CUE] switches are
turned off monitor output reverts to the main stereo
program or 2-track input signal. In some situations,
however, the PM5000 “cue stack” function applies.
If, for example, cue monitoring is engaged for the
master out section, then the VCA section, and then
the input channel section (master out ➝ VCA ➝
input channel), and then all of the [CUE] switches
in one of the latter sections are disengaged, the cue
status of the preceding section will be restored.
Cue Stack Flow
• Master Out ➝ VCA ➝ Input Channel
• Master Out ➝ VCA
If all VCA [CUE] switches are disengaged the
preceding master out section cue status is restored.
• VCA ➝ Input Channel
If all input channel [CUE] switches are disengaged
the preceding VCA section cue status is restored.
• Master Out ➝ Input Channel
If all input channel [CUE] switches are disengaged
the preceding master out section cue status is
restored.
The cue stack function will not work if the above
order is reversed (input channel ➝ VCA ➝ master
out), or if a [CUE] switch in any other section is
engaged.

Cue and Solo
The terms “solo” and “cue” monitoring are often used interchangeably, and in some cases they are actually
the same thing. In the PM5000 and most other sound-reinforcement consoles, however, “CUE” is a signal
sent to the operator’s monitor speakers while “SOLO” is a signal sent to the speakers fed by the console’s
master or matrix outs. Since solo monitoring in the PM5000 is handled in essentially the same way as cue
monitoring, the term “cue/solo function” can be used in cases in which no clear distinction is necessary.

Basic Operation
The solo mode can be activated by holding the [SOLO
MODE] switch on the meter bridge for more than two
seconds – the [SOLO MODE] switch will flash.
For reasons why you might not be able to switch to the
solo mode, see page 66.
No change in the output signal will occur when the solo
mode is first engaged (you won’t suddenly have only one
channel blasting from your house speakers). Once the
solo mode has been engaged the [CUE] switches are
used to select the channel or channels to be soloed via
the master or matrix outs. The channel [ON] switches of
all other channels will flash and their output will be
muted.
Let’s take a look at what happens if solo monitoring is
engaged when channel 1 is feeding stereo aux 1 (L & R),
group/aux 1, and the stereo and mono masters.
Additionally stereo aux 1 is routed to stereo matrix 1 and
group/aux 1 is routed to matrix 1.
When the solo mode is active and the channel 1 [CUE]
switch is engaged, only the channel 1 signal will appear
at all master and matrix outputs to which it is routed (the
stereo aux 1 and group/aux 1 master [TO MATRIX]
switches must be engaged).
NOTE
The [PREVIEW] indicator is used for scene memory
confirmation editing (page 55).
NOTE
If you engage the solo mode during cue monitoring, all [CUE]
switches will be disengaged.

Master Solo Select
With complex, large-scale setups, the basic method of
using individual [CUE] switches to check the sends to
the main house speakers, sub-speakers, on-stage
monitors, recording equipment and other gear can be
confusing and tedious. The Master Solo function comes
in handy in this type of situation.
The four SOLO SELECT switches located below the
[SOLO MODE] switch can only be used while the solo
mode is active. These switches determine which section
will be muted when a solo channel is engaged. For
example, if the SOLO SELECT [STEREO AUX],
[GROUP/AUX], and [ST. MONO (C)] switches are all
engaged. No major change is immediately apparent, but
when the stereo aux 1 master [CUE] switch is engaged
the sub L & R speakers will automatically be soloed. In
the same way, if the stereo master [CUE] switch is
engaged the main L & R speakers will be soloed.
If the stereo master [CUE] switch is also engaged the
main L & R speakers will also be soloed. All this time
the channel 1 signal is being sent to the recording gear
via stereo aux 1. The signal does not appear at the on-
stage monitors, however, because group/aux 1 is muted
(an internal switch allows this setting to be changed so
that the on-stage monitors do receive the channel 1
signal).
With this setup it is possible to solo-monitor the stereo or
stereo aux 1 master outputs by simply operating a single
[CUE] switch, making comparison of the main and sub
L & R speakers a simple operation. The SOLO SELECT
switches are idea for this type of operation, letting you
specify which groups of outputs are to be muted when a
solo channel is engaged.

Meter Bridge
The PM5000 meter bridge features precise bar-graph meters that display the signal levels at the master
outs (stereo aux, group/aux, stereo, mono), matrix outs (stereo, mono), cue (L/C/R), and the talkback/
oscillator bus, from –39 dB to PEAK level in 3-dB increments.
The meters are switched to display the stereo aux or stereo matrix signals, or the group/aux or mono matrix
signals. The [METER SELECT] switch in the console’s monitor control section alternately selects aux or
matrix monitoring for both of these meters at once. The CUE C meter is automatically switched to display
the talkback/oscillator signal level when either the [OSC ON] or talkback [ON] switch is engaged (the TB/
OSC LED at the bottom of the meter will light).
NOTE
Since there are only four stereo matrices, meters 5 ~ 12 are not active when the meters are switched to stereo matrix level
display.

