(12) The CD/TAPE/LINE IN RCA input of channel 13/14 allows you to feed in
external stereo signals from your CD player or tape deck, for example.
(13) The CD/TAPE/LINE OUT RCA output provides the stereo main mix signal of
your PMP2000 and can be routed to, say, a recording machine.
◊ When the CD/TAPE OUT signal is connected to a tape deck whose output
signal is routed back to the CD/TAPE IN on the PMP2000, feedback can
be produced as soon as you start recording. Be sure to interrupt the
connection to the CD/TAPE IN before recording!
(14) The phantom power supply provides the voltage necessary for the operation
of condenser microphones. Use the PHANTOM POWER switch to activate
the supply together for channels 1 - 12 (XLR connector). The LED above the
switch is lit when phantom power is on.
(15) This is the PMP2000's graphic stereo equalizer, which comprises two units
and can be used to adapt the sound to the room acoustics.
The stereo equalizer is effective on the main mix when both units have been
activated with the EQ IN buttons
upper position ("LEFT/RIGHT").
The stereo equalizer uses one unit each to process the main and monitor
mix signals, if both units are on and the MODE switch
position ("MON/MAIN").
(16) Use the EQ IN buttons to switch the two equalizer units on or off.
(17) 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).
(18) 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.
(19) The MONITOR LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the monitor mix.
(20) 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.
(21) With this MODE switch you can determine whether the PMP2000 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
(15) ).
(see
(22) 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.
(23) The MAIN LEVEL control governs the overall volume of the PMP2000.
(24) The MAIN LEVEL display reads the output level of the PMP2000. The upper
LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in limiter is activated, thus protecting
against signal peaks.
(25) Use the FX FOOTSW(itch) jack to connect any commercially available foot
controller. It allows you to bypass the effects unit.
(26) This is the balanced MONITOR output of your PMP2000. Use it to feed an
external monitor amp or active wedge.
(27) These two ¼" 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 PMP2000. The signal is taken pre-power amp. Of course, you can also use
only the left jack as a mono output.
(28) These two ¼" TS jacks can be used to connect external signals, such as the
main mix signal from an additional mixing console (pre-power amp).
(29) Here, you will find a list of all multi-effect presets available.

(30) 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.
(31) The Effect display reads the currently selected preset.
(32) Turn the PROGRAM control to select the effect presets. Press the control
briefly to confirm your selection.

(33) The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power
cord is supplied with the unit.
(34) 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.
(35) Use the POWER switch to put your PMP2000 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.

Always connect the BRIDGE jack to a loudspeaker with a minimum

impedance of 8 Ω!
◊ 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 PMP2000.
◊ When using the BRIDGE loudspeaker output, NEVER use any of the
other two connectors (RIGHT/MONO MAIN and LEFT/MONITOR) at the
same time!
(38) This is the LEFT/MONITOR loudspeaker output of your PMP2000, to which
you can connect the left loudspeaker of a stereo system (switch
its upper position). If you do a main mix in mono (switch
position), this loudspeaker output provides the monitor signal in mono.
