1.2 The manual

This manual is designed to give you both an overview of all control elements and to provide details about how to use them. To provide you with a clear structure, we have grouped the control elements according to their function. They can easily be found on the enclosed numbered illustrations. If you need more detailed information on specific topics, please visit our web site at behringer.com.

2. Control Elements

A detailed description of all functions of your power mixer can be found in the following chapters. Please also refer to the enclosed sheet with the numbered illustrations to get a good overview of the control layout.

2.1 Mono and stereo channels

(1)Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or disconnect a signal source to an input. TRIM controls both the microphone and the LINE input. The black scale shows the microphone gain (+10 to +60 dB on channels with XENYX MIC PREAMPS and 0 to +40 dB on conventional microphone inputs; PMP1000 only, channels 5/6 and 7/8).

The “LINE” scale indicates the sensitivity of the LINE input, ranging from +10 to -40 dBu.

PMP1000: The mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8 have a sensitivity of +20 to -20 dBu.

(2)The LEVEL SET LED illuminates when an optimum operating level has been adjusted.

(3)The mono channels are equipped with a high-slope LOW CUT filter eliminating unwanted low-frequency signals like rumble noise.

(4)PMP3000/PMP5000 (stereo channels): Press the A/B button to switch from 1/4" jacks to RCA connectors, and vice versa. Position “A” = 1/4" jacks; position “B” = RCA connectors.

(5)The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high frequency range of the respective channel.

6EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000 User Manual

(6)Use the MID control to boost or cut the midrange frequencies.

(7)PMP5000: The PMP5000 has an additional semi-parametric filter for the midrange frequencies in the mono channels (tunable from 100 Hz to 8 kHz). Adjust the boost/cut with the MID control, and the frequency with the FREQ control.

The stereo channels contain a stereo EQ section. The cut-off frequencies of the high and low bands are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively, while the center frequencies of the high-mid and low-mid bands are 3 kHz and 400 Hz respectively.

(8)The LOW control allows you to boost/cut the low frequency range.

(9)With the MON(ITOR) control you can adjust the volume of each channel in the monitor mix.

(10)The PMP3000 and PMP5000 feature a second MON control (MON 2) for the volume of the second monitor bus.

(11)The FX control determines the signal level sent from each channel to the built-in effects processor; this signal is also present at the FX SEND jack (see (64)).

(12)The PMP5000 has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that you can use two effects simultaneously. Accordingly, the PMP5000 also has two effect aux buses, which have one output jack in common (see (46) and (64)).

Please note that the effects processor signal will be inaudible, as long as the FX TO MON/MAIN controls (40), (41), (42) are set fully counter-clockwise.

(13)The PAN(ORAMA) control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo main mix.

(14)The BAL(ANCE) control for the stereo channels corresponds to the PAN control for the mono channels. It determines the relative volume of the left and right input signals before they are routed to the stereo main output.

(15)PMP3000/PMP5000: When you press the PFL button (Pre Fader Listening) the left LED (34) shows the pre-fader input gain of the channel. Adjust the optimum input gain (0 dB) with the TRIM control (1). When PFL is on, the corresponding­ LED illuminates.

If the LEVEL SET LED (2) is illuminated constantly, the signal is within the optimum operating level range. However, if the CLIP LED indicates that the input gain is too high, you should reduce the level slightly with the TRIM control. The CLIP LED should never be illuminated all the time, only with signal peaks.

(16)The MUTE switch mutes the channel in the main mix. The pre-fader signals (monitor buses) remain operative. When MUTE is pressed, the corresponding control LED illuminates.

(17)The channel fader controls the channel signal level in the main mix.

2.1.1 Input section

(18)Each mono input channel is equipped with a balanced microphone input (XLR connector) which provides +48 V phantom power for condenser microphones at the touch of a button (see rear panel).

PMP1000: The two stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 have an additional balanced XLR microphone input with +48 V phantom power.

