EUROPOWER PMH1000/PMH3000/PMH5000
The FX control determines the signal level sent from each channel to the
present at the FX SEND jack (see ).
The PMH5000 has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that you can use two effects simultaneously. Accordingly, the PMH5000 also has two effect aux buses, which have one
output jack in common (see and ).
Please note that the effects processor signal will be inaudible, as long as the FX TO MON/MAIN controls , , are set fully
The PAN(ORAMA) control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo main mix.
The BAL(ANCE) control for the stereo channels corresponds 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.
PMH3000/PMH5000: When you press the PFL button (Pre
Fader Listening) the left LED shows the
If the LEVEL SET LED is illuminated constantly, the signal is within the optimum operating level range. However, if the CLIP LED indicates that the input gain is too high, you should reduce the level slightly with the TRIM control. The CLIP LED should never be illuminated all the time, only with signal peaks.
The MUTE switch mutes the channel in the main mix. The
The channel fader controls the channel signal level in the main mix.
2.1.1 Input section
Each mono input channel is equipped with a balanced microphone input (XLR connector) which provides +48 V phantom power for condenser microphones at the touch of a button (see rear panel).
PMH1000: The two stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 have an additional balanced XLR microphone input with +48 V phantom power.
Be sure to switch off your audio system before you activate the phantom power supply to protect your monitor speakers from
Each mono input features one LINE IN connector (1/4" jack), which can be used with either balanced or unbalanced signals.
Please remember to use either the microphone or the line input on a specific channel. Never use both at the same time!
When you connect a mono line signal to a stereo channel, always use the left input. The mono signal will then be reproduced by both sides equally.
PMH1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.
INSERT I/O. Insert points or simply inserts are used to process a signal with dynamic processors or equalizers. They are
The stereo channels have a TRIM control for gain adjustment, with the input sensitivity ranging from +20 to
PMH1000: The stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 feature an additional XLR connector for microphones whose gain can be set from 0 to +40 dB.
Each stereo channel has two
PMH1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.
PMH1000: 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 PMH1000’s power amplifier.
PMH3000: The stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 are equipped with additional RCA connectors.
PMH5000: The stereo channels 13/14 and 15/16 are equipped with additional RCA connectors.
PMH3000/PMH5000: 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.
PMH3000/PMH5000: 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 PMH amplifier stage:
PMH1000:
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.
PMH3000/PMH5000:
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.
