EUROPOWER PMP2000D Controls

1. The FX control determines the signal level that is routed from the respective channel to the built-in eff ects processor.
2. The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high frequencies of the respective channel.
3. Use the MID control to boost/cut the mid range.
4. The LOW control allows you to raise or lower the bass frequencies.
5. The MON control determines the channel's volume assigned to the monitor mix.
6. Use the LEVEL control to set the volume level of the respective channel.
7. Use the CLIP LED to ensure that the input gain is set properly. The CLIP LED should light up only with peak signals, but never all the time.
8. The PAD button reduces the channel input sensitivity by 25 dB. Thus, you can also connect high-level line signals to the respective channel input.
9. This HI-Z/LINE input can be used to connect line level signal sources, such as keyboards, electric and bass guitars.
10. This is the channel's balanced XLR microphone input.
11. The stereo line input of channels 7 - 12 can be used to connect, for example, keyboards with stereo outputs or a stereo drum computer.
12. The 2-TRACK/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 2-TRACK/LINE OUT RCA output provides the stereo main mix signal of your PMP2000D and can be routed to, say, a recording machine.
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 PMP2000D's graphic stereo equalizer, which comprises two units and can be used to adapt the sound to the room acoustics.
16. Use the EQ IN buttons to switch the two equalizer units on or off.
17. Press the LOW CUT button to activate the low-cut fi lter of channels 1 - 6. This fi lter eliminates unpleasant bass frequencies (e.g. microphone pop noise).
18. The FX TO MON control determines the eff ects intensity of the multi-eff ects processor as part of the monitor mix. Turn the control fully counter-clockwise to add no eff ect 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. POWER AMP switch determines whether the PMP2000D works as a stereo amplifi er (MAIN L/MAIN R), a dual amplifi er with the left channel dedicated to monitoring (MONITOR/MONO) or a single mono amplifi er with both channels dedicated solely to front-of-house sound reinforcement (BRIDGE/BRIDGE). In BRIDGE/BRIDGE mode, please use a single 2-pole speaker cable with pins 1+ and 2+ of OUTPUT B only.
22. The MAIN LEVEL control governs the overall volume of the PMP2000D.
23. The MAIN LEVEL display reads the output level of the PMP2000D. The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in limiter is activated, thus protecting against signal peaks.
24. The FX TO MAIN control functions as FX return for the built-in eff ects processor. Use this control to add the desired eff ect signal to the main mix. No eff ect signal is added when the FX TO MAIN is set fully counter-clockwise.
25. DIGITAL WIRELESS USB input accepts the optional BEHRINGER wireless microphone receiver. The LEDs indicate wireless microphone signal input. WIRELESS MIC 1/MIC 2 input signals are routed to channel 1 and channel 2.
26. AUX IN section accepts audio signals from external devices using 1⁄8" TRS stereo connectors. The AUX IN knob controls the input level.
27. Use the FX FOOTSW(itch) jack to connect any commercially available foot controller. It allows you to bypass the eff ects unit.
28. Here, you will fi nd a list of all multi-eff ect presets available.
29. This is the LED level meter of the eff ects processor. Please make sure that the clip LED lights up with signal peaks only. If it is lit constantly, this indicates that the eff ects processor is overdriven, which can lead to unpleasant distortion.
30. The Eff ect display reads the currently selected preset.
31. Turn the PROGRAM/PARAMETER [PUSH] control to select the eff ect presets. Press the control briefl y to confi rm your selection. PUSH and TURN the button to adjust one parameter of the currently chosen eff ect.
32. FX button activates the eff ects processor when pressed.
33. TAP button allows you to program time-based eff ects (such as delay) by pressing the button repeatedly in time with the desired tempo. The TAP LED fl ashes rhythmically to show the current tempo.
34. The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
35. Use the POWER switch to put your PMP2000D into operation. The POWER switch should always be in the "Off " position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
36. SERIAL NUMBER.
37. OUTPUT A uses pins 1+ and 1- to send out the left (LEFT) speaker channel over a single 2-pole speaker cable. As an option, you may also connect a single 4-pole speaker to OUTPUT A to carry both the left and right speaker outputs, in which case the left channel output will use OUTPUT A pins 1+ and 1-, while the right channel uses OUTPUT A pins 2+ and 2-. When the POWER OUTPUT switch is set to BRIDGE/BRIDGE mode, the bridged mono output uses pins 1+ and 2+ of OUTPUT B only (using a single 2-pole speaker cable), and you should therefore NOT connect any speaker cable to OUTPUT A.
38. OUTPUT B uses pins 1+ and 1- to send out the right (RIGHT) speaker channel over a single 2-pole speaker cable. When the POWER OUTPUT switch is set to BRIDGE/BRIDGE mode, the bridged mono output uses pins 1+ and 2+ of OUTPUT B only (using a single 2-pole speaker cable), and you should therefore NOT connect any speaker cable to OUTPUT A.
