EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000
3 DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
2.4.1 Connectors
Use the CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) to connect an
external stereo signal, such as a CD player, tape deck or
other line-level sources.
The VOICE CANCELLER filters vocal-specific
frequencies from the CD/TAPE INPUT signal. This
function can be used for karaoke, i.e. you can
remove the vocals from a song and then sing
along with the music yourself.
The CD/TAPE OUTPUT provides the line level stereo signal
(e.g. for a DAT recorder).
If the CD/TAPE OUT signal is connected to a
recording machine whose output signal is returned
to the CD/TAPE IN, feedback can occur when you
activate the record function on the recording
machine. So, disconnect the CD/TAPE IN from the
recording machine before you start recording or
set the CD/TAPE input signal to zero!
PMP1000: The MAIN OUT jacks allow you to send the main
line level signal to an external amplifier, when, for example,
you want to use the mixer and effects section. The PMP3000
and PMP5000 have two separately controllable line level
MAIN outputs
(MAIN 1/2).
Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor
speakers to the MON 1/2 SEND to monitor the signal mix
created with the MON controls or to route it to the musicians
on stage.
The PMP Series comes with a POWER AMP INSERT
connection that is provided for various applications. This
connection enables you to use the power amplifier of the
device to amplify the output signal of another preamp. For
example, it is possible to connect a larger mixer or preamp
output (line signal) of an instrument amplifier. In this case,
you only need an unbalanced, mono jack cable.
Furthermore, it is possible to use the POWER AMP INSERT
as a conventional insert to add a compressor or graphic
equalizer to the signal path, for instance. Here, a balanced,
stereo jack cable is required and the assignment of tip and
ring needs to be observed according to Figure 4.5 (see
Chapter 4.2 “Audio Connections”). In this case, the ring is
the so-called Send, which is connected to the input of the
additional device, and the tip is referred to as Return, which
is connected to the output of the additional device.
Lastly, it is possible to tap the output signal of the device’s
mixer section from the POWER AMP INSERT in order to use
a second, external power amp. A balanced, stereo jack
cable is required with the ring (not the tip) connected to the
input of the external power amp. If you want to use the
internal and external power amps at the same time, just
wire the connector’s ring and tip together.
The FOOTSWITCH jack is for a standard footswitch. You
can activate an “effect bypass”, thereby muting the effects
processor. Use a dual foot switch for the PMP5000, so
that you can enable/disable FX1 and FX2 independently of
each other. In this case, the tip of the 1/4" plug controls
FX1, and the ring FX2.
PMP3000/PMP5000: The MONO OUT is for connecting a
subwoofer. The
PMP5000 has the additional possibility of
setting the low-frequency range for the subwoofer.
Use the SUB FILTER control
to adjust the frequency.
The FX SEND connector can be used to route the FX
SEND signal from the input channel, for example, to the
input of an external effects device. Since the
PMP5000
has two FX controls per input signal (see
), both FX
SEND 1+2 are present at one jack.
Please note: The SEND signal is in parallel with the
FX SEND jacks and with the effects processor, so
that both can be controlled together by one control.
For the FX signals, use a 1/4" stereo plug connected
as follows: FX1 = tip; FX2 = ring
The PHONS/CTRL connector allows you to connect a
pair of stereo headphones or an (active) monitor speaker.
2.5 Rear panel
The mains connection is via a standard IEC receptacle. An
appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains,
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
the “SPECIFICATIONS”.
Use the POWER switch to put your PMP into operation.
The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position
before connecting your 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.
SERIAL NUMBER.
This is where you find the cooling fan of the unit.
The
PMP5000 has two cooling fans.
OUTPUT A (LEFT) provides either the left stereo main
signal or the monitor signal in mono, depending on the
operating mode selected (see
). NEVER use this output
in bridged mono mode.
OUTPUT B (RIGHT/BRIDGE) provides either the right
stereo main signal, the main mix signal (mono) or the bridged
mono signal, depending on the operating mode selected.
In BRIDGE mode always connect only one
loudspeaker with an impedance of at least
8
ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ω to
the OUTPUT B jack!
NEVER use OUTPUT A in BRIDGE
mode!
In all other operating modes the impedance of the
connected loudspeaker must not fall below
4
ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ω.
3 DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard
effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various
combination 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,
completely simplifying the handling. These effect presets are
designed to be added to dry signals.
Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips
whose signals you don’t wish to process.
