Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: To ensure a long healthy life for you and your new PM-16 System, please read these instructions
before proceeding.
Water and moisture
Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture or use in damp or wet conditions. Do not place con-
tainers of liquids on surfaces where liquid may spill into any openings.
Ventilation
Please make certain that the units have proper ventilation.
Heat and Vibration
Do not locate the equipment in a place subject to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Locate the equipment away from any source which produces excessive heat or vibration.
Installation
Install and connect the equipment in accordance with the instructions printed in this User Guide.
Prevent Damage
To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the control surface,
scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibration.
Environment
Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash,
smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and moisture. If the equipment or its power supply be-
comes wet, switch off the power immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again.
Cleaning
Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control surface is best cleaned with a soft brush
and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of elec-
trical lubricants on these parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be re-
moved for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow it to dry fully before refitting them.
Protect Your Hearing!
To avoid damage to your hearing, do not operate your Elite Core Personal Monitor System at exces-
sively high volume. Continued exposure to high volume sound can cause frequency selective or wide
range hearing loss. Consult the User Guide for recommended settings.

interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This product generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Op-
eration of this product in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you
will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause un-
desired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a non-res-
idential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the antenna of the radio/television receiver.
2. Increase the separation between this equipment and the radio/television receiver.
3. Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that the equipment and the radio/television re-
ceiver are on different power mains branch circuits.

PM-16 System Overview
Welcome to the Elite Core PM-16 Personal Monitoring System. You have just obtained one of the best
sounding and elaborately featured monitoring systems available at any price. We know you'll be happy
with the PM-16 system. If you have any comments or questions, please get in touch with us. We like
to get feedback from and interact with our users:
•Web www.elitecoreaudio.com
•Email info@elitecoreaudio.com
•Telephone 855-276-2673
The PM-16 Personal Monitoring System consists of three components:
• IM-16 Input Module
• DM-8 Distribution Module
• PM-16 Personal Mixer
IM-16 Input Module
The IM-16 Input Module is a 16-channel A/D interface between a console (via channel inserts, direct out-
puts, aux sends), and the DM-8 Distribution Module or PM-16 Personal Mixer.
Figure 1 IM-16 Input Module
DM-8 Distribution Module
The DM-8 Distribution Module routes 16 digital audio channels from the IM-16 to the PM-16 Personal
Mixers. One DM-8 can power eight PM-16s.

PM-16 Personal Mixer
The PM-16 Personal Mixer has:
• 16 channels, each with a LEVEL and PAN knob.
•MASTER level, COMPRESSION, and three-band graphic EQ.
•AMBIENCE level that blends in sound captured by the built-in mic.
Figure 3 PM-16 Personal Mixer
We recommend using a DM-8 Distribution Module to deliver AC power and audio to the PM-16s but
it is not required.
See PM-16 System Connections on page 17 to learn how to connect the PM-16 with or without a DM-8.

IM-16 Input Module
The IM-16 Input Module is a 16-channel A/D interface between the mixing console and the DM-8 Dis-
tribution Module or PM-16 Personal Mixer.
Figure 4 IM-16 Input Module
IN Connectors
Route the console’s channel inserts, direct outputs, and/or aux sends to the ¼-in IN 1–16 connectors.
THRU Connectors
The THRU 1–16 connectors are provided to route the individual analog audio channels elsewhere.
TRS Send/Return
Some console’s have a TRS send/return jack that requires a return signal to function properly. This can
be easily solved using a Y-cable wired so one side is ¼-in TRS, male.
The other side splits into two ¼-in TS plugs, both male, wired as follows:
• TS#1 carries the console’s T and ground.
• TS#2 carries the console’s R and ground.
Typical mixers connect T to IN andRtoTHRU but check your console’s wiring diagram to confirm.
Multichannel Record Output
Route the 16 analog inputs to a recorder or interface. This can be very useful in solving routing issues
in systems with limited patching.
System Expansion
Route the analog inputs to another IM-16 or even another manufacturer’s input module. Many instal-
lations have an existing monitoring system, but have chosen the PM-16 to expand their infrastructure.
The THRU connectors make this cross-product integration possible.
See System with Additional DM-8s on page 18 for other ways to expand a PM-16 system.

NETWORK Connector
Connect a standard CAT5E cable from the IM-16’s RJ-45 NETWORK connector to the PoE x1 input on
the DM-8 or NETWORK IN on the PM-16.
See PM-16 System Connections to learn how to interconnect all PM-16 System components.
SIG and CLIP LEDs
Each channel has two front panel LEDs:
•SIG lights green to indicate a signal within normal operating range.
•CLIP lights red to indicate the signal is within 3 dB of clipping.
Adjust the console’s outputs to the IM-16 so each channel’s SIG LED lights green.
POWER Inlet
To power up the IM-16, connect the 18 VAC 8.3 mA power supply (provided) to the POWER inlet.
There is no on/off switch.
