NEW FEATURES & FEATURES THAT VESTAX MADE STANDARD
NEW
FEATURES THAT VESTAX MADE STANDARD
・Double Panel. Vestax invented the double panel
system in order to open up the faceplate for fast
moves and reduce personal injury (fingernails).
This full battle worthy layout was designed with a
lot of advice from top-level scratch and
performance DJs and has become the layout
standard for scratch and performance mixers
since.
・User Replaceable Parts. It is a given that you
will punish your mixer enough to need to replace the
cross fader, an input fader and possibly the input
select switch. Thus, Vestax came up with the
concept of user replaceable parts. You can easily
replace and or upgrade the faders and the input
switches on the PMC-05Pro series by yourself in
just a few minutes.
・Cross Fader Curve Control. Vestax faders have
an undeniably great feel about them. They are
smooth, responsive and strong enough to
withstand most punishment. But making them
even more performance friendly is that the curve of
the fader can be preset or adjusted to suit your
playing style.
・Effects routing. 1 x Effects Send and 1 x Effects
Receive means that you can hook up an external
effects unit for use during play. The volume of
your send and receive signal is easily controlled
through 2 x volume knobs and the signal can be sent
to PGM1, PGM2 or both simultaneously.
・New PCV Cross Fader. The new PMC-05ProIII
comes standard with Vestax's latest proprietary
cross fader. Extra smooth, fast and amazingly
precise, this plastic conductive volume fader is
built to last and survive the most intense play
possible.
・New Input Switch. Designed for rugged and fast use,
this new input switch will stand up to just about any
punishment and is designed to allow quick and
constant changing between phono and line inputs. It
is also omni positional meaning that you can have it
set to its standard position or a number of angles it
for easy use.
・New Look. The new PMC-05ProIII has not only
undergone a technology upgrade but it also sports a
new look with a new set of rotary knobs. These new
knobs are built to reduce slippage and improve
fast access at all times.
・Monitor Cue. Select between monitoring the cue
signal or the master signal. Great for practice and
live play.
・Improved EQ specifications. The EQ section on the
PMC-05ProIII has an improved frequency
response of -26dB to +6dB.

qMAIN MIC LEVEL
Adjusts the input level of the MAIN MIC input.
wMIC EQs
Adjusts the HI and LOW frequencies for both the
MAIN and SUB MIC input.
eMIC PAN
Adjusts the panning for both the MAIN and SUB
MIC.
rTRIM (PGM1/PGM2)
Adjusts the input level of each channel. For optimal
acoustic quality, set the INPUT FADER to a position
of 7 or 8 then adjust the TRIM so that a sufficient
signal is fed through the channel without distorting.
tPGM EQs (PGM1/PGM2)
Adjusts the HI and LOW frequencies for each PGM
channel.
yPGM BALANCE (PGM1/PGM2)
Adjusts the stereo balance for each PGM Channel.
Can also be used to adjust an unbalanced stereo image.
From a center position a clockwise rotation will
increase the volume of channel R over L. Whereas, a
Counter clockwise rotation will increase the volume of
channel L over R.
uCROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH
Reverses the action of the crossfader by switching
PGM1 and 2. Reverse mode, when on, is indicated

PGM channel.
!CROSSFADER
When the input levels of PGM1 and PGM2 are properly
set, PGM1 will be heard with the crossfader set to the left
side. PGM2 will be heard with the cross fader set to the
right side. When the crossfader is set in the center, both
programs will be heard. This is user replaceable fader
Replace with a "CF-PCV" when it is worn out.
iMASTER LEVEL VOLUME
Adjusts the signal level outputs from LINE OUT.
oCROSSFADER CURVE
Adjusts the crossfader curve. A clockwise rotation
gives a steep crossfader good for scratching and
cutting, whereas, a counter clockwise rotation gives a
gentle crossfader good for long running mixes.
!EFFECT RCV LEVEL
Adjusts the signal level input from an external effects unit
connected to the EFFECT RCV jacks on the front panel.
!POWER LED
