EUROPOWER PMH518M
2.1 Input channels
The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high-
frequency range of the respective channel.
The LOW control allows you too boost/cut the low-
frequency range.
The FX control determines the signal level sent from each
channel to the built-in effects processor.
Please note that the effects processor signal will
be inaudible when the FX LEVEL control (
fully counter-clockwise.
The LEVEL control adjusts the channel signal level in the
main mix.
The CLIP LED is very useful to control the input gain. It
should never be constantly illuminated (only with signal
peaks).
The PAD switch reduces the input sensitivity of the channel
by approx. 30 dB, to connect for example line-level signals.
The balanced LINE IN input (1/4" TRS) can be used for
line-level signal sources, e.g. keyboards.
Each channel has a balanced MIC microphone input with
XLR connectors.
Please remember to use either the microphone or
the line input of a channel at a time, but never both
at the same time!
2.2 Effects section
Be sure that the CLIP LED illuminates for signal peaks only.
If it is illuminated all the time, it is a sign that the effects
processor is overloading and hence producing unpleasant
distortion. The SIG LED below illuminates when the effects
processor receives an input signal.
The EFFECT display shows the currently selected preset.
Turn the PROGRAM control to select an effects preset
(preset number starts flashing). Push the control briefly to
confirm your selection.
Press the FX IN button to activate the effects processor.
2.3 Main section
Your power mixer is equipped with a graphic 7-band
equalizer. Use the EQ to adjust the sound to the room
acoustics.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the FBQ Feedback
Detection System. The frequencies causing feedback are
shown by the brightly lit fader LEDs. Simply lower the level
of the respective frequency range until feedback
disappears and the LED goes out.
Turn the FX LEVEL control to add effect to the main mix.
When it is fully counterclockwise, no effect signal is added.
The 2TR LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track
In signal (see
).
Use this 5-digit LED meter to control the output level of the
main signal. The upper LIM LED illuminates when the internal
amp protection circuit responds to output levels that are
too high.
The MASTER control is used to adjust the main output
volume.
2.3.1 Connectors
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 REC OUT (RCA) provides line-level signals from the
power mixer to a DAT recorder, for example (two identical
mono signals).
If the REC OUT signal is connected to a recorder
whose output signal is returned to the 2TR IN,
feedback can occur when you activate the record
function. So, disconnect the 2TR IN from the
recorder, before you start recording!
The PMH518M features an AMP INSERT connector for
different applications. You can use just the power stage
of the mixer for connecting a preamp for example. For this
application you can use a 1/4" TS connector where the
signal is sent over the tip of the plug. Additionally you can
use the AMP INSERT as output, so you can use just the
mixer section and connect a separate power amp here.
For this application you have to use a 1/4" TRS connector,
because the signal is send over the ring of the plug.
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.
Please note: 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.
