[12] Each channel has a balanced LOW-Z microphone input  
2. Control Elements  
with XLR connectors, which also supply the +48 V phantom  
power for condenser microphones (see (27)).  
[13] Unbalanced stereo line inputs with ¼" connectors for stereo  
channels 7 to 10 of the PMP980S/PMP1280S. They can be  
used for connecting keyboards with stereo outputs or stereo  
drum machines.  
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 an overview of the  
control layout.  
2.1 Mono and stereo channels  
[1] The HIGH control in the EQ section governs the high-  
frequency range of the respective channel.  
Please remember to use either the microphone or the line  
input of a channel at a time, but never both at the same  
time!  
[2] Use the MID control to boost or cut the mid-range frequen-  
cies.  
[3] The LOW control allows you too boost/cut the low-frequency  
range.  
[4] With the MON control you can adjust the volume of each  
channel in the monitor mix.  
[5] 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 OUT jack (see (32)). The PMP980S/  
PMP1280S has two FX controls (FX 1 and FX 2), so that  
you can use two effects simulteneously. Accordingly, it also  
provides two effect Aux paths (see (32)).  
2.2 Effects section  
[14] List of all multi-effects presets.  
[15] LED level meter of the effects processor. Since the PMP980S/  
PMP1280S allows you to select two effects simultaneously, it  
also has two level meters (DUAL FX). Be sure that the clip  
LED illuminates for signal peaks only. If it is illuminated all  
the time, it is a sign that the effects processor is overloading  
and hence producing unpleasant distortion.  
[16] The Effect display (PMP980S/PMP1280S: two displays)  
shows the currently selected preset.  
[17] Turn the PROGRAM control (PMP980S/PMP1280S: one  
control each for FX 1 and FX 2) to select an effects preset  
(preset number starts flashing). Push the control briefly to  
confirm your selection.  
Please note that the effects processor signal will be  
inaudible when the FX RETURN control (21) is set fully  
counter-clockwise.  
[6] For the mono input channels, the PMP980S/PMP1280S has  
a PAN(ORAMA) control which determines the position of  
the channel signal in the stereo main mix. The PMP960M  
has no PAN on the input channels, because it is a dual-  
mono power mixer.  
[7] The BAL(ANCE) control for the stereo channels of the  
PMP980S/PMP1280S corresonds 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. The PMP960M has no stereo channels  
and hence no BAL control, because it is a dual-mono power  
mixer.  
[18] Press the FX IN button (PMP980S/PMP1280S: FX 1 IN and  
FX 2 IN) to activate the effects processor.  
2.3 Main and monitor section  
[19] Your power mixer is equipped with two graphic 7-band  
equalizers. The upper one processes the monitor signal, the  
lower one the main signal. Use the EQs to adjust the sound  
to the room acoustics.  
[20] Press the 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 disap-  
pears and the LED goes out. Your power mixer offers this  
function both for the main and the monitor mix.  
[21] Turn the FX RET control to add the effect signal to the  
main mix (lower) or monitor mix (upper). The PMP980S/  
PMP1280S allows you to use two effects at the same time,  
it also has two FX controls each for the main and monitor  
mixes: when the FX RET 1 and FX RET 2 controls are fully  
counterclockwise, no effect signal is added.  
[8] The LEVEL control adjusts the channel signal level in the  
main mix.  
2.1.1 Input section  
[9] The CLIP LED is very useful to control the input gain. It  
should never be constantly illuminated (only with signal  
peaks).  
[10] The PAD switch reduces the input sensitivity of the  
channel by approx. 30 dB, to connect for example line-level  
signals.  
[22] The CD/TAPE IN control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track  
In signal (see (35)).  
[11] The balanced HI-Z input (¼" TRS) can be used for line-level  
signal sources, e.g. keyboards, electric guitars and basses.  
[23] The MONITOR MASTER control adjusts the monitor  
output volume.

