1.4 The manual
This manual is designed to give you both an overview of all control elements and to provide detail 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 behringer.com.
The product-related information pages and the Ultranet-based glossary explain the relevant audio engineering terminology in full detail.
Front Panel Rear Panel

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 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.

  2. Use the MID control to boost or cut the mid-range frequencies.

  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/PMP1680S 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) ).
    ◊ 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/PMP1680S 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/PMP1680S 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.

  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.

  11.  The balanced HI-Z input (¼” TRS) can be used for line-level signal sources, e.g. keyboards, electric guitars and basses.

  12. Each channel has a balanced LOW-Z microphone input 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/PMP1680S. They can be used for connecting keyboards with stereo outputs or stereo drum machines.
    ◊ Please remember to use either the microphone or the line input of a channel at a time, but never both at the same time!
    2.2 Effects section

  14. List of all multi-effects presets.

  15. LED level meter of the effects processor. Since the PMP980S/PMP1680S 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/PMP1680S: two displays) shows the currently selected preset.

  17. Turn the PROGRAM control (PMP980S/PMP1680S: 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.

  18. Press the FX IN button (PMP980S/PMP1680S: 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 disappears 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/PMP1680S 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.

  22. The CD/TAPE IN control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track In signal (see (35) ).

  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/PMP1680S 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. +48 V phantom power is provided for condenser microphones. The phantom power supply is activated for all channels with the PHANTOM switch and the PHANTOM LED above the switch illuminates.

  28. Use the POWER AMP switch to determine the operating mode of your power mixer.
    The PMP980S/PMP1680S 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 connections 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 refer to (44) and (45) as well as chapter 4.4 “Loudspeaker 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+)!
    ◊ 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.

  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/PMP1680S, so that you can enable/disable FX 1 and FX 2 independently of each other. In this case, the tip of the ¼” plug  controls FX 1, and the ring FX 2.

  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/PMP1680S has two FX controls per input signal (see (5) ) and also two FX OUT connectors (FX OUT 1 and FX OUT 2).
    ◊ 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 corresponding 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 processor 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.

  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/PMP1680S the REC OUT signal is stereo and on the PMP960M two identical mono signals are provided.
    ◊ 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!

  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 speakers to the mono MONITOR output to monitor the signal mix created with the MON controls or to route it to the musicians on stage.

  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.
    2.4 Rear panel

  41. The mains connection is on a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.

  42. 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. Please also read the information given in chapter 6 “Specifications”.

  43. Loudspeaker OUTPUT A.
    PMP980S/PMP1680S: 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.
    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”.
    ◊ The impedance of the loudspeaker connected must not fall below 4 Ω.
    ◊ Please note that the power delivered to the speaker in bridged mono mode is considerably higher than in other operating modes. Please read the information given on the rear panel of the power mixer.

  44. Loudspeaker OUTPUT B.
    PMP980S/PMP1680S: Depending on the operating mode selected (see (28) ) either the right main signal, the mono main signal or the bridged mono signal is provided at 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”.
    ◊ 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).

  45. SERIAL NUMBER.

Digital Effects Processor

24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination 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, completely simplifying the handling.
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.
◊ Turn down the FX controls in those channel strips whose signals you don’t wish to process.

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 safety certification requirements.
◊ 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 of the AC power cord.
4.2 Audio connections
The inputs and outputs of the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER are unbalanced ¼” TS connectors—except for the balanced mono line inputs. Of course, all inputs and outputs work with both balanced and unbalanced connectors. The Tape Ins and Outs are on stereo RCA connectors.
◊ Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the power mixer. During installation and operation, the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit. ◊ Please use a dual footswitch for the PMP980S/PMP1680S, so that you can enable/disable FX 1 and FX 2 independently of each other. In this case, the tip of the ¼” plug controls FX 1, and the ring FX 2. 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). Please be sure to only use professional locking-style speaker cables (type NL4FC).
Please check the pin connections of your loudspeakers and cables depending on the EUROPOWER speaker output you choose.

Wiring Examples

For stereo operation the POWER AMP switch (28) of the PMP980S/PMP1680S 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). Both the PMP980S/PMP1680S 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/PMP1680S). The two loudspeaker outputs provide the main and monitor signals independently of each other and to two loudspeakers each, which are wired in parallel. 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 PMP1680S 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.
