EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000
2 CONTROL ELEMENTS
PMP1000: Channels 13/14 and 15/16 are routed to
the main mix without additional tone or volume
adjustment. For example, using the channels 13/14
and 15/16 you can connect a submixer and utilize
the PMP1000’s power amplifier.
PMP3000: The stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 are equipped
with additional RCA connectors.
PMP5000: The stereo channels 13/14 and 15/16 are
equipped with additional RCA connectors.
PMP3000/PMP5000: Please note that you need to set
the A/B selector
to A (1/4") or B (RCA) when you
connect a signal to the input.
PMP3000/PMP5000: Each of the two stereo channels has
two monitor controls (MON 1/2) and a LEVEL control
.
Like the other channels, they also feature a PFL switch.
Instead of a fader this channel has a rotary LEVEL control.
The phantom power supply provides the voltage necessary
for the operation of condenser microphones. Use the
PHANTOM switch to activate the supply for the XLR
connectors of the input channels. The +48 V LED will
illuminate when phantom power is on. In most cases,
dynamic microphones can still be used, as long as they are
connected in a balanced configuration. If in doubt, please
contact the manufacturer of your microphone!
With phantom power switched on, you must never
connect microphones to the console (or to a stage/
wall box). Also, be sure to mute the monitor/P.A.
speakers, before you turn on the phantom power
supply. After switching on, please allow the system
to stabilize for about one minute, before you adjust
the input gain.
Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors
(pins 1 and 3 interconnected) on the MIC input jacks,
if you are going to use the phantom power supply.
The AMP MODE switch determines the mode of operation
of the PMP amplifier stage:
PMP1000:
MAIN: In the “MAIN” position the mixer works as a stereo
amplifier.
MON: In this mode the monitor signal is present at OUTPUT
A
and the main signal at OUTPUT B (both are
mono).
BRIDGE (bridged mono mode): In BRIDGE AMP MODE
the output power of OUTPUT A is added to that of OUTPUT
B, i.e. OUTPUT B delivers twice its normal output power.
PMP3000/PMP5000:
MAIN L/MAIN R. In position MAIN MIX, the mixer works as
a stereo amplifier.
MON 1/MONO. In this mode the monitor 1 signal is present
at OUTPUT A
and the main signal at OUTPUT B
(both are mono).
BRIDGE (bridged mono mode): In BRIDGE AMP MODE
the output power of OUTPUT A is added to that of OUTPUT
B, i.e. OUTPUT B delivers twice its normal output power.
In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one
loudspeaker with an impedance of at least
8
ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ω to
the OUTPUT B jack! Please note that OUTPUT A must
NEVER be used in BRIDGE mode!
In all other operating modes, the minimum
impedance of the speaker must not fall below
4
ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ω.
Please note that the power delivered to the speaker
connected to OUTPUT B in BRIDGE AMP MODE is
considerably higher than the power provided to the
speakers wired to the parallel speaker outputs.
Please read the information given on the rear panel
of the power mixer.
Information on how to properly connect your
speaker with regard to polarity can be found on the
rear of the unit (PIN assignment) (see also
and ).
PMP5000: Use the BEHRINGER SPEAKER PROCESSING
switch to activate a filter that allows you to adapt the mixer
to the characteristics of your loudspeakers. If the speakers
have a limited frequency response in the bass range, this
function allows you to filter this range at the output signal
of the mixer and thus adapt it optimally to the frequency
response of the speakers.
PMP1000/PMP5000: If STANDBY is pressed, all input
channels are muted. During pauses you can prevent the
microphones from picking up noise or interference, which
would then be reproduced by the P.A. system or possibly
damage the speaker diaphragms. The benefit is that all
faders can be left untouched while you play back music
from CD via the CD/TAPE inputs (see
). There is also
no need to move the faders and lose your mix.
2.2 Equalizer and FBQ
Your power mixer features a graphic 7-band equalizer,
which allows you to fine-tune the sound depending on the
room acoustics. In the center position the frequency
response is not effected. To boost or cut a certain
frequency range, simply move the corresponding fader
upward or downward respectively.
Please note that the equalizer behaviour depends
on the position of the AMP MODE switch (see
).
Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the
Feedback Detection system (the FBQ will be
active only if you have switched on the
equalizer
before). Frequencies causing
feedback are shown by brightly lit fader
LEDs. All other LEDs will be darker. Now, cut the frequency
range in question until feedback disappears (the LED gets
darker or goes out). This function is available for both the
main and monitor mix.
PMP1000: The switch FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION
performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and
PMP5000.
Use the MAIN/MON 1 switch to select whether the equalizer
processes the main or the monitor mix. When not pressed,
the stereo equalizer processes only the main mix. When
the switch is pressed, the EQ processes only the monitor
mix.
PMP1000: The MAIN MIX/MONITOR switch performs the
same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.
Press the EQ IN switch to activate the equalizer. The fader
LEDs illuminate when the EQ is on.
Use this LED display to control the output level of the main
signal. The upper LIM LED illuminates when the internal
amp protection circuit responds to levels that are too high.
PMP1000: The POWER LED is illuminated when you switch
the unit on.
The LIM LEDs and the LED display do NOT light up
when an external signal is fed in via the PWR AMP
INSERT jacks
.