Digital Control Section
Scene Memory Functions
Overview
A “scene” is a set of panel settings stored in one of the PM5000’s 1,000 internal scene memories (000 ~ 999). Any stored
scene can be instantly recalled at any time for fast efficient changes. The first 10 scene memories (000 ~ 009) contain
preset data for common basic setups. The presets cannot be overwritten, but the remaining 990 scenes (010 ~ 999) are
available to store original setups. The parameters that can be store in each scene are listed in the chart below.
Since the parameters stored in the scene memory are the
normal panel settings used in setting up signal routing
and mixes, you can easily take “snapshots” of various
setups you might need to recall later. The preview
function can be used to check and edit the stored settings
as necessary. Stored scenes can then be recalled
instantaneously at any time.
Fade time settings can be individually stored with each
scene, so that when a scene is restored the faders settings
will, rather than jump to the recalled values immediately,
gradually fade to the recalled settings over the specified
fade time.
It is also possible to protect certain parameters so that
the specified parameters will not change when a scene is
recalled. The [RECALL SAFE] switches provided on
the input channels, master outputs and matrix outputs,
and the [FADER SAFE] switches provided on the input
channel and VCA master faders are used to specify
which parameters are to be protected for the
corresponding input or master channel, as listed in the
chart above. When a [RECALL SAFE] or [FADER
SAFE] switch is engaged the corresponding settings will
not be affected by scene recall operations, regardless of
the settings contained in the recalled scene.

Fade Time
Fade time settings can be used to create smooth
transitions between recalled scenes. The fade time
specified for a scene is common to all channel and VCA
faders, but you can individually specify the faders to
which the fade time will apply. The procedure for setting
and assigning fade times is described below.
1 To set a fade time engage the ASSIGN MODE
[FADE TIME] switch so that its indicator lights (at
this point the [CUE] switches of input and VCA
master channels currently assigned to fade time
operation will flash).
2 Press the [ENTER] key so that the fade time appears
on the message display to activate the fade time
function. The fade time function can be turned off at
this point by pressing the [CLEAR/EXIT] key so that
“OFF” appears on the display.
3 Engage the [CUE] switches of the input and master
VCA channels to be assigned to the fade time
function so that their indicators flash. Pressing a
flashing [CUE] switch will cause the indicator to go
out and that channel will be unassigned from the fade
time function (it will not be affected by the fade time
setting and the fader setting will change
instantaneously when a scene is recalled).
4 Use the [INC] and/or [DEC] keys to set the fade time
from 0.1 to 60 seconds, as required. The fade time
can be set in 0.1-second increments from 0.1 through
10 seconds, in 0.2-second increments from 10
through 20 seconds, and in 0.5-second increments
from 20 through 60 seconds.
5 When all of the above settings have been made as
required disengage the ASSIGN MODE [FADE
TIME] switch (its indicator will go out). Pressing any
other ASSIGN MODE switch will have the same
effect (the assign mode will change to that of the
newly selected switch).
6 The specified fade time and fader assignments can be
stored in a scene memory as described in the
following section. Please note that if you recall a
different scene before performing the scene store
procedure the fade time settings you have made will
be lost.

NOTE
When a scene containing a fade time setting is recalled, “FADE”
will appear on the message display while the scene fade is in
progress (unless another message is being displayed at the same
time).

Digital Control Section
Scene Store
The following procedure stores the panel settings along
with the current fade time settings (set as described in
the preceding section).
1 Specify the scene memory number to which the
scene is to be stored (010 ~ 999). The desired scene
number can be directly entered via the alpha-numeric
keys, or the [INC] and [DEC] keys can be used to
scroll through the available scene memory numbers.
In either case the selected scene number will flash,
and the current scene title will appear flashing on the
parameter display (no title will appear if the scene
contains no data).
2 Press the [STORE] switch and, if necessary, edit the
scene title (steps 2 and 3 on page 54).
If not necessary, press the [STORE] switch again.
3 The following confirmation message will appear.
4 Press the alpha-numeric [1] key to store the scene.
The scene number will light continuously indicating
that the current settings have been stored in the
selected scene. Press the [3] if you want to abort the
store operation.
Scene Recall
Stored scene data can be recalled as follows.
1 Specify the scene memory number from which the
scene is to be recalled (000 ~ 999). The desired scene
number can be directly entered via the alpha-numeric
keys, or the [INC] and [DEC] keys can be used to
scroll through the available scene memory numbers.
In either case the selected scene number will flash,
and the scene title will flash on the parameter display.
2 Press the [RECALL] switch. The scene number will
light continuously and the corresponding scene
settings will be recalled.
NOTE
Settings cannot be stored in protected scenes. If the protect
function is active, it must be turned off before new data can be
stored in the scene (page 62).

Scene Edit (Parameter No. U06)
Using this function you can change the order of stored
scenes (010 ~ 999) to match the flow and sequence of a
music or theatrical production. By then using the
“theater mode” (described later) you can directly recall
scenes in sequence simply by using the [INC] and
[DEC] keys. This function also allows protection of
individual scenes.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
one of the following messages will appear on the
parameter display. Select MOV (move), CLR (clear),
CUT (cut), CPY (copy), INS (insert), or PRT
(protect), as necessary, and press the [ENTER] key.
Move scene:
The contents of the target (“trg”) scene memory are
moved to the destination (“dst”) scene number. This is
similar to a cut-and paste operation on a personal
computer.
Clear scene:
Clears the contents of the specified target (“trg”) scene
number, resulting in a “NO DATA” scene. You can also
select “ALL” to clear all scenes (except those that are
protected).
Cut scene:
Cuts the selected target (“trg”) scene. Since there is no
associated “paste” operation, this function effectively
clears the selected scene, but all subsequent scenes are
shifted back so the operation does not produce a “NO
DATA” scene.
NOTE
The scene edit function, described below, can be used to protect
individual scenes rather than the entire scene memory. Also,
when the memory protect function is active it is not possible to
use the scene edit function or load scenes from an external

Bus Mode
The PM5000’s G/A and stereo matrix buses can be set
up to suit a wide range of applications. These settings are
saved in the console’s setup memory, and are common to
all scenes.
G/A Bus Mode (Parameter No. U07)
Each pair G/A buses (odd and even) handled by the G/A
master modules can be used as dual mono group buses
(GROUP PRE PAN), a stereo group bus (GROUP POST
PAN), or dual mono aux buses (page 32). The main
difference between the aux and group mode is that in the
aux mode the input-module [PRE] switch can be used to
determine whether the signal is sent to the G/A bus pre-
or post-fader, while in the group mode the send is always
post-fader. The difference between the two group modes
is that in mono mode the send is pre-pan (i.e. before the
[PAN/BAL] control), while in the stereo mode the send
is post-pan.

