hboducing the Shure Power Console Mod4 700 PRO MfiST€RTM . . . a portable, high-power, stereo, 8-input mixer-amplifier with the flexibility and dependability demanded by professional entertainers and sound system operators. The result of years of design concept study and evaluation, the PRO MASTER handles any sound job well-even those grueling tours where daily setups and "knockdowns" punish equipment severely.
Controls Connectors Indicators Input Channels :ate basic or lnit~alsettings) (Orange marks on controls ind~c ... . Basically In addition.. MONITOR Independently controls channel monitor level to monitor output. Adjust for desired monitor mix when using a monitor system. MONITOR Control precedes VOLUME ("pre-fader") and other channel controls; not affected by VOLUME, EQualizers, EFFECTSIREVERB,or N B PAN. Only affected by INPUT ATTEN, allowing totally independent monitor mix.
Pux 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 AiB PAN controls for stereo positioning, VOLUME controls for setting the channel input mix level, and AUX INPUT phone jacks. To play a stereo tape, connect the left tape channel to AUX INPUT 7 and set the channel 7 PAN control to A (full counterclockwise).
Controls Connectors lndicators Peak lndicators Equalizers FEEDBACK FINDER'" I Dl3 PCAH lndicators Are connected to power amplifier outputs and indicate peak output level. 0 DB PEAK equals approximately 25 watts to a 4-ohm load. A 6 dB change is a 4-times power change; therefore, -36 dB representsa 6 mW output and +6 dB a lOOW output. These indicators are also used to provide an instantaneous readout of feedback frequency (see FEEDBACK FINDER).
Moster Controls Bosically ... In addition.. . Monitor Master Controls monitor mix level to MONITOR OUTPUT jack. Monitor Master Control precedes VOLUME and other channel controls. Only affected by INPUT ATEN and channel MONITOR controls. Reverb Return Controls reverb level to A and B channel signal mixes. Reverb Return This control follows the INPUT AlTEN, input VOLUME and EQ, and EFFECTSIREVERB channel controls, as well as the REVERB EQ controls.
Controls connectors Indicators (continued) Power and Speaker Connections Power O N - O H Switch Applies ac power to power supply (does not switch ac outlet) Unswitchd 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.
PATCH BLOCKTM Rmr Panel Simplex 24V Switch Reverb Switch Jack 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-in 24 Vdc simplex voltage is applied to input channels 1 through 6 BAL LO IMP connectors to power most condenser microphones.
The PRO MASTER'" is an extremely versatile unit. Its great flexibility is in part achieved by the many PATCH BLOCK'" (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 PRO MASTER power switch off when making patch connections to avoid possible high-level transients, noise and hum.
Mono Sound Reinforcement, Stage Monitor, and Stereo Tape RecordIPlayback (See Setup 3.) Patch the MONITOR OUTPUT jack to the A EQ INPUT jack.Patch the A+BAUX OUTPUT jack to the B EQ INPUT jack. Connect the A MIX OUTPUT jack to the left channel aux input of the tape recorder, and the B MIX OUTPUT to the right channel aux input. Connect the monitor speaker(s) to channel A SPEAKER OUTPUTS and the main speakers to channel B. Adjust the MONITOR MASTER and channel A graphic equalizer for the monitor speakers.
External Effects DeviceIMono Sound ReinforcementISingle Master Control (See Setup 6.) Connect the EFFECTS OUTPUT jack to the input of the external effects device (echo, flanger, etc.), and the effects device output to a channel 7 or 8 AUX INPUT jack. Adjust the channel 7 or 8 PAN pot to center. Patch the A EQ OUTPUT jack to the B PA INPUT jack. Both power amplifiers are fed by the channel A MASTER and graphic equalizer, and both SPEAKER OUTPUTS provide the same signal at 200 watts to 4 ohms. .. -.
1. Position the microphones and connect them to the PRO MASTER'". Use both inputs on each channel if 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 on each channel. 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 (IOA, 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. Check air filter and clean if necessary.

Speaker Systems Recommended for your PRO MASTERTM Speaker system Model 701 PRO MASTER Speaker System A wide-range, high efficiency, lightweight, portable, two-way speaker system-an ideal companion to the Model 700 PRO MASTER Power Console. The Model 701 provides high SPL sound reinforcement of wide frequency range program material in every location from the largest auditoriums to the most intimate clubs.
Accessories Model SR106 Electronic Crossover Model A7C Console Cover A selectable-frequency dividing network (500, 800, 2600 Hz), designed for use with two- or three-way speaker systems such as the Model 701 in high-quality sound systems. It uses the principle of biamplification to separate an audio console or mixer-preamplifier output into two frequency bands for distribution to separate power amplifiers. The SR106 has both professional three-pin and phone jack inputs and outputs.
