EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000

2.3 Effects section

List of all multi-effects processor presets.

The LED level meter on the effects module should always show a sufficiently high level. Make sure that the Clip LED illuminates with signal peaks only. If it is constantly illu- minated, the effects processor is overloading, which can lead to unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader (PMP1000) or FX/FX 1/2 fader (PMP3000/PMP5000) controls the level sent to the effects module and to the FX SEND output jacks.

The effects display always reads the currently selected preset.

PMP3000/PMP5000: Press the FX1/2 IN switch to activate the effects processor.

PMP1000/PMP3000: Turn the PROGRAM control to select an effects algorithm (preset number starts flashing). Press this control to activate the effect selected (PMP5000: FX 1/2 (PUSH)).

PMP1000: The effects processor is operative all the time. Adjust the effect intensity for the MAIN or

MON signals with controls or respectively.

PMP5000: The PMP5000 has two separate effects processors, which can be used independently of one another. Enable one or both processors with the FX1/2 IN buttons.

PMP3000/PMP5000: The FX 1/2 TO MON 1 control allows you to set the intensity of the multi-effects processors in the monitor mix. No effect is sent to the monitor mix when this control is set fully counter-clockwise.

PMP1000: The FX TO MON control performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.

The FX 1/2 TO MON 2 control allows you to determine the effect intensity of the multi-effects processor in the monitor 2 mix. No effect is sent to the monitor 2 mix with this control turned fully counter-clockwise.

The FX 1/2 TO MAIN control allows you to determine the effect intensity of the multi-effects processor in the main mix. No effect is sent to the main mix with this control turned fully counter-clockwise.

PMP1000: The FX TO MAIN control performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.

2.4 Main and monitor section

The SURROUND control determines the effect intensity. This is a built-in effect, which widens the stereo panorama, thus making the sound more lively and transparent.

Press the XPQ TO MAIN switch to activate this effect.

Pressing the AFL switch (after-fader listening) activates the solo function. If AFL is on for the corresponding channel in the main section, you will only hear the signal from this channel. Its volume can be adjusted with the fader. Switching AFL on has no effect on the main or monitor mix, as long as you don’t move the fader. In this way, you can monitor one or several selected signals via the PHONES/ CTRL jack . When AFL is on, the corresponding control LED illuminates.

The PMP1000 does not have an AFL function.

PMP1000: FX SEND fader.

PMP3000: FX fader.

PMP5000: FX 1/2 fader.

This is the master send fader for the signal routed to the

effects processor and to the FX SEND output (see

also and ).

PMP1000: MON SEND fader.

PMP3000/PMP5000: MON 1/2 fader.

These faders are used to set the monitor output volume

(see also and ).

PMP1000: The main mix allows you to control the volume from the Main 1 output with both faders.

PMP3000/PMP5000: The MAIN 1 fader controls the volume of the EUROPOWER. The main signal is also provided at the

MAIN 1 output (see also ).

PMP3000/PMP5000: The MONO fader controls the mono

mix signal (see also ).

PMP5000: The SUB FILTER filters out frequencies above the selected setting, so that only low frequencies are sent

to an (active) subwoofer via the MONO OUT ). Set this switch to “On” to activate the filter.

PMP5000: The SUB FREQ control determines the cut-off frequency for the subwoofer output. This value can be adjusted from 30 to 200 Hz.

The PHONS/CTRL R control adjusts the headphone or

control room volume (see also ).

PMP3000/PMP5000: The MAIN 2 control determines the

volume at the MAIN 2 output (see also ), which is the same signal as at MAIN 1, but with extra output jacks and separate volume control.

PMP3000/PMP5000: With the CD/TAPE IN control you can adjust the volume of the line signal present at the CD/TAPE

INPUT . Use the PFL switch to monitor the signal.

PMP1000: With the CD/TAPE RET fader you can adjust the line signal applied to the CD/TAPE INPUT . Use the CD/TAPE MUTE switch to mute the channel.