Safety and Protection Functions
This category includes a number of “recall safe”
functions that can be set to protect specific parameters
when a scene is recalled, thus maintaining the settings of
the protected parameters. There’s also a solo safe
function that can prevent improper operation of the solo
system from playing havoc with the console’s output by
either making it impossible to engage the solo mode, or
by preventing muting of specified input channels when
the solo mode is engaged. These settings are saved in the
console’s setup memory, and are common to all scenes.
Group Assign Safe (Parameter No. U09)
This function prevents changes to input-channel mute
and VCA group assignments due to scene recall
operations, maintaining the current settings. The group
assign safe function can be applied to all mute groups
and/or all assign groups.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
it will become possible to select the target group:
select MUTE or VCA and press the [ENTER] key.
2 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys to select ON
(protected – scene recall has no effect) or OFF (not
protected – scene recall will affect settings).
G/A Bus Assign Safe (Parameter No. U10)
This function prevents changes to the G/A master
module [TO ST] and [TO MONO] switch settings due to
scene recall operations, maintaining the current settings.
The G/A bus assign safe function applies to all G/A
master modules.

Recall Safe Select (Parameter No. U11)
Each input, VCA master, master out, and matrix out
channel on the PM5000 features [RECALL SAFE] and
[FADER SAFE] switches that can be used to protect all
of the corresponding channel’s settings or just the fader
setting from scene recall operations, allowing the
specified settings to be maintained while scene recall
operations only affect unprotected channels or settings.
This functions as the master ON/OFF switch for entire
recall safe system. There’s also a mute safe function for
all input channels which, when active, exempts the
channels on which the [RECALL SAFE] switch is
engaged from MUTE MASTER switch mute operation
when the channel is assigned to a mute group.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
it will become possible to select the target function:
select RCL SAFE (recall safe) or MUT SAFE (mute
safe) and press the [ENTER] key.
Recall Safe:
Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the recall safe function
for all [RECALL SAFE] switches.
Mute Safe:
Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the mute safe function
for all input-channel [RECALL SAFE] switches.
2 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys to turn the selected
function ON or OFF.
Solo Enable (Parameter No. U12)
Enables or disables the console’s solo function. If
DISABLE is selected here the meter-bridge [SOLO

function cannot be changed while the solo mode is
engaged.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and use
the [INC] and [DEC] keys to select ENABLE (solo
mode enabled) or DISABLE (solo mode disabled).
NOTE
Protecting input channels from mute operation using the
[RECALL SAFE] switch is not affected by the master recall safe
ON/OFF setting. Although the same [RECALL SAFE] switch is
used for both scene-recall and mute protection, the two functions
are essentially unrelated. If, for example, the recall safe master
setting is OFF but the mute safe function ON, engaging a
[RECALL SAFE] will protect the corresponding channel from
mute master operation but not from scene recalls.

Input Solo Safe (Parameter No. U13)
The PM5000 allows independent solo monitoring for the
input channel, VCA and master sections: when the solo
mode is active only channels on which the [CUE] switch
is engaged are output while all other channels are muted.
The input solo safe function can be applied to specified
input channels so that they are not muted when the solo
function is engaged.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
it will become possible to select the input channel to
which the solo safe function will be applied (the last
selected channel will initially be displayed).
2 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys to select an input
channel, then press the [ENTER] key.
3 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys to turn the function
ON (the channel will be muted when solo is
engaged) or OFF (the channel will not be muted
when solo is engaged).
4 Set the solo safe function for other input channels as
required.
Monitor
These functions are used to set up the operator’s
monitoring environment and monitor output parameters.
The three monitor functions described in this section are
stored in the PM5000 setup memory and are common to
all scenes.
Monitor Mode (Parameter No. U14)
The console’s three monitor sources are the cue signal,
2-track inputs, and stereo master signal, with priority in
the order just listed. In other words, if the [CUE] and
[2TR IN1/2] switches are off the stereo master signal
will normally appear at the monitor outputs at all times.
In some situations, however, you might want to have no
signal at the monitor outputs during normal operation.
This function determines whether the stereo master
signal will or will not normally appear at the monitor
outputs.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select STEREO (the stereo
master signal will normally appear at the monitor
outputs) or MUTE (the stereo master signal will not
normally appear at the monitor outputs).

Monitor Delay (Parameter No. U15)
When the monitor speakers are located a significant
distance from the main house speakers the resulting
delay between the two sources can severely reduce the
intelligibility of the sound. In such situations the
PM5000’s internal digital delay system can be used to
delay the monitor output so that it becomes “time
aligned” with the main house sound for maximum
clarity.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
one of the monitor delay parameters will appear on
the parameter display: DELAY (the master delay
switch), UNIT (the delay units to be used:
milliseconds, feet, or meters), or TIME (the actual
delay value). Normally you will start by turning the
DELAY parameter ON, and then set the delay time
as required. Select a parameter and press the
[ENTER] key.
Master switch:
Turns the monitor delay ON or OFF. When ON the
MONITOR DELAY LED will light.