[24] Use this 5-digit LED meter to control the output level of the  
monitor signal. The upper LIM LED illuminates when the  
internal amp protection circuit responds to output levels  
that are too high.  
[25] The MAIN MASTER control is used to adjust the main  
output volume.  
[26] Use this 5-digit LED meter to control the output level of  
the main signal. The PMP980S/PMP1280S has two rows of  
LED meters (L/R), because the signal is stereo. The upper  
LIM LED illuminates when the internal amp protection  
circuit responds to output levels that are too high.  
[27] +48V phantom power is provided for condenser micro-  
phones. The phantom power supply is activated for all  
channels with the PHANTOM switch and the PHANTOM  
LED above the switch illuminates.  
[30] If STANDBY is pressed, all input channels are muted.  
During breaks you can thus prevent the microphones from  
picking up noise or interference, which would then be  
reproduced by the P.A. system. The advantage is that all  
faders can be left untouched while you play a CD via the  
CD/TAPE inputs (see (35)). There is also no need to move  
down the faders of muted channels and lose your mix.  
2.3.1 Connectors  
[31] The FOOTSWITCH connector is for a standard footswitch.  
You can activate an “effect bypass” that mutes the effects  
processor. Please use a dual footswitch for the PMP980S/  
PMP1280S, so that you can enable/disable FX1 and FX2  
independently of each other. In this case, the tip of the ¼"  
plug controls FX1, and the ring FX2.  
[28] Use the POWER AMP switch to determine the operating  
mode of your power mixer.  
[32] The FX OUT connector is used to route the FX SEND  
signal from the input channels, for example, to the input of  
an external effects processor. The PMP980S/PMP1280S has  
two FX controls per input signal (see {5}) and also two FX  
OUT connectors (FX OUT 1 and FX OUT 2).  
The PMP980S/PMP1280S has three different operating  
modes: In MAIN L/MAIN R mode it functions as a stereo  
amplifier, i.e. the left and right main stereo signals are sent  
to OUTPUT A (L) and OUTPUT B (R). In MON/MONO  
mode it functions as a dual mono amplifier, i. e. OUTPUT A  
sends the monitor signal, and OUTPUT B the main signal  
(mono). In BRIDGE AMP MODE the output power of  
outputs A and B are added and provided at OUTPUT B.  
The PMP960M also has three operating modes, since it can  
be operated in two modes with the switch in its upper position  
(MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode), depending on the pin connec-  
tions of the speaker cables. In MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode  
power of both outputs is added and provided at OUTPUT B  
(Locking cable, pins 1+/2+). With the normal pin connections  
(Locking cable, pins 1+/1-) a main signal is provided in this  
mode at OUTPUT A and B (not bridged). In MON/MAIN  
mode, the mixer can also be used as a dual mono amplifier,  
i.e. OUTPUT A provides the monitor signal, while the main  
signal is present at OUTPUT B.  
Please note: When you connect a mono plug to one of the  
FX OUT jacks, the signal path from the respective FX send  
to the built-in effects processor is interrupted. For each  
FX send you can either use the built-in effect or the cor-  
responding FX OUT jack (for an external effect), but never  
both at the same time. When you use a stereo plug (tip and  
ring interconnected) you can use the built-in effects proces-  
sor and the FX OUT jacks in parallel.  
[33] Use the AUX IN ¼" inputs to route an external stereo  
signal to the main mix. This can be the signal generated by  
an external effects processor. Use the left input for mono  
signals, which are then reproduced on both stereo sides.  
The PMP960M has only one mono AUX IN connector.  
[34] The AUX IN control adjusts the volume of the external  
signal in the main mix.  
[35] The CD/TAPE IN RCA input allows you to feed in external  
stereo signals, e.g. from a CD player, tape deck or other  
line-level source.  
Please refer to (44) and (45) as well as chapter 4.4 “Loud-  
speaker connectors”.  
In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one loudspeaker  
with an impedance of at least 8 Ω to OUTPUT B (pins  
1+/2+)! Please note that OUTPUT A must NEVER be used in  
BRIDGE mode (with pin connections 1+/2+)!  
[36] The VOICE CANCELLER filters vocal-specific frequencies  
from the CD/TAPE IN 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.  
[37] The REC OUT (RCA) provides line-level signals from  
the power mixer to a DAT recorder, for example. On the  
PMP980S/PMP1280S the REC OUT signal is stereo and on  
the PMP960M two identical mono signals are provided.  
In all other operating modes, the minimum impedance of  
the speaker connected must not fall below 4 Ω.  
[29] Use the SPEAKER PROCESSING switch to activate a  
filter that adapts the mixer to the specifications of your  
loudspeakers. If the speakers have a limited frequency  
response in the bass range, it allows you to adapt it  
optimally to the frequency response of the speakers.  
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, discon-

