EUROPOWER PMH2000

sThe stereo equalizer is effective on the main mix when

both units have been activated with the EQ IN buttons

and the MODE switch is set to its upper position (“LEFT/RIGHT”).

sThe stereo equalizer uses one unit each to process the main and monitor mix signals, if both units are on and the

MODE switch is set to its lower position (“MON/MAIN”).

Use the EQ IN buttons to switch the two equalizer units on or off.

Press the RUMBLE FILTER button to activate the low-cut filter of channels 1 - 6. This filter eliminates unpleasant bass frequencies (e.g. microphone pop noise).

The FX TO MON control determines the effects intensity of the multi-effects processor as part of the monitor mix. Turn the control fully counter-clockwise to add no effect to the monitor mix.

The MONITOR LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the monitor mix.

Use the MONITOR LEVEL display to control the monitor signal level. The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in limiter is activated, thus protecting against overload.

With this MODE switch you can determine whether the PMH2000 works as a stereo amplifier (“LEFT/RIGHT”) or as a dual mono amplifier (“MON/MAIN”). Please note that the equalizer function also depends on this switch setting

(see ).

The FX TO MAIN control functions as FX return for the built-in effects processor. Use this control to add the desired effect signal to the main mix. No effect signal is added when the FX TO MAIN is set fully counter-clockwise.

The MAIN LEVEL control governs the overall volume of the PMH2000.

The MAIN LEVEL display reads the output level of the PMH2000. The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in limiter is activated, thus protecting against signal peaks.

Use the FX FOOTSWITCH jack to connect any commercially available foot controller. It allows you to bypass the effects unit.

This is the balanced MONITOR output of your PMH2000. Use it to feed an external monitor amp or active wedge.

These two 1/4" TS jacks allow you to route the output signal to an external amplifier. This allows you to, say, use only the mixing and effect section of the PMH2000. The signal is taken pre-power amp. Of course, you can also use only the left jack as a mono output.

These two 1/4" TS jacks can be used to connect external signals, such as the main mix signal from an additional mixing console (pre-power amp).

Here, you will find a list of all multi-effect presets available.

This is the LED level meter of the effects processor. Please make sure that the clip LED lights up with signal peaks only. If it is lit constantly, this indicates that the effects processor is overdriven, which can lead to unpleasant distortion.

The EFFECT display reads the currently selected preset.

Turn the PROGRAM control to select the effect presets. Press the control briefly to confirm your selection.

2.2 Rear panel

The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.

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.

Use the POWER switch to put your PMH2000 into operation. The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

+Attention: 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.

This is the RIGHT/MONO MAIN Speakon® loudspeaker output of your PMH2000, where you can connect the right loudspeaker of a stereo system. For this purpose, switch must be set to its upper position. If, however, you run

a mono main mix (switch set to its lower position), this loudspeaker output provides the main mix signal in mono.

+The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here must not fall below 4 W.

The BRIDGE loudspeaker output allows you to combine the left and right stereo channel in one mono output, which is useful for applications that require the use of one loudspeaker only. To use the BRIDGE output, switch must be set to “LEFT/RIGHT”.

+Always connect the BRIDGE jack to a loudspeaker with a minimum impedance of 8 W!

+Please note that the power delivered to the speaker connected to the BRIDGE output is considerably higher than the power provided to the speakers wired to the parallel speaker outputs. Please read the information given on the rear panel of your PMH2000.

+When using the BRIDGE loudspeaker output, NEVER use any of the other two connectors (RIGHT/MONO MAIN and LEFT/MONITOR) at the same time!

This is the LEFT/MONITOR Speakon® loudspeaker output of your PMH2000, to which you can connect the left

loudspeaker of a stereo system (switch set to its upper position). If you do a main mix in mono (switch set to its lower position), this loudspeaker output provides the monitor signal in mono.

+The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here must not fall below 4 W.

+Information on how to properly connect your speaker with regard to polarity can be found on the rear of the unit (PIN assignment).

3. EFFECTS PROCESSOR

A special feature of your PMH2000 is its built-in multi-effects processor that features the same audio quality as our re- nowned 19" effects device VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. The processor comes with 99 different standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, vocal distortion as well as various effects combinations.
