EUROPOWER PMP2000 Controls

(EN)

Controls

(1)

The

FX

control determines the signal level that

is routed from the respective channel to the

built-in effects 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

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.

(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.

(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 (see

(15)

).

(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.

(36)

This is the

RIGHT/MONO MAIN

loudspeaker

output of your PMP2000, where you can

connect the right loudspeaker of a stereo

system. For this purpose, switch

(21)

must be

set to its upper position. If, however, you run

a mono main mix (switch

(21)

set to its lower

position), this loudspeaker output provides the

main mix signal in mono.

(37)

The

BRIDGE

loudspeaker output allows

you to combine the left and right stereo

channel in one mono output, which is useful

for applications that require the use of one

loudspeaker only. To use the BRIDGE output,

switch

(21)

must be set to “LEFT/RIGHT”.

(38)

This is the

LEFT/MONITOR

loudspeaker

output of your PMP2000, to which you can

connect the left loudspeaker of a stereo

system (switch

(21)

set to its upper position).

If you do a main mix in mono (switch

(21)

set

to its lower position), this loudspeaker output

provides the monitor signal in mono.