Master Cue AFL Position (Parameter No. U16)
The cue signal from each master section can be switched
to pre- or –post-fader via the [MASTER PFL] switch in
the monitor control section (page 43). This function
determines whether the cue signal is taken from before
or after the master [ON] switch. If the cue signal is taken
from before the master [ON] switch it will appear at the
monitor outputs even if the main outputs are turned off.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select POST (normal
operation: post master [ON] switch) or PRE (pre master
[ON] switch).
Scene Recall
The following functions can provide maximum scene
recall efficiency in a wide range of applications. You can
also turn the scene memory function off altogether to
prevent accidental operation. These settings are stored in
the PM5000 setup memory.
Theater Mode (Parameter No. U17)
When the theater mode is engaged it is possible to
directly recall scenes in sequence using only the [INC]
and [DEC] keys. This only applies to scene numbers 010
through 999, and empty “NO DATA” scenes will
automatically be skipped.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select ON (theater mode on) or
OFF (theater mode off).
CUE POSITION
POS:POST ON
NOTE
When using the theater mode it can be handy to specify a
“temporary scene.” This can be done simply by entering a scene
number via the alpha-numeric keys and pressing [ENTER] (don’t
press [RECALL]). Then, regardless of the currently active scene,
the [INC] and [DEC] keys will increment or decrement and
directly select scenes starting from the specified temporary scene
number. This ability to “pre load” a specific scene can make
critically-timed transitions much easier to execute.
NOTE
GPI input (page 72) and MIDI control change messages (page 77)
can also be used to effect scene changes.

Fader Mode (Parameter No. U18)
Normally the console’s motor fader system will
physically move the faders to recalled settings when a
scene recall or preview operation occurs. This function
makes it possible to defeat the motor-drive system so
that the faders do not move when scenes are changed
(the faders levels do change internally).
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select ON (motor faders ON)
or OFF (motor faders OFF).
Automation (Parameter No. U19)
This function can be used to turn the PM5000’s scene
memory off. When the scene memory function is turned
off all recall, preview, motor fader, safe switch, MIDI,
and GPI functions are also disabled so that the PM5000
functions like a tradition analog console.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select ON (scene memory ON)
or OFF (scene memory OFF).
NOTE
When the motor faders are turned off level changes will result in a
mismatch between the internal fader levels and the physical fader
positions. This situation is indicated by a flashing [FADER
SAFE] switch. If you want to match the fader’s position with the
internal level either press the [FADER SAFE] switch or move the
fader slightly. In either case the motor drive for that fader will be
temporarily engaged and the fader’s position will be adjusted to
match the internal level (after this has been done the [FADER
SAFE] switch will stop flashing and will either light or go out
according to the current fader-safe status).
NOTE
When the console is turned on the faders will initially move to
match the internally set levels even if the fader mode function is
OFF.

assignments will be automatically changed accordingly.
NOTE
When the MUTE MASTER switches are set for direct recall

GPI
The PM5000’s rear-panel GPI port provides 3 input and
8 output channels for GPI pulse communication with
external equipment. One of the input channels controls
talkback on/off (same function as the TB [ON] switch).
One of the functions in this section determines whether
or not the remaining two input channels are active for
scene increment and decrement control. The second
function determines which of the 8 output channels are
used for fader start signal transmission and scene
linking.
Scene Inc/Dec (GPI In) (Parameter No. U21)
The GPI inputs can be used for sequential incrementing
or decrementing of the PM5000 scene memory from
external equipment. Scenes 010 through 999 can be
recalled using this capability, and empty “NO DATA”
scenes are automatically skipped. These settings are
maintained in the PM5000 setup memory.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select ON (GPI scene recall
enabled) or OFF (GPI scene recall disabled).
GPI Out (Parameter No. U22)
This function makes it possible to specify the GPI
outputs to be used for fader start control (a signal is sent
when a fader is raised above –60 dB or lowered to -∞)
and for scene linking. Although 8 GPI outputs are
provided so that these operations can be separated, it is
possible to assign control to the same GPI outputs. Fader
start settings are maintained in the console’s setup
memory and are common to all scenes, while scene link
settings apply to the current scene and are stored in the
scene memory via a scene store operation.
Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and a
display like the one shown below will appear. Use the
[INC] and [DEC] keys to select either the FADER
START or SCENE LINK function for setup.
NOTE
Scene incrementing and decrementing via the GPI port is slightly
different from the way the panel [INC] and [DEC] keys function
in that incrementing and decrementing will always occur from the
current scene – the “temporary scene” that can be used with the
[INC] and [DEC] keys (page 69) cannot be used with GPI port
control. If the preview function is active and a GPI scene change
command is received, the preview function will be disengaged.

● Fader Start
1 After selecting FADER START and pressing the

will appear. The example display indicates that the
input channel 34 fader (“CH34”) will produce a
signal at GPI output number 3 (“GP3”) when fader is
raised above –60 dB (“STR”).
2 Using the [INC] and [DEC] keys to set each
parameter and the [ENTER] key to move on to the
next parameter, set the fader start parameters in
sequence as required: channel, fade type (STR or
END), and the GPI output number. To prevent
operational errors select “---” for GPI outputs you do
not intend to use. The first of the two example
displays below shows the channel 21 fader set to
produce a signal at GPI output number 5 when the
fader is lowered to -∞, while the second example
shows the channel 21 fader set to produce no GPI
output.
3 Set other channels in the same way, as required.
● Scene Linking
1 After selecting SCENE LINK and pressing the
[ENTER] key a display like the one shown below
will appear.
2 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys or the alpha-numeric
keypad to select the GPI output to be used for scene
linking of the current scene, and then press
[ENTER]. If you do not want GPI output to be
produced when the current scene is recalled set this
parameter to “---” to prevent operation errors.
3 Perform a scene store operation to store the settings
you have just made to the scene memory (page 53).
Note that your scene link settings will be lost if you
recall a different scene before storing the settings.
NOTE
Fader start signal output occurs with both manual and motor-
driven fader operation (and is enabled even when the console’s
motor drive system is disabled). For this reason it is important to
consider whether you want GPI output triggered by both manual
fader and automatic scene recall operations when making GPI
output settings. Remember that if you set a fader to produce GPI
output when it is moved manually, a scene recall that moves the
fader in the same range will also produce GPI output.