Be sure to switch off your audio system before you activate the phantom power supply to protect your monitor speakers from switch-on thumps.

(19)Each mono input features one LINE IN connector (1/4" jack), which can be used with either balanced or unbalanced signals.

Please remember to use either the microphone or the line input on a specific channel. Never use both at the same time!

When you connect a mono line signal to a stereo channel, always use the left input. The mono signal will then be reproduced by both sides equally.

PMP1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.

(20)INSERT I/O. Insert points or simply inserts are used to process a signal with dynamic processors or equalizers. They are pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-MON/FX SEND. Unlike reverb and other effects, which are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processors usually process the entire signal.

So, aux send buses are not the best solution. Dynamic processors need to be inserted directly into the signal path. Once processed, the signal then returns to the mixing console at the same point where it left. Signal interruption takes place only if a plug is inserted into the corresponding jack (1/4" stereo plug: tip = signal output, ring = input). All mono input channels are equipped with inserts.

(21)The stereo channels have a TRIM control for gain adjustment, with the input sensitivity ranging from +20 to -20 dB.

PMP1000: The stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 feature an additional XLR connector for microphones whose gain can be set from 0 to +40 dB.

(22)Each stereo channel has two line-level inputs (1/4" jacks) for the left and right channels. If only the jack marked “L” is used, the channel is mono. The signal will then be reproduced on both sides.

PMP1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and 7/8.

PMP1000: Channels 13/14 and 15/16 are routed to the main mix without additional tone or volume adjustment. For example, using the channels 13/14 and 15/16 you can connect a submixer and utilize the PMP1000’s power amplifier.

(23)PMP3000: The stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 are equipped with additional RCA connectors.

PMP5000: The stereo channels 13/14 and 15/16 are equipped with additional RCA connectors.

PMP3000/PMP5000: Please note that you need to set the A/B selector

(4)to A (1/4") or B (RCA) when you connect a signal to the input.

(24)PMP3000/PMP5000: Each of the two stereo channels has two monitor controls (MON 1/2) and a LEVEL control (25). Like the other channels, they also feature a PFL switch.

(25)Instead of a fader this channel has a rotary LEVEL control.

(26)The phantom power supply provides the voltage necessary for the operation of condenser microphones. Use the PHANTOM switch to activate the supply for the XLR connectors of the input channels. The +48 V LED will illuminate when phantom power is on. In most cases, dynamic microphones can still be used, as long as they are connected in a balanced configuration. If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your microphone!

With phantom power switched on, you must never connect microphones to the console (or to a stage/wall box). Also, be sure to mute the monitor/P.A. speakers, before you turn on the phantom power supply. After switching on, please allow the system to stabilize for about one minute, before you adjust the input gain.

7EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000 User Manual

Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and 3 interconnected) on the MIC input jacks, if you are going to use the phantom power supply.

(27)The AMP MODE switch determines the mode of operation of the PMP amplifier stage:

PMP1000:

MAIN: In the “MAIN” position the mixer works as a stereo amplifier.

MON: In this mode the monitor signal is present at OUTPUT A (71) and the main signal at OUTPUT B (70) (both are mono).

BRIDGE (bridged mono mode): In BRIDGE AMP MODE the output power of OUTPUT A is added to that of OUTPUT B, i.e. OUTPUT B delivers twice its normal output power.

PMP3000/PMP5000:

MAIN L/MAIN R. In position MAIN MIX, the mixer works as a stereo amplifier.

MON 1/MONO. In this mode the monitor 1 signal is present at OUTPUT A (71) and the main signal at OUTPUT B (70) (both are mono).

BRIDGE (bridged mono mode): In BRIDGE AMP MODE the output power of OUTPUT A is added to that of OUTPUT B, i.e. OUTPUT B delivers twice its normal output power.

In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one loudspeaker with an impedance of at least 8 Ω to the OUTPUT B jack! Please note that OUTPUT A must NEVER be used in BRIDGE mode!

