Introducing the Shure PRO MRST€RTM Power Console Model 706 . . . a portable, high -power, 8-input monophonic mixeramplifier combining the power and versatility demanded by professional users with the ease of operation of a much smaller, simpler unit. The result of years of design concept study and evaluation, the PRO MASTER handles any sound job dependably, and with the very highest quality. It combines superior performance with a relatively modest price.

MONITOR MONITOR Independently controls channel monitor level to monitor output. Adjust for desired monitor mix when using a monitor system. Control precedes VOLUME ("pre-fader")and other channel controls; not affected by VOLUME, EQualizers, or EFFECTSIREVERB.Only affected by INPUT ATTEN, allowing totally independent monitor mix.
I Rux Inputs Channels 7 and 8 are aux level inputs, providing additional input capabilities for tape recorders, synthesizers, amplified instruments, background music sources, preamplified phonographs, or other mixers. These channels have AUX INPUT phone jacks, VOLUME controls for settlng the channel input mix level. To play a stereo tape in mono, connect the left tape channel to AUX INPUT 7 and the right tape channel to AUX INPUT 8.
Controls Connectors Indicators - Peak IndicatorsgEqualizer- FEEDBACK FINDERTM DB PCAH Indicators Are connected to power amplifier outputs and Indicate peak output level. 0 DB PEAK equals approxlmately 25 watts to a 4-ohm load. A 6 dB change is a 4-tlmes power change; therefore. -36 dB represents a 6 mW output and +6 dB a 100W output. These Indicators are also used to provide an instantaneous readout of feedback frequency (see FEEDBACK FINDER).

controls connectors Indicators (continued) Power and Speaker Connections Power ON-OFF Switch Applies ac power to power supply (does not switch ac outlet). .~nswitched AC Grounded Outlet Provides up to 100 watts of ac power to accessory equipment (mixer, tape recorder, lamp, etc.).The outlet is not fused and not switched; use the power switch on the accessory equipment. The outlet is not intended for use with high-power equipment such as power amplifiers.
PRTCH OLOCH'" Rear Panel e ~ i m p l e x24V Switch Turn on when powering low-impedance condenser microphones from the console; turn off when not used. Balanced low-impedance microphones may be used in combination with condenser microphones. NOTE: Do not turn on when using unbalanced low-impedance microphones. The built-ln 24 Vdc simplex voltage IS applied to input channels 1 through 6 BAL LO IMP connectors to power most condenser microphones.
Setups The versatility of the PRO MASTERTM is in part achieved by the many PATCH BLOCKTM (rear panel) inputs and outputs which permit its use in a wide variety of applications. The setups described in this section offer some idea of the varied applications of the PRO MASTER. Use only high-quality, shielded patch cords for patching. Turn the PRO MASTER power switch off when making patch connections to avoid possible high-level transients, noise and hum. Basic Sound Reinforcement (See Setup 1.
Stage Monitor and "House" Sound System (See Setup 3.) When a "house" system is to be used as the prime sound system, the PRO MASTER can be used as the system mixer, and also provide a monitor output as follows. Patch the MONITOR OUTPUT jack to the EQ INPUT jack. Connect the MIC OUTPUT to the house system low-impedance mic input. Connect the SPEAKER OUTPUTS to the monitor speakers.
Separate Monitor Equalizer and Power Amplifier (See Setup 5.) When the SPEAKER OUTPUTS are being used for the main speakers and a separate monitor system is desired, connect the MONITOR OUTPUT jack to the input of a separate equalizer (such as a Shure SR107). Connect the equalizer output to a separate power amplifier (such as a Shure SR105B) and connect monitor speakers. The monitor system is only affected by the PRO MASTER INPUT ATTEN, MONITOR, and MASTER MONITOR controls.
Operotion 1 . Position the microphones and connect them to the PRO MASTER'" Use both inputs on each channel ~f more than SIX microphones are to be connected. Use low-impedance microphones and cables to minimize loss and interference if long microphone cable lengths are needed. 2. Position the speakers and connect them to the PRO MASTER. Make sure the combined speaker load is not less than 4 ohms. Use minimum cable lengths to maximize output power. Use the proper cable size for the required length. 3.
Troubleshooting Symptom Probable Cause or Correction Console IS "dead" (no output, POWER LED off) 1. Check that ac power source is "live" and that console is plugged in. 2. Check that power ON-OFF switch is on. 3. Check that rear-panel fuse (4A, 250V) is good. Console appears to be overheating (TEMP WARNING LED on) 1. Check air louvers for blockage. 2. Check for proper speaker load or shorted speaker cable. 3.