Cascade
The PM5000 allows cascade connection to other consoles for master-slave operation. Two types of cascade connection
are possible: type “A” for cascade connection of two PM5000 consoles, and type “B” for connection to PM4000/3500
series consoles (in the latter case the PM5000 is the master console).
A standard 9-pin RS-422 cross cable can be used for type A connection. A dedicated straight cable must be used for type
B connection. Refer to the appendix of this manual for connector pin assignments.
Please observe the following points when making cascade connections:
• Make sure the power to both consoles is off when connecting the cascade cable.
• After making the cascade connection, turn both consoles on and wait for all start-up processing to finish
before operating the consoles. Also, do not operate one console while the other is turned off.
NOTE
The two cascade connection types cannot be used simultaneously. If both types of connection are made the type A connection will take priority.
By connecting the master outs and matrix outs of the slave console to the master out and matrix out SUB IN connectors of the master PM5000
console the slave console can be used as an “expansion” console, increasing the number of available channels.
NOTE
On the salve PM5000 cascade-connected by TYPE A connector, setup memory data cannot be loaded from a memory card.

Linked Functions
When two PM5000 consoles are cascaded for channel expansion complete functional linking can be achieved as well
(you can specify which functions are to be linked as described below). It is advisable only to link the functions you
intend to use, however, to prevent confusion. The CUE function, in particular, can be bi-directionally linked between the
consoles so that, for example, if an input channel on the slave console is cued channels in the same CUE group on the
master console will also be engaged.
O: Linked, X: Not linked
Since the functions provided by the PM5000 and other consoles differ, the functions that can be cascade-linked differ as well.
*1 PM3500 series consoles have no mute group function.
*2 The PM4000M (monitor version) has no solo function.

MIDI
The MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU connectors provided on
the rear panel allow PM5000 operation to be linked to
external MIDI devices. If the PM5000 MIDI OUT
connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of an
external device, the external device can be controlled by
operations performed on the PM5000. On the other hand
if the MIDI OUT of the external device is connected to
the MIDI IN of the PM5000, the external device can
remotely control the PM5000. The connections can also
be made both ways, allowing bi-directional control. The
MIDI THRU connector can be used to retransmit MIDI
commands received at the MIDI IN connector to another
MIDI device.
If the MIDI Echo Back function is turned on (page 82),
MIDI commands received at the PM5000 MIDI IN
connector are mixed with internally generated MIDI
commands and transmitted via the MIDI OUT
connector.
MIDI commands that can be used with the PM5000 can
be largely divided into Program Change and Control
Change commands. The former apply to scene recall
operations, while the latter apply directly to fader and
switch operation. In other words, program change
commands received from an external MIDI controller
can be used to recall PM5000 scenes, while control
change commands can be used to directly control the
faders and switches.
MIDI provides a greater range and degree of control than
the GPI interface. You could, for example, use MIDI to
continuously vary a stage lighting effect in response to a
PM5000 fader operation.
In order to effectively use the PM5000’s MIDI
capabilities it is necessary to have a good grasp not only
of the MIDI standard itself, but of the MIDI functions
provided by both the PM5000 and the external MIDI
devices used as well. For example, although the standard
MIDI program change numbers only allow selection of
128 program numbers, the PM5000 has 1000 scene
memories that need to be accessible. In the same way,
the basic MIDI standard provides control change
capability for up to 128 different parameters – a figure
that is exceeded by the PM5000’s controllable faders and
switches by a wide margin.

Program Change
The PM5000 employs a number of “strategies” to ensure
full functionality with the standard MIDI
implementation. For example, in order to be able to
handle recall of all 1,000 PM5000 scenes via MIDI
program change commands, bank select commands (a
type of control change command) are used in
conjunction with the program change messages in the
same way that they are used in many synthesizers and
tone modules. The parameters described below can be
used to create a “program change table” that specifies
which scene numbers will be recalled by which MIDI
bank and program change numbers. The reverse is true,
too: when a scene is recalled via the PM5000 controls
the corresponding bank and program change numbers
can be transmitted to an external MIDI device.
In order to provide the most flexible operation with
external MIDI devices, the PM5000 provides two MIDI
program change modes: SINGLE and MULTI. Sixteen
MIDI channels (1 through 16) are available for
transmission and reception of MIDI commands, and in
large MIDI setups it is common to assign a different
channel number to each MIDI device so that programs
can be recalled independently on each device.
Also part of the standard MIDI implementation is an
“OMNI” mode which, when enabled, allows commands
to be received on any or all 16 MIDI channels. When the
OMNI mode is disable MIDI commands can only be
received via the device’s specified MIDI channel(s). The
PM5000 takes advantage of this situation in the SINGLE
mode, using four combinations of bank select number,
OMNI ON/OFF status, and a separately specifiable
MIDI receive channel to specify how the program
change table will be used for scene recall.

