EUROPOWER PMH2000
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
s The stereo equalizer is effective on the main mix when
both units have been activated with the EQ IN buttons
and the MODE switch is set to its upper position
(“LEFT/RIGHT”).
s The stereo equalizer uses one unit each to process the
main and monitor mix signals, if both units are on and the
MODE switch is set to its lower position (“MON/MAIN”).
Use the EQ IN buttons to switch the two equalizer units on
or off.
Press the RUMBLE FILTER button to activate the low-cut
filter of channels 1 - 6. This filter eliminates unpleasant
bass frequencies (e.g. microphone pop noise).
The FX TO MON control determines the effects intensity
of the multi-effects processor as part of the monitor mix.
Turn the control fully counter-clockwise to add no effect to
the monitor mix.
The MONITOR LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the
monitor mix.
Use the MONITOR LEVEL display to control the monitor
signal level. The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in
limiter is activated, thus protecting against overload.
With this MODE switch you can determine whether the
PMH2000 works as a stereo amplifier (“LEFT/RIGHT”) or
as a dual mono amplifier (“MON/MAIN”). Please note that
the equalizer function also depends on this switch setting
(see ).
The FX TO MAIN control functions as FX return for the
built-in effects processor. Use this control to add the
desired effect signal to the main mix. No effect signal is
added when the FX TO MAIN is set fully counter-clockwise.
The MAIN LEVEL control governs the overall volume of the
PMH2000.
The MAIN LEVEL display reads the output level of the
PMH2000. The upper LED (LIM) lights up when the built-in
limiter is activated, thus protecting against signal peaks.
Use the FX FOOTSWITCH jack to connect any commercially
available foot controller. It allows you to bypass the effects
unit.
This is the balanced MONITOR output of your PMH2000.
Use it to feed an external monitor amp or active wedge.
These two 1/4" TS jacks allow you to route the output
signal to an external amplifier. This allows you to, say, use
only the mixing and effect section of the PMH2000. The
signal is taken pre-power amp. Of course, you can also
use only the left jack as a mono output.
These two 1/4" TS jacks can be used to connect external
signals, such as the main mix signal from an additional
mixing console (pre-power amp).
Here, you will find a list of all multi-effect presets available.
This is the LED level meter of the effects processor. Please
make sure that the clip LED lights up with signal peaks only.
If it is lit constantly, this indicates that the effects processor
is overdriven, which can lead to unpleasant distortion.
The EFFECT display reads the currently selected preset.
Turn the PROGRAM control to select the effect presets.
Press the control briefly to confirm your selection.
2.2 Rear panel
The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An
appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains,
ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage.
Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating.
Use the POWER switch to put your PMH2000 into operation.
The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position
when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
+
Attention: 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.
This is the RIGHT/MONO MAIN Speakon
® loudspeaker
output of your PMH2000, where you can connect the right
loudspeaker of a stereo system. For this purpose, switch
must be set to its upper position. If, however, you run
a mono main mix (switch set to its lower position), this
loudspeaker output provides the main mix signal in mono.
+
The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here
must not fall below 4 W .
The BRIDGE loudspeaker output allows you to combine
the left and right stereo channel in one mono output, which
is useful for applications that require the use of one
loudspeaker only. To use the BRIDGE output, switch
must be set to “LEFT/RIGHT”.
+
Always connect the BRIDGE jack to a loudspeaker
with a minimum impedance of 8 W !
+
Please note that the power delivered to the speaker
connected to the BRIDGE output is considerably
higher than the power provided to the speakers
wired to the parallel speaker outputs. Please read
the information given on the rear panel of your
PMH2000.
+
When using the BRIDGE loudspeaker output, NEVER
use any of the other two connectors (RIGHT/MONO
MAIN and LEFT/MONITOR) at the same time!
This is the LEFT/MONITOR Speakon
® loudspeaker output
of your PMH2000, to which you can connect the left
loudspeaker of a stereo system (switch set to its
upper position). If you do a main mix in mono (switch
set to its lower position), this loudspeaker output provides
the monitor signal in mono.
+
The impedance of the loudspeaker connected here
must not fall below 4 W .
+
Information on how to properly connect your
speaker with regard to polarity can be found on the
rear of the unit (PIN assignment).

3. EFFECTS PROCESSOR
A special feature of your PMH2000 is its built-in multi-effects
processor that features the same audio quality as our re-
nowned 19" effects device VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. The
processor comes with 99 different standard effects such as
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, vocal distortion as well as various
effects combinations.
