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  
in the LED section.  
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  
!EFFECT SEND LEVEL

PGM channel. The upper most position will select PHONO input.  
This selector switch can also be used to perform for

switch is selectable. To change the operational direction of this  
switch remove the top panel and make the necessary the top panel.

EFFECT SEND JACK.  
!MONITOR LEVEL  
Adjusts the headphone monitor level.  
!INPUT FADER (PGM1/PGM2)

section. When set to CUE the signal heard is determined  
by which PGM is being sent to the master and the location  
of the Monitor Cross Fader  
!. When set to MASTER you  
will hear the master signal in the monitor section.