Note that the PM5000 uses the same number of bank and MIDI channel numbers (1 ~ 16). If the bank number referred to
in the program change table is limited to the same number as the receive channel, then a maximum of 128 scenes can be
recalled from an external device. But if bank select numbers are used, and if the MIDI channel numbers embedded in
received program change commands are converted to bank numbers, all 1,000 scenes can be recalled directly from an
external device. In the same way scene recall operations performed on the PM5000 the corresponding program change
commands can be transmitted according to the above conversion table.
Control Change
Control change command reception and transmission are relatively simple compared to program change commands.
Each PM5000 fader and switch is pre-assigned a number that is used for both reception and transmission.
* The number of input channels refers to the number of input modules. There is no differentiation between mono and stereo modules.
For example, to control the fader levels of input channels 1 ~ 30 from an external device, set the MIDI channel to “1” and
specify the control numbers (01 ~ 05, 07 ~ 31) and the control value as required. Normally the control value is a number
from 0 to 127 (7 bits), but higher resolution is required for fader control. For this reason the PM5000 uses two values –
MSB and LSB – to provide 1,024-step control (the MSB and LSB are both 7-bit values providing a total of 14 bits, but
only the highest 10 bits are actually used).
NOTE
The above explanation may seem a little confusing, but this system has been implemented to allow effective connection with the widest possible
range of external MIDI devices. For example the SINGLE mode (OMNI OFF, BANK OFF) allows some control even with external MIDI devices
that have limited capabilities. If an external MIDI device is capable of bank number transmission it can be used to recall scenes on the PM5000. If
the PM5000 OMNI mode is enabled scene recall can be effected from multiple external MIDI devices. You could also organize your scenes in the
PM5000 scene memory into banks, transmitting the appropriate bank numbers from the controlling MIDI device to access your scenes.
NOTE
Bank select messages should be transmitted as a pair of MSB (CC#10) and LSB (CC#32), and the MSB value should be always set to “0”. The
bank numbers can be specified by LSB value (0 ~ 15).

● NRPN Control
In the PM5000 NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter
number) data can be used for the same control functions
as control change commands. NRPN is actually a subset
of the MIDI control change numbers (CC#99, 98), and is
commonly employed to allow system exclusive data
transfer between different devices. Because of their
special status, NRPN commands are omitted from the
control change commands (refer to the above chart).
The PM5000 panel controls can be controlled using
either control change or NRPN commands. The
parameters described below allow control change and
NRPN control to be independently enabled and disabled
as required. If both are enable control change commands
take priority.
MIDI Program Change (Parameter No. U24)
Determines whether the PM5000 will transmit and
receive program change commands. The program
change table to be used is also specified here.
1 Press [ENTER] after selecting the above display and
a display like the one shown below will appear. Use
the [INC] and [DEC] keys to select the required
setting, then press the [ENTER] key.
OFF:
Program change commands will not be transmitted or
received.
ON:
The corresponding program change command will be
transmitted when a successful scene recall operation
has been executed, but no data will be transmitted
when an empty “NO DATA” scene is recalled.
LOCAL:
The corresponding program change command will be
transmitted whenever a scene recall operation is
performed, regardless of the results.
2 Use the [INC] and [DEC] keys to select the program
change table to be used: either the pre-programmed
DEFAULT program change table, or the user-
programmable USER table.
DEFAULT:
The pre-programmed program change table.
USER:
A user-defined program change table configured via
the function described on page 83.
NOTE
As with program change commands, control change commands
are transmitted and received via specific MIDI channels. The
transmit and receive MIDI channels specified by the following
parameters (TX CH, RX CH), however, do not directly affect
control change operation (they do affect NRPN and scene number
increment/decrement control which has independently
programmable transmission and reception).
NOTE
If the MUTE MASTER switches are assigned to direct scene
recall (page 71), MUTE MASTER control via control change
commands will be ignored. If the preview mode is active any
received control change or NRPN commands will affect the
currently active scene rather than the scene being previewed.
Also, continuous level variations produced by fade time
variations between scene changes will not be transmitted.

of MIDI channel/bank number, program number, and
scene number parameters, but the way it operates will
depend on the MIDI mode setting (page 78). The table
can be initialed to return it to the initial factory-preset

external program change commands. The program change
command transmitted by a PM5000 scene recall operation,
however, will always be unique. The program change data
transmitted (MIDI channel/bank number and program change
number) will depend on the selected MIDI mode and other

The following optional (sold separately) modules and
transformer are available:
● Input Section Modules
•MNM5000: Monaural input module.
•MNR5000: Rear panel for monaural input module
(includes wiring).
• STM5000: Stereo input module.
• STR5000: Rear panel for stereo input module
(includes wiring).
● Master Section Options
• SAM5000: Stereo Aux master module.
• GAM5000: Group/Aux master module.
•SMM5000: Stereo/Mono master module.
•MON5000: Monitor module.
● Other Options
• BLM5000: Blank module (includes rear panel).
• ITR5000: Input transformer.
The process of replacing faulty modules or changing
internal switch settings requires removal and
replacement of the modules. A Philips-head (“+”)
screwdriver will be required.
Before performing any of the operations described
below be sure that the power supply is turned OFF.
Module Removal and Replacement
The procedure for removal of top-panel modules is the
same for the input and master section.
● Top-panel Module Removal
1 Turn the console’s power supply OFF.
2 Loosen the screws at the top and bottom of the
module.
The screws are fitted with stop-washers that prevent
them from being removed entirely.
3 Once loosened, grasp both screws firmly and pull
straight upward to remove the module. This
completes removal of master modules.
The mono and stereo input modules are wired to the
rear panel. Exercise caution when removing the
modules so as not to damage the wiring. Once the
module being removed is free of the top panel, gently
lay it on its side on the top panel, without placing
undue strain on the wiring.
Appendix

4 Unplug the wiring connectors at the top (rear) end of
the module that connect the module to the rear panel.
There are two connectors on both mono and stereo
modules, but their locations are slightly different.
5 Press the snap button on the wiring harness to release
the wire bundle, then remove the wiring from the
module. When removing the wiring, be careful that
the connectors don’t get caught on the module frame.
This completes removal of the input module.
● Removing Rear Panel Input Units
When removing rear-panel input units that correspond to
each mono and stereo input channel (these are available
as options), it is necessary to first remove the
corresponding input channel and all connected wiring, as
described above.
1 Make sure that the rear-panel unit you are about to
remove corresponds to the input channel you have
removed, then unscrew the upper and lower screws
and remove the input unit.
2 Press the snap button on the wiring harness to release
the wire bundle, then remove the wiring from the
console frame. Carefully pull the wiring and
connectors through the rear-panel opening, making
sure that the connectors don’t catch on any part of the
console frame.
This completes removal of the rear-panel unit.

