6EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000 User Manual

(6)Use the MID control to boost or cut the midrange frequencies.

(7)PMP5000: The PMP5000 has an additional semi-parametric filter for the midrange frequencies in the mono channels (tunable from 100 Hz to 8 kHz). Adjust the boost/cut with the MID control, and the frequency with the FREQ control.

The stereo channels contain a stereo EQ section. The cut-off frequencies of the high and low bands are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively, while the center frequencies of the high-mid and low-mid bands are 3 kHz and 400 Hz respectively.

(8)The LOW control allows you to boost/cut the low frequency range.

(9)With the MON(ITOR) control you can adjust the volume of each channel in the monitor mix.

(10)The PMP3000 and PMP5000 feature a second MON control (MON 2) for the volume of the second monitor bus.

(11)The FX control determines the signal level sent from each channel to the built-in effects processor; this signal is also present at the FX SEND jack (see (64)).

(12)The PMP5000 has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that you can use two effects simultaneously. Accordingly, the PMP5000 also has two effect aux buses, which have one output jack in common (see (46) and (64)).

◊Please note that the effects processor signal will be inaudible, as long as the FX TO MON/MAIN controls (40), (41), (42) are set fully counter-clockwise.

(13)The PAN(ORAMA) control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo main mix.

(14)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.

(15)PMP3000/PMP5000: When you press the PFL button (Pre Fader Listening) the left LED (34) shows the pre-fader input gain of the channel. Adjust the optimum input gain (0 dB) with the TRIM control (1). When PFL is on, the corresponding­ LED illuminates.

If the LEVEL SET LED (2) 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.

(16)The MUTE switch mutes the channel in the main mix. The pre-fader signals (monitor buses) remain operative. When MUTE is pressed, the corresponding control LED illuminates.

(17)The channel fader controls the channel signal level in the main mix.

2.1.1 Input section

(18)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).

PMP1000: 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 switch-on thumps.

(19)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.

◊PMP1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.

(20)INSERT I/O. Insert points or simply inserts are used to process a signal with dynamic processors or equalizers. They are pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-MON/FX SEND. Unlike reverb and other effects, which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processors usually process the entire signal.

So, aux send buses are not the best solution. Dynamic processors need to be inserted directly into the signal path. Once processed, the signal then returns to the mixing console at the same point where it left. Signal interruption takes place only if a plug is inserted into the corresponding jack (1/4" stereo plug: tip = signal output, ring = input). All mono input channels are equipped with inserts.

(21)The stereo channels have a TRIM control for gain adjustment, with the input sensitivity ranging from +20 to -20 dB.

PMP1000: 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.

(22)Each stereo channel has two line-level inputs (1/4" jacks) for the left and right channels. If only the jack marked “L” is used, the channel is mono. The signal will then be reproduced on both sides.

◊PMP1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.

◊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.

(23)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

(4)to A (1/4") or B (RCA) when you connect a signal to the input.

(24)PMP3000/PMP5000: Each of the two stereo channels has two monitor controls (MON 1/2) and a LEVEL control (25). Like the other channels, they also feature a PFL switch.

(25)Instead of a fader this channel has a rotary LEVEL control.

(26)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.