In all other operating modes, the minimum impedance of the speaker must not fall below 4 Ω.

Please note that the power delivered to the speaker connected to OUTPUT B in BRIDGE AMP MODE is considerably higher than the power provided to the speakers wired to the parallel speaker outputs.

Please read the information given on the rear panel of the power mixer.

Information on how to properly connect your speaker with regard to polarity can be found on the rear of the unit (PIN assignment) (see also (71) and (72)).

(28)PMP5000: Use the BEHRINGER SPEAKER PROCESSING switch to activate a filter that allows you to adapt the mixer to the characteristics of your loudspeakers. If the speakers have a limited frequency response in the bass range, this function allows you to filter this range at the output signal of the mixer and thus adapt it optimally to the frequency response of the speakers.

(29)PMP1000/PMP5000: If STANDBY is pressed, all input channels are muted. During pauses you can prevent the microphones from picking up noise or interference, which would then be reproduced by the P.A. system or

possibly damage the speaker diaphragms. The benefit is that all faders can be left untouched while you play back music from CD via the CD/TAPE inputs (see (55)). There is also no need to move the faders and lose your mix.

2.2 Equalizer and FBQ

(30)Your power mixer features a graphic 7-band equalizer, which allows you to fine-tune the sound depending on the room acoustics. In the center position the frequency response is not effected. To boost or cut a

certain frequency range, simply move the corresponding fader upward or downward respectively.

Please note that the equalizer behaviour depends on the position of the AMP MODE switch (see (27)).

(31)

Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the Feedback Detection

 

 

system (the FBQ will be active only if you have switched on

 

 

 

 

the equalizer (33) before). Frequencies causing feedback are

 

 

shown by brightly lit fader LEDs. All other LEDs will be darker.

 

Now, cut the frequency range in question until feedback disappears (the LED gets darker or goes out). This function is available for both the main and monitor mix.

PMP1000: The switch FBQ FEEDBACK DETECTION performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.

(32)Use the MAIN/MON 1 switch to select whether the equalizer processes the main or the monitor mix. When not pressed, the stereo equalizer processes only the main mix. When the switch is pressed, the EQ processes only the monitor mix.

PMP1000: The MAIN MIX/MONITOR switch performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.

(33)Press the EQ IN switch to activate the equalizer. The fader LEDs illuminate when the EQ is on.

(34)Use this LED display to control the output level of the main signal. The upper LIM LED illuminates when the internal amp protection circuit responds to levels that are too high.

PMP1000: The POWER LED is illuminated when you switch the unit on.

The LIM LEDs and the LED display do NOT light up when an external signal is fed in via the PWR AMP INSERT jacks (61).

2.3 Effects section

(35)List of all multi-effects processor presets.

(36)The LED level meter on the effects module should always show a sufficiently high level. Make sure that the Clip LED illuminates with signal peaks only. If it is constantly illu-minated, the effects processor is overloading, which can lead to unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader (PMP1000) or FX/FX 1/2 fader (PMP3000/PMP5000) controls the level sent to the effects module and to the FX SEND output jacks.

(37)The effects display always reads the currently selected preset.

(38)PMP3000/PMP5000: Press the FX 1/2 IN switch to activate the effects processor.

(39)PMP1000/PMP3000: Turn the PROGRAM control to select an effects algorithm (preset number starts flashing). Press this control to activate the effect selected (PMP5000: FX 1/2 (PUSH)).

PMP1000: The effects processor is operative all the time. Adjust the effect intensity for the MAIN or MON signals with controls (40) or

(42)respectively.

PMP5000: The PMP5000 has two separate effects processors, which can be used independently of one another. Enable one or both processors with the FX1/2 IN (38) buttons.

(40)PMP3000/PMP5000: The FX 1/2 TO MON 1 control allows you to set the intensity of the multi-effects processors in the monitor mix. No effect is sent to the monitor mix when this control is set fully counter-clockwise.

PMP1000: The FX TO MON control performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.