recording!  
OUTPUT B.  
PMP960M: Either the main or the bridged main mono  
signal is provided at OUTPUT B (see (28)). When you use  
a cable with the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-), it is  
possible in MAIN/MAIN (BRIDGE) mode to take the mono  
main signal from this output (not bridged). Please also refer  
to chapter 4.3 “Loudspeaker connection”.  
[38] The MAIN ¼" connectors allow you to send the main signal  
to an external amplifier, when you only wish to use the  
mixer and effects section. The signal is taken pre-power  
stage of the mixer. It is also possible to use only the left jack  
of the output. The PMP960M has only one mono output  
connector.  
[39] Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speak-  
ers to the mono MONITOR output to monitor the signal  
mix created with the MON controls or to route it to the  
musicians on stage.  
In BRIDGE mode, always connect only one loudspeaker  
with an impedance of at least 8 Ω to OUTPUT B (pins  
1+/2+)! Please note that OUTPUT A must NEVER be used in  
BRIDGE mode (with pin connections 1+/2+)!  
In all other operating modes, the minimum impedance of  
the speaker connected must not fall below 4 Ω.  
Information on how to properly connect your speaker with  
regard to polarity can be found on the rear of the mixer  
(PINOUTs).  
[40] Use the POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The  
POWER switch should always be in the “Off” 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.

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR  
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard  
effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combi-  
nation 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, com-  
pletely simplifying the handling.  
[43] Loudspeaker OUTPUT A.  
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If  
you move the FX RET control, you mix the channel signal (dry)  
and the effect signal.  
PMP980S/PMP1280S: Depending on the operating mode  
selected (see (28)) either the left main signal or the monitor  
signal is provided at OUTPUT A. Never use this output in  
bridged mono mode.  
Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose  
signals you don’t wish to process.  
PMP960M: In MON/MAIN mode, the monitor signal is  
provided at OUTPUT A (see (28)). Never use this output  
in bridged mono mode, except when you use a cable with  
the normal pin connections (pins 1+/1-). In this case you  
can take the mono main signal from this output in MAIN/  
MAIN (BRIDGE) mode (not bridged). Please also refer to  
chapter 4.3 “Loudspeaker connection”.  
4. Installation  
4.1 Mains connection  
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and  
rating.  
The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord  
and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international

4.3 Loudspeaker connection  
Your PMP mixer is equipped with high-quality twist-lock  
professional style loudspeaker connectors, which ensure safe  
and trouble-free operation. This connector was especially  
developed for high-power loudspeakers. Once it is plugged in, it  
safely locks into position and cannot be accidentally disengaged.  
It prevents the occurrence of electrical shock and ensures the  
correct polarity. Each of the connectors carries only the assigned  
single signal (see tab. 4.1/fig. 4.7 and the information on the rear  
panel of the power mixer).

Both the PMP980S/PMP1280S and the PMP960M can be set-up  
for dual mono operations. The POWER AMP switch (28) must be  
set to its lower (PMP960M) or center position (PMP980S/  
PMP1280S). The two loudspeaker outputs provide the main and  
monitor signals independently of each other and to two loud-  
speakers each, which are wired in parallel.  
5. Wiring Examples  
For stereo operation the POWER AMP switch (28) of the  
PMP980S/PMP1280S must be set to its upper position (MAIN L/  
MAIN R). Outputs A and B deliver the stereo main signal to the  
P.A. speakers. Two active speakers, wired in parallel, are  
connected to the preamp monitor output. They are used as  
on-stage monitor speakers. The effects processors can be  
switched on and off with a dual footswitch. This set-up is not  
possible with the PMP960M (no stereo operation possible).

This illustration shows just one example of how the channels of  
your power mixer can be used, including the connection of mono  
and stereo sources, and the tape ins and outs recording the mix  
signal or playing back external signals.  
One example of how to use your power mixer with a subwoofer  
in bridged mono mode. The illustration shows the PMP1280S  
with a subwoofer connected to OUTPUT B that will receive the  
full (bridged) output power. A separate stereo power amp  
(BEHRINGER EUROPOWER EP2000) for the stereo main P.A.  
signal is connected to the Pre Amp Main outputs. The Pre Amp  
monitor output is wired to active speakers on the stage. This  
application can also be realized with the PMP960M, except for  
the main P.A. signal, which would be mono.
