EUROPOWER PMX1000/PMX3000/PMX5000

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! With the PMX1000/PMX3000/PMX5000 you

have acquired a state-of-the-art power mixer that sets new

standards. Right from the very start it has been our goal to

design a revolutionary unit that can be used for a wide variety of

applications. Indeed, this overwhelming power mixer gives you

plenty of functionality and a broad range of connection and

expansion options.

Your PMX features our revolutionary COOLAUDIO amplifier

technology, which reduces the weight and size of the unit

considerably and ensures extremely high output power.

Further advantages are the integrated Voice Canceller that

removes vocal passages from playbacks, the FBQ function,

which detects feedback frequencies, and the Speaker

Processing function for loudspeaker alignmentall with a

resolution of 24 bits and 46 kHz. Plus, our tried and tested

Invisible Mic Preamps give you crystal-clear audio free of noise

and distortion when using microphones.

The mixing consoles of the PMX series feature a state of the

art, integrated switch-mode power supply (SMPS). One of the

great advantages is that (compared to conventional circuits) a

switch-mode power supply adapts to mains voltages between

100 and 240 volts automatically. Furthermore, due to its much

greater efficiency, it consumes much less energy than a

conventional power supply unit.

BEHRINGER is a company with its roots in professional

recording studio technology. For many years we have been

successful in developing products for studio and live use. These

include microphones and 19" units of all types (compressors,

enhancers, noise gates, tube processors, headphone amplifiers,

digital effects, DI boxes, etc.), monitor and P.A. speakers and

professional live and recording mixers. Our entire technical know-

how has gone into your PMX power mixer.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your PMX 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.

We recommend that you use a flight case, so as to give

your power mixer optimum protection during use or

transport.

Always use the original packing carton to prevent

damage during storage or transport.

Make sure that children cannot play unsupervised with

the device or its packaging.

Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling

and, to avoid overheating, please do not place the EUROPOWER

near radiators, etc.

Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type

and rating! Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS for

details.

The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord

and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international

safety certification requirements.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

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 on the AC power cord.

1.1.3 Warranty

The EUROPOWERs serial number is located on the rear of the

unit. Please take the time to fill in and return the warranty card

within 14 days after the date of purchase, so as to benefit from

our extended warranty. Or register online at

www.behringer.com.

1.2 The manual

This manual is designed to give you both an overview of all

control elements and to provide details about how to use them.

To provide you with a clear structure, we have grouped the control

elements according to their function. They can easily be found on

the enclosed numbered illustrations. If you need more detailed

information on specific topics, please visit our web site at

www.behringer.com.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

A detailed description of all functions of your power mixer can

be found in the following chapters. Please also refer to the

enclosed sheet with the numbered illustrations to get a good

overview of the control layout.

2.1 Mono and stereo channels

Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. Be sure to set

this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or

disconnect a signal source to an input. TRIM controls both

the microphone and the LINE input. The black scale shows

the microphone gain (+10 to +60 dB on channels with

INVISIBLE MIC PREAMPS and 0 to +40 dB on conventional

microphone inputs; PMX1000 only, channels 5/6 and 7/8).

The LINE scale indicates the sensitivity of the LINE input,

ranging from +10 to -40 dBu.
PMX1000: The mono/stereo combination channels 5/6 and

7/8 have a sensitivity of +20 to -20 dBu.
The LEVEL SET LED illuminates when an optimum operating

level has been adjusted.

The mono channels are equipped with a high-slope LOW

CUT filter eliminating unwanted low-frequency signals like

rumble noise.
PMX3000/PMX5000 (stereo channels): Press the A/B button

to switch from 1/4" jacks to RCA connectors, and vice

versa. Position A = 1/4" jacks; position B = RCA

connectors.
The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high

frequency range of the respective channel.
Use the MID control to boost or cut the midrange

frequencies.
PMX5000: The PMX5000 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 FREQ control.
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 400 Hz

respectively.
The LOW control allows you to boost/cut the low frequency

range.
With the MON(ITOR) control you can adjust the volume of

each channel in the monitor mix.
The PMX3000 and PMX5000 feature a second MON control

(MON 2) for the volume of the second monitor bus.
