EUROPOWER PMP960M/PMP980S/PMP1280S User Manual
5
Control Elements2.
A detailed description of all functions of your power mixer can be
found in the following chapters. Please also refer to the enclosed
sheet with the numbered illustrations to get an overview of the
control layout.
Mono and stereo channels2.1
The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high-
[1]
frequency range of the respective channel.
Use the MID control to boost or cut the mid-range frequen-
[2]
cies.
The LOW control allows you too boost/cut the low-frequency
[3]
range.
With the MON control you can adjust the volume of each
[4]
channel in the monitor mix.
The FX control determines the signal level sent from each
[5]
channel to the built-in effects processor; this signal is also
present at the FX OUT jack (see (32)). The PMP980S/
PMP1280S has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that
you can use two effects simulteneously. Accordingly, it also
provides two effect Aux paths (see (32)).
Please note that the effects processor signal will be
◊
inaudible when the FX RETURN control (21) is set fully
counter-clockwise.
For the mono input channels, the PMP980S/PMP1280S has
[6]
a PAN(ORAMA) control which determines the position of
the channel signal in the stereo main mix. The PMP960M
has no PAN on the input channels, because it is a dual-
mono power mixer.
The BAL(ANCE) control for the stereo channels of the
[7]
PMP980S/PMP1280S corresonds to the PAN control for the
mono channels. It determines the relative volume of the
left and right input signals before they are routed to the
stereo main output. The PMP960M has no stereo channels
and hence no BAL control, because it is a dual-mono power
mixer.
The LEVEL control adjusts the channel signal level in the
[8]
main mix.
Input section2.1.1
The CLIP LED is very useful to control the input gain. It
[9]
should never be constantly illuminated (only with signal
peaks).
The PAD switch reduces the input sensitivity of the
[10]
channel by approx. 30 dB, to connect for example line-level
signals.
The balanced HI-Z input (¼" TRS) can be used for line-level
[11]
signal sources, e.g. keyboards, electric guitars and basses.
Each channel has a balanced LOW-Z microphone input
[12]
with XLR connectors, which also supply the +48 V phantom
power for condenser microphones (see (27)).
Unbalanced stereo line inputs with ¼" connectors for stereo
[13]
channels 7 to 10 of the PMP980S/PMP1280S. They can be
used for connecting keyboards with stereo outputs or stereo
drum machines.
Please remember to use either the microphone or the line
◊
input of a channel at a time, but never both at the same
time!
Effects section2.2
List of all multi-effects presets.
[14]
LED level meter of the effects processor. Since the PMP980S/
[15]
PMP1280S allows you to select two effects simultaneously, it
also has two level meters (DUAL FX). Be sure that the clip
LED illuminates for signal peaks only. If it is illuminated all
the time, it is a sign that the effects processor is overloading
and hence producing unpleasant distortion.
The Effect display (PMP980S/PMP1280S: two displays)
[16]
shows the currently selected preset.
Turn the PROGRAM control (PMP980S/PMP1280S: one
[17]
control each for FX 1 and FX 2) to select an effects preset
(preset number starts ashing). Push the control briey to
conrm your selection.
Press the FX IN button (PMP980S/PMP1280S: FX 1 IN and
[18]
FX 2 IN) to activate the effects processor.
Main and monitor section2.3
Your power mixer is equipped with two graphic 7-band
[19]
equalizers. The upper one processes the monitor signal, the
lower one the main signal. Use the EQs to adjust the sound
to the room acoustics.
Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the FBQ Feedback
[20]
Detection System. The frequencies causing feedback are
shown by the brightly lit fader LEDs. Simply lower the
level of the respective frequency range until feedback disap-
pears and the LED goes out. Your power mixer offers this
function both for the main and the monitor mix.
Turn the FX RET control to add the effect signal to the
[21]
main mix (lower) or monitor mix (upper). The PMP980S/
PMP1280S allows you to use two effects at the same time,
it also has two FX controls each for the main and monitor
mixes: when the FX RET 1 and FX RET 2 controls are fully
counterclockwise, no effect signal is added.
The CD/TAPE IN control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track
[22]
In signal (see (35)).
The MONITOR MASTER control adjusts the monitor
[23]
output volume.
