channel to the built-in effects processor; this signal is also present at the FX OUT jack (see (32)). The PMP980S/ PMP1280S has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that you can use two effects simulteneously. Accordingly, it also provides two effect Aux paths (see (32)). Please note that the effects processor signal will be inaudible when the FX RETURN control (21) is set fully counter-clockwise. [6] For the mono input channels, the PMP980S/PMP1280S has a PAN(ORAMA) control which determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo main mix. The PMP960M has no PAN on the input channels, because it is a dualmono power mixer. [7] The BAL(ANCE) control for the stereo channels of the PMP980S/PMP1280S corresonds 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. The PMP960M has no stereo channels and hence no BAL control, because it is a dual-mono power mixer. [8] The LEVEL control adjusts the channel signal level in the main mix.

2.3.1 Connectors

[31] The FOOTSWITCH connector is for a standard footswitch.
You can activate an effect bypass that mutes the effects processor. Please use a dual footswitch for the PMP980S/ PMP1280S, so that you can enable/disable FX1 and FX2 independently of each other. In this case, the tip of the " plug controls FX1, and the ring FX2. [32] The FX OUT connector is used to route the FX SEND signal from the input channels, for example, to the input of an external effects processor. The PMP980S/PMP1280S has two FX controls per input signal (see {5}) and also two FX OUT connectors (FX OUT 1 and FX OUT 2). Please note: When you connect a mono plug to one of the FX OUT jacks, the signal path from the respective FX send to the built-in effects processor is interrupted. For each FX send you can either use the built-in effect or the corresponding FX OUT jack (for an external effect), but never both at the same time. When you use a stereo plug (tip and ring interconnected) you can use the built-in effects processor and the FX OUT jacks in parallel. [33] Use the AUX IN " inputs to route an external stereo signal to the main mix. This can be the signal generated by an external effects processor. Use the left input for mono signals, which are then reproduced on both stereo sides. The PMP960M has only one mono AUX IN connector. [34] The AUX IN control adjusts the volume of the external signal in the main mix. [35] The CD/TAPE IN RCA input allows you to feed in external stereo signals, e.g. from a CD player, tape deck or other line-level source. [36] The VOICE CANCELLER filters vocal-specific frequencies from the CD/TAPE IN signal. This function can be used for karaoke, i.e. you can remove the vocals from a song and then sing along with the music yourself. [37] The REC OUT (RCA) provides line-level signals from the power mixer to a DAT recorder, for example. On the PMP980S/PMP1280S the REC OUT signal is stereo and on the PMP960M two identical mono signals are provided. If the REC OUT signal is connected to a recorder whose output signal is returned to the CD/TAPE IN, feedback can occur when you activate the record function. So, discon-
EUROPOWER PMP960M/PMP980S/PMP1280S User Manual nect the CD/TAPE IN from the recorder, before you start recording! [38] The MAIN " connectors allow you to send the main signal to an external amplifier, when you only wish to use the mixer and effects section. The signal is taken pre-power stage of the mixer. It is also possible to use only the left jack of the output. The PMP960M has only one mono output connector. [39] Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the mono MONITOR output to monitor the signal mix created with the MON controls or to route it to the musicians on stage. [40] 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.

OUTPUT B. PMP960M: Either the main or the bridged main mono signal is provided at OUTPUT B (see (28)). When you use a cable with the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-), it is possible in MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode to take the mono main signal from this output (not bridged). Please also refer to chapter 4.3 Loudspeaker connection. In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one loudspeaker with an impedance of at least 8 to OUTPUT B (pins 1+/2+)! Please note that OUTPUT A must NEVER be used in BRIDGE mode (with pin connections 1+/2+)! In all other operating modes, the minimum impedance of the speaker connected must not fall below 4. Information on how to properly connect your speaker with regard to polarity can be found on the rear of the mixer (PINOUTs). [45] SERIAL NUMBER.

3. Digital Effects Processor
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 RET control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal. Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose signals you dont wish to process.

ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Please also read the information given in chapter 6 Specifications. [43] Loudspeaker OUTPUT A. PMP980S/PMP1280S: Depending on the operating mode selected (see (28)) either the left main signal or the monitor signal is provided at OUTPUT A. Never use this output in bridged mono mode. PMP960M: In MON/MAIN mode, the monitor signal is provided at OUTPUT A (see (28)). Never use this output in bridged mono mode, except when you use a cable with the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-). In this case you can take the mono main signal from this output in MAIN/ MAIN (BRIDGE) mode (not bridged). Please also refer to chapter 4.3 Loudspeaker connection. The impedance of the loudspeaker connected must not fall below 4. Please note that the power delivered to the speaker in bridged mono mode is considerably higher than in other operating modes. Please read the information given on the rear panel of the power mixer. [44] Loudspeaker OUTPUT B. PMP980S/PMP1280S: Depending on the operating mode selected (see (28)) either the right main signal, the mono main signal or the bridged mono signal is provided at

4.3 Loudspeaker connection
Your PMP mixer is equipped with high-quality twist-lock professional style loudspeaker connectors, which ensure safe and trouble-free operation. This connector was especially developed for high-power loudspeakers. Once it is plugged in, it safely locks into position and cannot be accidentally disengaged. It prevents the occurrence of electrical shock and ensures the correct polarity. Each of the connectors carries only the assigned single signal (see tab. 4.1/fig. 4.7 and the information on the rear panel of the power mixer).

EUROPOWER PMP960M/PMP980S/PMP1280S User Manual Both the PMP980S/PMP1280S and the PMP960M can be set-up for dual mono operations. The POWER AMP switch (28) must be set to its lower (PMP960M) or center position (PMP980S/ PMP1280S). The two loudspeaker outputs provide the main and monitor signals independently of each other and to two loudspeakers each, which are wired in parallel.

5. Wiring Examples

For stereo operation the POWER AMP switch (28) of the PMP980S/PMP1280S must be set to its upper position (MAIN L/ MAIN R). Outputs A and B deliver the stereo main signal to the P.A. speakers. Two active speakers, wired in parallel, are connected to the preamp monitor output. They are used as on-stage monitor speakers. The effects processors can be switched on and off with a dual footswitch. This set-up is not possible with the PMP960M (no stereo operation possible).
