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.
Before you get started1.1
Shipment1.1.1
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.
Initial operation1.1.2
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.

Control Elements2.
Front panel2.1
Your EUROPOWER PMP2000 comes with 14 input channels, which only differ
in terms of pad switch, peak LED and interface panel. Since the EQ, effect,
monitor and level controls are identical on all channels, they will be described
only once on the enclosed sheet.
The [1] FX control determines the signal level that is routed from the respective
channel to the built-in effects processor.
Please note that the effects processor is muted as long as the FX TO ◊
MAIN control ((22)) is set fully counter-clockwise.
The [2] HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high frequencies of the
respective channel.
Use the [3] MID control to boost/cut the mid range.
The [4] LOW control allows you to raise or lower the bass frequencies.
The [5] MON control determines the channel’s volume assigned to the
monitor mix.
Use the [6] LEVEL control to set the volume level of the respective channel.
Use the [7] 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.
The [8] PAD button reduces the channel input sensitivity by 25 dB. Thus, you
can also connect high-level line signals to the respec tive channel input.
This [9] HI-Z/LINE input can be used to connect line level signal sources, such as
keyboards, electric and bass guitars.
connect the loudspeaker outputs to those of other amplifiers•
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING INSTALLATION
The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting
stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the
transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.
This is the channel’s balanced XLR microphone input.[10]
The stereo line input of channels 7 - 12 can be used to connect, for example, [11]
keyboards with stereo outputs or a stereo drum computer.
Please remember to use either the microphone or the line input on a ◊
specific channel. Never use both at the same time. This rule applies to
channels 1 - 12.
When you connect a mono line signal to channels 7 - 12, please always ◊
use the left input. The mono signal will then be reproduced on both
stereo sides.
7 EUROPOWER PMP2000 User Manual
behringer.com
The [12] 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.
The [13] CD/TAPE/LINE OUT RCA output provides the stereo main mix signal of
your PMP2000 and can be routed to, say, a recording machine.
When the CD/TAPE OUT signal is connected to a tape deck whose output ◊
signal is routed back to the CD/TAPE IN on the PMP2000, feedback can
be produced as soon as you start recording. Be sure to interrupt the
connection to the CD/TAPE IN before recording!
The phantom power supply provides the voltage necessary for the operation [14]
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.
This is the PMP2000’s graphic stereo equalizer, which comprises two units [15]
and can be used to adapt the sound to the room acoustics.
The stereo equalizer is effective on the main mix when both units have been •
activated with the EQ IN buttons (16) and the MODE switch (21) is set to its
upper position (“LEFT/RIGHT”).
The stereo equalizer uses one unit each to process the main and monitor •
mix signals, if both units are on and the MODE switch (21) is set to its lower
position (“MON/MAIN”).
Use the [16] EQ IN buttons to switch the two equalizer units on or off.
Press the [17] RUMBLE FILTER button to activate the low-cut filter of
channels 1 - 6. This filter eliminates unpleasant bass frequencies
(e.g. microphone pop noise).
The [18] 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.
The [19] MONITOR LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the monitor mix.
Use the [20] MONITOR LEVEL display to control the monitor signal level.
The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in limiter is ac tivated, thus
protecting against overload.
With this [21] 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)).
The [22] 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.
The [23] MAIN LEVEL control governs the overall volume of the PMP2000.
This is the [30] LED level meter of the effec ts 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.
The Effect display reads the currently selec ted preset. [31]
Turn the [32] PROGRAM control to select the effect presets. Press the control
briefly to confirm your selection.
Rear panel 2.2
The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power [33]
cord is supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER[34] . 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.
Use the [35] 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.
Attention: 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.
This is the [36] 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.
The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here must not fall ◊
below 4 Ω.
The [37] 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”.
Always connect the BRIDGE jack to a loudspeaker with a minimum ◊
impedance of 8 Ω!
Please note that the power delivered to the speaker connected to ◊
the BRIDGE output 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 your PMP2000.
When using the BRIDGE loudspeaker output, NEVER use any of the ◊
other two connec tors (RIGHT/MONO MAIN and LEFT/MONITOR) at the
same time!
The [24] 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.
Use the [25] FX FOOTSW(itch) jack to connect any commercially available foot
controller. It allows you to bypass the effects unit.
This is the balanced [26] MONITOR output of your PMP2000. Use it to feed an
external monitor amp or active wedge.
These two [27] 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.
These two [28] ¼" TS jacks can be used to connect external signals, such as the
main mix signal from an additional mixing console (pre-power amp).
Here, you will find a list of all multi-effect presets available.[29]
This is the [38] 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.
The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here must not fall ◊
below 4 Ω.
Information on how to properly connect your speaker with regard to ◊
polarity can be found on the rear of the unit (PIN assignment).

Effects Processor3.
24-Bit Multi-Effects Processor
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated
effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger
of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset,
completely simplifying the handling. These effect presets are designed to be
added to dry signals. If you move the FX TO MAIN/MON control, you mix the
channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose signals you ◊
don’t wish to process.
Installation4.
Mains voltage4.1
Before connecting the PMP2000 to the mains, please carefully check that your
equipment is set to the correct voltage! Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of
the same type and rating!
Mains connection4.2
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.
Audio connections4.3
The in and outputs of your BEHRINGER PMP2000 are designed as unbalanced
¼" mono jacks—except for the mono channel line inputs, which come as
balanced ¼" stereo jacks. Of course, all in and outputs work with both balanced
and unbalanced connectors. The tape ins and outs are on stereo RCA connectors.
Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the ◊
PMP2000. During installation and operation, the user must have
sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect
the operation of the unit.
