nect the CD/TAPE IN from the recorder, before you start
recording!
The MAIN ¼" connectors allow you to send the main signal
[38]
to an external amplier, when you only wish to use the
mixer and effects section. The signal is taken pre-power
stage of the mixer. It is also possible to use only the left jack
of the output. The PMP960M has only one mono output
connector.
Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speak-
[39]
ers to the mono MONITOR output to monitor the signal
mix created with the MON controls or to route it to the
musicians on stage.
Use the POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The
[40]
POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when
you are about to connect the unit to the mains.
Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect
the unit from the mains. Unplug the power cord completely
when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
Rear panel2.4
The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An
[41]
appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains,
[42]
ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage.
Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating. Please also read the information given in
chapter 6 “Specications”.
Loudspeaker OUTPUT A.
[43]
PMP980S/PMP1280S: Depending on the operating mode
selected (see (28)) either the left main signal or the monitor
signal is provided at OUTPUT A. Never use this output in
bridged mono mode.
PMP960M: In MON/MAIN mode, the monitor signal is
provided at OUTPUT A (see (28)). Never use this output
in bridged mono mode, except when you use a cable with
the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-). In this case you
can take the mono main signal from this output in MAIN/
MAIN (BRIDGE) mode (not bridged). Please also refer to
chapter 4.3 “Loudspeaker connection”.
The impedance of the loudspeaker connected must not fall
below 4 Ω.
Please note that the power delivered to the speaker in
bridged mono mode is considerably higher than in other
operating modes. Please read the information given on the
rear panel of the power mixer.
Loudspeaker OUTPUT B.
[44]
PMP980S/PMP1280S: Depending on the operating mode
selected (see (28)) either the right main signal, the mono
main signal or the bridged mono signal is provided at
OUTPUT B.
PMP960M: Either the main or the bridged main mono
signal is provided at OUTPUT B (see (28)). When you use
a cable with the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-), it is
possible in MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode to take the mono
main signal from this output (not bridged). Please also refer
to chapter 4.3 “Loudspeaker connection”.
In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one loudspeaker
with an impedance of at least 8 Ω to OUTPUT B (pins
1+/2+)! Please note that OUTPUT A must NEVER be used in
BRIDGE mode (with pin connections 1+/2+)!
In all other operating modes, the minimum impedance of
the speaker connected must not fall below 4 Ω.
Information on how to properly connect your speaker with
regard to polarity can be found on the rear of the mixer
(PINOUTs).

Digital Effects Processor3.
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard
effects such as reverb, chorus, anger, delay and various combi-
nation effects. The integrated effects module has the advantage
of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger of creating ground
loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset, com-
pletely simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If
you move the FX RET control, you mix the channel signal (dry)
and the effect signal.
Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose
signals you don’t wish to process.
Installation4.
Mains connection4.1
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and
rating.
The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord
and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international
safety certication requirements.
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground con-
nection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the
ground conductor from the unit or of the AC power cord.
Audio connections4.2
The inputs and outputs of the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER are
unbalanced ¼" TS connectors—except for the balanced mono
line inputs. Of course, all inputs and outputs work with both bal-