● Module Installation
The module installation procedure is the reverse of the
removal procedure described above.
Rear Panel Input Units
First pass the wiring through the opening in the rear
panel and pull it through to the open module area. Then
attach the rear-panel unit with two screws.
Top-panel Modules
When an input module is being installed it is first
necessary to connect the wiring from the corresponding
rear-panel input unit to the connectors on the module and
secure the wire bundle in the wiring harness.
When inserting the module into the console make sure
that the connectors on the bottom of the module are
aligned with the corresponding connectors on console
frame. Input modules have two connectors (see the
illustration below), while master modules have three.
Guide pins are provided to make alignment easy – as
long as the guide pins are properly inserted into the
corresponding holes on the bottom of the module frame
alignment should be almost automatic. Insert the module
firmly until its panel is flush with the console top, but
avoid using excessive force.
Finally, secure the module with the two screws.
Input Transformer Installation
The PM5000 input modules feature electronically
balanced inputs that do not normally require any
additional isolation. If you would rather have
conventional transformer-isolated balanced inputs,
optional ITR5000 input transformers can be installed.
The number and location of input transformers is
different for mono and stereo input modules. The
installation procedure is outlined below.
● Transformer Installation On Input modules
1 Turn the console’s power supply OFF.
2 Remove the mono or stereo console on which the
transformer(s) is to be installed as per the module-
removal instructions above.
3 Attach the transformer to the mounting bracket
supplied with the ITR5000 transformer kit with the
nut as shown in the illustration. Make sure that the
transformer leads are positioned in relation to the
mounting bracket as shown in the illustration (the
transformer leads must not be clamped between the
transformer and mounting bracket).
4 Attach the transformer to the bottom stay of the
module. Align the screw holes in the transformer
mounting bracket with the screw holes just in front of
(toward the fader end of the module) the square hole
through provided for the transformer leads as shown
in the illustration below, and secure with the two
small M3 screws. On mono modules the transformer
should face toward the front (fader) end of the
module, and on stereo modules the second
transformer should be mounted on the other side of
the square lead hole, facing in the other direction so
that the lead hole is not obstructed.
NOTE
When a module and/or rear-panel unit has been sent out for repair
and the module slot is likely to be empty for a while, it is a good
idea to install the blank module panels (BLM5000) to prevent
objects from falling into the console and potentially causing
damage. The BLM5000 blank module option includes blank
panels for both the top-panel and rear-panel.
Guide pins
NOTE
The input impedance will change when the transformers are

Internal Switch Settings For Each module
As you tell from the PM5000 block diagram, each module has a number of internal switch settings. These settings can be
changed to “customize” the PM5000 signal flow to most ideally suit your mixing requirements.
The chart below lists the switches and their functions. In some cases two switches must be set appropriately to specify a
function. When changing internal switch settings make only the necessary changes while referring to the block diagram.

