For stereo operation the POWER AMP switch (28) of the PMP980S/PMP1280S must be set to its upper position (MAIN L/ MAIN R). Outputs A and B deliver the stereo main signal to the P.A. speakers. Two active speakers, wired in parallel, are connected to the preamp monitor output. They are used as on-stage monitor speakers. The effects processors can be switched on and off with a dual footswitch. This set-up is not possible with the PMP960M (no stereo operation possible).

Both the PMP980S/PMP1280S and the PMP960M can be set-up for dual mono operations. The POWER AMP switch (28) must be set to its lower (PMP960M) or center position (PMP980S/ PMP1280S). The two loudspeaker outputs provide the main and monitor signals independently of each other and to two loud- speakers each, which are wired in parallel.
