gives you plenty of functionality and a broad range of
connection and expansion options.
BEHRINGER is a company with its roots in professional
recording studio technology. For many years now we have

These include microphones and 19" devices of all kinds
(compressors, enhancers, noise gates, tube processors,
headphone amplifiers, digital effects devices, DI boxes, etc.),
monitor and P.A. speakers and professional live and recording
mixers. Our entire technical know-how has gone into your
PMP2000.
This manual first describes the terminology used,
so that you fully understand the PMP2000 and its
functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep
it for future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your PMP2000 was carefully packed at the factory and the
packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage
which may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately. Otherwise, claims for
damage or replacement may not be granted.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
and, to avoid overheating, please do not place the PMP2000 near
radiators etc.
Before you connect the PMP2000 to the mains, please
make sure that the voltage setting on the unit
matches the local voltage!
If you set the unit to a different mains voltage, be
sure to use a fuse of the correct type and rating.
Please refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS" for details.
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating! Please refer to the "SPECIFI-
CATIONS" for details.
The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord
and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international
safety certification requirements.
Please make sure that all units have a proper
ground connection. For your own safety, never
remove or disable the ground conductor from the
unit or of the AC power cord. The unit shall always
be connected to the mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.
