PMP980S/PMP960M
6/10 x 2 Live
Powered Mixers
Classic control, state-of-the-art sound
Each of the mic inputs on the PMP980S
and PMP960M contains top-quality built-in
mic preamps with switchable +48V phantom
power for condenser mics—just like in our
studio mixers. Suddenly you can leave the
mic preamps at home, and the kind of sound
quality that was once only available in the
studio is ready to go wherever you do.
Plus with the built-in 24-bit FX processor,
you get 100 mind-blowing digital eff ect presets
such as delay, chorus and reverb you can apply
to any channel, as well as to the monitors and
main output. No outboard gear needed — and
the PMP980S comes with dual FX processors for
double the eff ects!
These mixers come loaded with BEHRINGERs
amazing FBQ feedback detection system, which
automatically pinpoints trouble frequencies
so you can snuff them out before you—or the
audience—go deaf. Just touch a button and
watch as trouble frequencies are indicated by
red LEDs on the 7-band graphic EQ.
The Ins and Outs
The PMP980S and PMP960M give you loads
of fl exibility in accommodating whatever the
center of attention happens to be. Channels
1-6 of both mixers are for mics, bass guitars
or other mono instruments. The PMP980S
features channels 7-8 and 9-10, which can
be used as stereo channels. In the case of the
PMP980S, that means you can connect up to 8
microphones or other mono instruments or six
mics or mono instruments along with
two stereo instruments (keyboards, for
example) or the A/V equivalent.
In the bottom right corner of the
mixer, you’ll fi nd the FX, INPUT TO
MAIN and OUTPUT sections. The FX
section features a FOOTSW(itch) input.
This lets you connect a footswitch like
the AB200 so you can remotely
enable/disable either FX channel. FX
OUT 1 & 2 are used to connect up to
two outboard eff ects processors.
The AUX IN ¼" inputs in the INPUT
TO MAIN section allow you to route an
external stereo signal to the main mix.
The AUX IN control adjusts the volume
of the external signal in the main mix.
Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in
external stereo signals from CD players
or tape decks. The VOICE CANCELLER
switch allows you to eliminate the
vocals from pre-recorded music for
karaoke applications.
In the OUTPUT section, the REC
OUT RCA outputs send line-level
signals from the mixer to a recording
device, so you can fi nally get to work
on that triple-live album you’ve always
dreamed of. The MAIN ¼" connectors
are there just in case you want to
connect more amps. Connect your
monitor power amps or active monitor
speakers to the MONITOR output.
Channel your inner sound guru
You’ll be operating this mixer like
it’s second nature thanks to its simple,
intuitive layout. Each channel has a
three-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) blue;
MON(itor) level in gray; FX1 in red; FX2
in orange (PMP980S only); PAN in black
(only PMP980S); LEVEL in white. There’s
also a switchable PAD and CLIP LED
per channel.
Once you’ve set the levels on
individual channels, it’s easy to create
your MAIN and MONITOR mixers.
The MAIN and MONITOR sections are
nearly identical, featuring graphic
7-band EQs that allow you to adjust
the sound to the room acoustics.
This is where the FBQ feature comes
in particularly handy. Press the FBQ
IN switch to activate the Feedback
Detection System. Trouble frequencies
are indicated by brightly lit fader LEDs.
Just lower the level of the respective
frequency range until feedback
disappears and the LED goes out.
The FX RET controls add the
selected eff ect signal to the main
or monitor mix. When both are
completely counterclockwise, no eff ect
is applied. The 2TR IN control adjusts
the volume of the 2 Track signal, if you
have connected one.