PM5000 Self-diagnostic Function
The PM5000 automatically performs a battery of
internal tests when the power is turned on. If no
problems are encountered the scene number will appear
on the display and normal operation will be possible.
If a system or other internal error is found console
operation will be suspended and/or an error message will
appear on the display.
If an error message appears, refer to the Error Messages
on page 94.
Initializing the Internal Memory
If an error occurs during the self-diagnostic memory
check (above), normal operation can sometimes be
restored by initializing the internal memory (initial
factory setup).
The memory initialization procedure described below
can also be used to return the memory to a blank state
prior to re-programming for the next show or tour.
1 Turn the console power ON while holding the
[STORE] key to start the initialization procedure.
2 Press the alpha-numeric keypad [1] key to initialize
the memory.
Press the [3] key to abort the initialization operation.
3 Normal operation resumes once the memory has
been initialized.
NOTE
The scene memory, setup memory, and MIDI program change
table are all initialized by this operation. If you want to keep any
of the data be sure to save it to an external memory card before
initializing the memory.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause & Solution
Power won’t turn on.
Panel displays and illumination won’t light.
• Is the dedicated PW5000 properly connected via the supplied power cable?
• Is the PW5000 [POWER ON/OFF] switch in the ON position?
• Is the [PANEL LED DIMMER] control on the meter bridge turned all the way down?
• If all of the above check out OK and the power still won’t turn on, contact your
Yamaha dealer or service center.
A cascade-connected slave PM5000 or PM4000/3500
doesn’t respond.
•Are you connected to the right connector? The TYPE A connector is for connection
between two PM5000 consoles, while the TYPE B connector is for connection to a
PM4000/3500 console.
• If you’re using the TYPE A connector is the [MASTER/SLAVE] switch set properly
(page 74)?
• If you’re using the TYPE B connector is the PM4000/3500 set to SLAVE mode?
(Refer to the PM4000/3500 manual).
•Are both the TYPE A and TYPE B connectors connected? If both are connected the
TYPE A connector will take priority.
An external device connected to the GPI connector
doesn’t respond.
•Are the GPI OUT scene link and fader start functions accessible via the utility mode
set appropriately (page 72)?
•Have you selected the same port number for scene link and fader start control (page
73)?
The PM5000 doesn’t response to control from an
external GPI device.
• If you intend to use the scene increment/decrement function, is SCENE INC/DEC
turned ON (page 72)? Also are scenes actually stored in scene numbers 010 ~ 999?
No sound input. • Is the input channel [ON] switch engaged?
• Is the input channel fader set to an appropriate level?
•Have you engaged the [CUE] switch of a channel that is receiving no input while the
SOLO mode is engaged?
• Is the VCA fader assigned to the input channel set to an appropriate level? Is a [VCA
MUTE] or [MUTE MASTER] switch assigned to the channel engaged?
No sound output. •Are the appropriate master module [ON] switches engaged?
• Is the [LCR] switch engaged and the [CSR] control turned all the way to the right
(CSR) (page 19)?
No sound from the headphone or monitor outputs. • Is the “MUTE” monitor mode selected (page 67)? In this case monitor output will be
muted when the CEU/SOLO function is OFF.
Sound from the headphone and monitor outputs is
delayed.
•Has a monitor delay been programmed (page 68)?
Only certain channels can be heard via the headphone
and monitor outputs.
• Is a [CUE] switch engaged?
Sound level is too low. •Are the [PAD] switch and [GAIN] controls in the head amplifier blocks set
appropriately?
•Are the input channel faders set to appropriate levels?
•Are the master module faders set to appropriate levels?
•Are VCA faders assigned to the channels set to appropriate levels?
Distorted sound. •Are the [PAD] switch and [GAIN] controls in the head amplifier blocks set
appropriately?
•Are the input channel faders set too high?
•Are the master module faders set too high?
•Are one or more EQ gain controls set too high?
The sound does not change when console settings are
changed.
• Is the [PREVIEW] switch engaged (page 55)?
• Is the LOCK mode engaged (page 61)?
• Is the cascade [MASTER/SLAVE] switch set to the SLAVE position?
Can’t store a scene. •Are you attempting to save to a read-only scene number (000~009)?
• Is the memory protect function turned ON (page 62)?
•Has the scene been protection via the SCENE EDIT settings (page 62)?
• Is console automation turned OFF (page 70)?
Can’t recall a scene. •Are any [RECALL SAFE] or [FADER SAFE] switches engaged?
• Is console automation turned OFF (page 70)?
Can’t save data to a memory card. •Has the memory card been properly formatted to DOS format (page 59)?
•Does the memory card have enough remaining capacity to store the data?
Can’t load data from a memory card. •Has the memory card been properly formatted to DOS format (page 59)?
• Is the file to be loaded in CSV format?
•Have more than 128 files been saved to the memory card? The PM5000 will
recognize up to 128 files on one memory card. Files exceeding this number cannot be
display by the PM5000.
Some channels are always active even when the SOLO
mode is engaged.
• Is INPUT SOLO SAFE engaged for those channels (page 67)?
It takes a while for the faders to stop moving when a
scene is recalled.
•Has a fade time been specified (page 52)?

MIDI Data Format
1. TRANSMIT/RECEIVE DATA
1.1 CHANNEL MESSAGE
1.1.1 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn) BANK SELECT
<Reception>
In SINGLE mode when BANK is ON, this message can be
received if the Rx CH matches. This will specify the bank for a
subsequently received program change.
<Transmission>
In SINGLE mode when BANK is ON and you recall a scene
memory, a bank select message will be transmitted on the
specified Tx CH.
1.1.2 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn) ASSIGN
<Reception>
If CONTROL CHANGE is ON and this message is received,
the parameter that is assigned to the MIDI channel will be
changed.
<Transmission>
If CONTROL CHANGE is ON and an assigned parameter has
been modified, this message will be transmitted from the
selected MIDI channel.
The values of channel or VCA faders are transmitted in 14-bit
form using MSB and LSB bytes.
In the ON switch, 00H through 3fH is assigned to OFF and
40H through 7fH is assigned to ON.
1.1.3 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn) NRPN
<Reception>
If NRPN is ON and the Rx CH matches, this message will be
received. This message will change the parameter
corresponding to the received NRPN number. The CONTROL
CHANGE ASSIGN numbers are the same as the LSB of the
NRPN numbers.
<Transmission>
If NRPN is ON and an assigned parameter is modified, this
message will be transmitted on the Tx CH.
If both CONTROL CHANGE and NRPN are simultaneously
ON, an assigned parameter will be transmitted as a control
change assign message.
60 h (INC) and 61 h (DEC) are not supported.
1.1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn)
<Reception>
In the SINGLE mode this message can be received if Program
Change Rx is ON and the [Rx CH] matches. If OMNI is ON,
however, this message will be received regardless of the
channel. A scene memory will be recalled according to the
settings of the Program Change Table.
In the case of the MULTI mode, if Program Change Rx is ON
this message will be received on all MIDI channels, and will be
divided into banks according to the channel.
If Program Change ECHO is ON, this message will be echoed.
<Transmission>
In the case of the SINGLE mode, if Program Change Tx is ON
this message will be transmitted on the Tx CH channel when a
scene is recalled. This will be transmitted according to the
settings of the Program Change Table.
In the case of the MULTI mode, this will be transmitted on the
MIDI channel according to the bank. If the recalled memory
number is assigned to more than one program number, the
program number for the lowest-numbered channel of the
lowest-numbered bank will be transmitted.
1.2 ACTIVE SENSING (FE)
<Reception>
Once this message has been received, and there is an interval of
300 ms during which nothing is received, Running Status will
be cleared, and MIDI communication will be initialized.
