EUROPOWER PMP860M/PMP880S/PMP1280S
The PMP860M also has three operating modes, since it can
be operated in two modes with the switch in its upper position
(MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode), depending on the pin
connections of the speaker cables. In MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE)
mode power of both outputs is added and provided at
OUTPUT B (Speakon cable, pins 1+/2+). With the normal pin
connections (Speakon cable, pins 1+/1-) a main signal is
provided in this mode at OUTPUT A and B (not bridged). In
MON/MAIN mode, the mixer can also be used as a dual
mono amplifier, i.e. OUTPUT A provides the monitor signal,
while the main signal is present at OUTPUT B.

Use the SPEAKER PROCESSING switch to activate a
filter that adapts the mixer to the specifications of your
loudspeakers. If the speakers have a limited frequency
response in the bass range, it allows you to adapt it optimally
to the frequency response of the speakers.
If STANDBY is pressed, all input channels are muted.
During breaks you can thus prevent the microphones from
picking up noise or interference, which would then be
reproduced by the P.A. system. The advantage is that all
faders can be left untouched while you play a CD via the
CD/TAPE inputs (see
down the faders of muted channels and lose your mix.

2.3.1 Connectors

The FOOTSWITCH connector is for a standard
footswitch. You can activate an “effect bypass” that mutes
the effects processor. Please use a dual footswitch for
the PMP880S/PMP1280S, so that you can enable/disable
FX1 and FX2 independently of each other. In this case, the
tip of the ¼" plug controls FX1, and the ring FX2.
The FX OUT connector is used to route the FX SEND signal
from the input channels, for example, to the input of an
external effects processor. The PMP880S/PMP1280S has
two FX controls per input signal (see
FX OUT connectors (FX OUT 1 and FX OUT 2).
+
Use the AUX IN ¼" inputs to route an external stereo signal
to the main mix. This can be the signal generated by an
external effects processor. Use the left input for mono
signals, which are then reproduced on both stereo sides.
The PMP860M has only one mono AUX IN connector.
The AUX IN control adjusts the volume of the external
signal in the main mix.
The 2TR IN RCA input allows you to feed in external stereo
signals, e.g. from a CD player, tape deck or other line-level
source.

The VOICE CANCELLER filters vocal-specific frequencies
from the 2TR IN signal. This function can be used for
karaoke, i.e. you can remove the vocals from a song and
then sing along with the music yourself.
The REC OUT (RCA) provides line-level signals from the
power mixer to a DAT recorder, for example. On the
PMP880S/PMP1280S the REC OUT signal is stereo and on
the PMP860M two identical mono signals are provided.
+
The MAIN ¼" connectors allow you to send the main signal
to an external amplifier, when you only wish to use the
mixer and effects section. The signal is taken pre-power
stage of the mixer. It is also possible to use only the left
jack of the output. The PMP860M has only one mono output
connector.
Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor
speakers to the mono MONITOR output to monitor the
signal mix created with the MON controls or to route it to
the musicians on stage.
Use the POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The
POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when
you are about to connect the unit to the mains.
