6 EUROPOWER PMP518M User Manual

Input channels2.1

The [1] HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high-frequency range of the

respective channel.

The [2] LOW control allows you too boost/cut the low-frequency range.

The [3] FX control determines the signal level sent from each channel to the

built-in eects processor.

Please note that the eﬀects processor signal will be inaudible when the ◊

FX LEVEL control ([15]) is set fully counter-clockwise.

The [4] LEVEL control adjusts the channel signal level in the main mix.

The [5] CLIP LED is very useful to control the input gain. It should never be

constantly illuminated (only with signal peaks).

The [6] PAD switch reduces the input sensitivity of the channel by approx.

30 dB, to connect for example line-level signals.

The balanced [7] LINE IN input (¼" TRS) can be used for line-level signal

sources, e.g. keyboards.

Each channel has a balanced [8] MIC microphone input with XLR connectors.

Please remember to use either the microphone or the line input of a ◊

channel at a time, but never both at the same time!

Eects section2.2

Be sure that the [9] CLIP LED illuminates for signal peaks only. If it is illuminated

all the time, it is a sign that the eects processor is overloading and hence

producing unpleasant distortion. The SIG LED below illuminates when the

eects processor receives an input signal.

The [10] EFFECT display shows the currently selected preset.

Turn the [11] PROGRAM control to select an eects preset

(preset number starts ashing). Push the control briey to

conrm your selection.

Press the [12] FX IN button to activate the eects processor.

Main section2.3

Your power mixer is equipped with a graphic 7-band equalizer. [13]

Use the EQ to adjust the sound to the room acoustics.

Press the [14] FBQ IN switch to activate the FBQ Feedback Detection System.

The frequencies causing feedback are shown by the brightly lit fader LEDs.

Simply lower the level of the respective frequency range until feedback

disappears and the LED goes out.

Turn the [15] FX LEVEL control to add eect to the main mix. When it is fully

counter clockwise, no eect signal is added.

The [16] CD/TAPE IN control adjusts the volume of the CD/TAPE IN signal (see [19]).

Use this 5-digit LED meter to control the output level of the main signal. [17]

The upper LIM LED illuminates when the internal amp protection circuit

responds to output levels that are too high.

The [18] MASTER control is used to adjust the main output volume.

Connectors2.3.1

The [19] CD/TAPE IN connector (RCA) allows you to feed in external stereo

signals, e.g. from a CD player, tape deck or other line-level source.

The [20] REC OUT (RCA) provides line-level signals from the power mixer to a

DAT recorder, for example (two identical mono signals).

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, disconnect the CD/TAPE IN from the recorder,

before you start recording!

The PMP518M features an [21] AMP INSERT connector for dierent applications.

You can use just the power stage of the mixer for connecting a preamp for

example. For this application you can use a ¼" TS connector where the signal

is sent over the tip of the plug. Additionally you can use the AMP INSERT

as output, so you can use just the mixer section and connect a separate

power amp here. For this application you have to use a ¼" TRS connector,

because the signal is send over the ring of the plug.

Use the [22] POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The POWER switch

should always be in the “O” 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.
