9EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000 User Manual

(62)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 (50) to adjust the frequency.

(63)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 (12)), 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: FX 1 = tip; FX 2 = ring

(64)The PHONS/CTRL connector allows you to connect a pair of stereo headphones or an (active) monitor speaker.

(65)The mains connection is via a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.

(66)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”.

(67)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.

(68)SERIAL NUMBER.

(69)This is where you find the cooling fan of the unit. The PMP5000 has two cooling fans.

(70)OUTPUT A (LEFT) provides either the left stereo main signal or the monitor signal in mono, depending on the operating mode selected (see (27)). NEVER use this output in bridged mono mode.

(71)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 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 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.

4. Installation

4.1 Mains connection

The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.

Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

◊Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or of the AC power cord.

4.2 Audio connections

The inputs and outputs of your BEHRINGER EUROPOWER are unbalanced 1/4" mono jacks—except for the mono channel line inputs, which are balanced 1/4" stereo jacks. Of course, all inputs and outputs work with both balanced and unbalanced connectors. The tape in and outputs are on RCA connectors.

◊Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the PMP. During installation and operation, the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit.
