1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment Your PMP 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.

Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection.
(2) The LEVEL SET LED illuminates when an optimum operating level has beenadjusted. (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; positionB = RCA connectors. (5) The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high frequency range of the respective channel.
Foryour own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. To avoid damage on the device, do not
earth the loudspeaker outputs connect the loudspeaker outputs to each other connect the loudspeaker outputs to those of other amplifiers
(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 FREQcontrol.
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 400Hzrespectively.
(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, alwaysuse
the left input. The mono signal will then be reproduced by both sidesequally.
PMP1000: This does not apply to the mono/stereo combination
(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,

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.
aslong 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. Adjustthe optimum input gain (0 dB) with the TRIM control (1). When PFL is on, thecorresponding 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.
(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. Thesignal will then be reproduced on both sides.
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 PMP1000s 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
(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

(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, theyalso 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
(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.
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.
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 stereoamplifier. 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
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.

PMP1000: The effects processor is operative all the time. Adjustthe
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.
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.

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 downwardrespectively.
Please note that the equalizer behaviour depends on the position of
(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.
the AMP MODE switch (see (27) ).
(41) The FX 1/2 TO MON 2 control allows you to determine the effect intensity of the multi-effects processor in the monitor 2 mix. No effect is sent to the monitor 2 mix with this control turned fully counter-clockwise. (42) The FX 1/2 TO MAIN control allows you to determine the effect intensity of the multi-effects processor in the main mix. No effect is sent to the main mix with this control turned fully counter-clockwise.

PMP1000: The FX TO MAIN control performs the same function as on the PMP3000 and PMP5000.
(54) PMP3000/PMP5000: With the CD/TAPE IN control you can adjust the volume of the line signal present at the CD/TAPE INPUT (55). Use the PFL switch to monitor the signal.
PMP1000: With the CD/TAPE RET fader you can adjust the line signal applied to the CD/TAPE INPUT (55). Use the CD/TAPE MUTE switch to mute thechannel. 2.4.1 Connectors
2.4 Main and monitor section
andtransparent. The surround control determines the effect intensity. This is a built-in effect, which widens the stereo panorama, thus making the sound more lively
(55) Use the CD/TAPE INPUT jacks (RCA) to connect an external stereo signal, such as a CD player, tape deck or other line-level sources. (56)
The VOICE CANCELLER filters vocal-specific frequencies from the CD/TAPE INPUT 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.
(44) Press the XPQ TO MAIN switch to activate this effect. (45) Pressing the AFL switch (after-fader listening) activates the solo function. If AFL is on for the corresponding channel in the main section, you will only hear the signal from this channel. Its volume can be adjusted with the fader. Switching AFL on has no effect on the main or monitor mix, as long as you dont move the fader. In this way, you can monitor one or several selected signals via the PHONES/CTRL jack (65). When AFL is on, the corresponding control LED illuminates.
The PMP1000 does not have an AFL function.
(57) The CD/TAPE OUTPUT provides the line level stereo signal (e.g. for a DATrecorder).
If the CD/TAPE OUT signal is connected to a recording machine whose
output signal is returned to the CD/TAPE IN, feedback can occur when you activate the record function on the recording machine. So,disconnect the CD/TAPE IN from the recording machine before you start recording or set the CD/TAPE input signal to zero!
(46) PMP1000: FX SEND fader.
PMP3000: FX fader. PMP5000: FX 1/2 fader. This is the master send fader for the signal routed to the effects processor and to the FX SEND output (63) (see also (11) and (12) ).
(58) PMP1000: The MAIN OUT jacks allow you to send the main line level signal to an external amplifier, when, for example, you want to use the mixer and effects section. The PMP3000 and PMP5000 have two separately controllable line level MAIN outputs (59) (MAIN 1/2). (59) Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MON1/2 SEND to monitor the signal mix created with the MON controls or to route it to the musicians on stage. (60) The PMP Series comes with a POWER AMP INSERT connection that is provided for various applications. This connection enables you to use the power amplifier of the device to amplify the output signal of another preamp. For example, it is possible to connect a larger mixer or preamp output (line signal) of an instrument amplifier. In this case, you only need an unbalanced, mono jack cable.

Furthermore, it is possible to use the POWER AMP INSERT as a conventional insert to add a compressor or graphic equalizer to the signal path, forinstance. Here, a balanced, stereo jack cable is required and the assignment of tip and ring needs to be observed according to Figure4.5 (see Chapter 4.2 Audio Connections). In this case, the ring is the so-called Send, which is connected to the input of the additional device, andthe tip is referred to as Return, which is connected to the output of the additionaldevice. Lastly, it is possible to tap the output signal of the devices mixer section from the POWER AMP INSERT in order to use a second, external power amp. A balanced, stereo jack cable is required with the ring (not the tip) connectedto the input of the external power amp. If you want to use the internal and external power amps at the same time, just wire the connectors ring and tiptogether.
(47) PMP1000: MON SEND fader.
PMP3000/PMP5000: MON 1/2 fader. These faders are used to set the monitor output volume (see also (9) and(10) ).
(48) PMP1000: The main mix allows you to control the volume from the Main 1 output with both faders.
PMP3000/PMP5000: The MAIN 1 fader controls the volume of the EUROPOWER. The main signal is also provided at the MAIN 1 output (see also (58) ).
(49) PMP3000/PMP5000: The MONO fader controls the mono mix signal (see also (63) ). (50) PMP5000: The SUB FILTER filters out frequencies above the selected setting, so that only low frequencies are sent to an (active) subwoofer via the MONOOUT (63) ). Set this switch to On to activate the filter. (51) PMP5000: The SUB FREQ control determines the cut-off frequency for the subwoofer output. This value can be adjusted from 30 to 200 Hz. (52) The PHONS/CTRL R control adjusts the headphone or control room volume (see also (65) ). (53) PMP3000/PMP5000: The MAIN 2 control determines the volume at the MAIN 2 output (see also (59) ), which is the same signal as at MAIN 1, but with extra output jacks and separate volume control.
(61) The FOOTSWITCH jack is for a standard footswitch. You can activate an effect bypass, thereby muting the effects processor. Use a dual foot switch for the PMP5000, so that you can enable/disable FX 1 and FX 2 independently of each other. In this case, the tip of the 1/4" plug controls FX1, and the ringFX 2.
(62) PMP3000/PMP5000: The MONO OUT is for connecting a subwoofer. ThePMP5000 has the additional possibility of setting the low-frequency range for the subwoofer.
Use the SUB FILTER control (50) to adjust the frequency.
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.

Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose signals you
(63) The FX SEND connector can be used to route the FX SEND signal from the input channel, for example, to the input of an external effects device. Sincethe PMP5000 has two FX controls per input signal (see (12) ), both FX SEND 1+2 are present at one jack.
Please note: The SEND signal is in parallel with the FX SEND jacks and
with the effects processor, so that both can be controlled together by one control.
For the FX signals, use a 1/4" stereo plug connected as follows: FX 1 = tip;
