3. Орнотуу колдонмосу
Follow these steps to properly set up your Behringer Europower PMP1680S powered mixer:
- Пакеттен чыгаруу: Carefully unpack the PMP1680S mixer and ensure all components are present, including the rack mount brackets if desired.
- Жайгашкан жери: Place the mixer on a stable, flat surface or install it into a standard equipment rack using the provided brackets. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Динамик байланыштары: Connect your passive speakers to the POWER AMP outputs using Speakon-compatible cables. Ensure correct impedance matching (e.g., 4 ohms for 1600W bridged mode). Refer to your speaker's specifications for optimal connection.
- Киргизүү байланыштары: Connect microphones to the XLR inputs (channels 1-8) and instruments or line-level devices to the 1/4" inputs. Activate +48V phantom power for condenser microphones as needed using the dedicated switch.
- Көмөкчү киргизүү: Connect external audio sources such as CD players, MP3 players, or tape decks to the CD/TAPE IN RCA inputs.

4. Иштөө нускамалары
Familiarize yourself with the operational aspects of your PMP1680S mixer:
- Күйгүзүү/өчүрүү: Locate the POWER switch on the front panel and turn it ON. The unit will initialize. Always turn on the mixer after connecting all inputs and outputs, and turn it off before disconnecting.
- Киргизүү деңгээлин жөндөө: For each channel, adjust the GAIN knob to achieve an optimal input level. The CLIP LED should only flash occasionally during the loudest peaks. If the signal is too hot, engage the PAD switch to attenuate the input.
- Теңдөө: Use the 3-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) on each mono channel to shape the tone of individual inputs. The stereo 7-band graphic EQ on the main output allows for overall frequency correction of the mixed signal.
- Effects Processors: The PMP1680S features two independent 24-bit FX processors. Select desired effects using the PROGRAM knob for FX 1 and FX 2. Adjust the FX LEVEL to control the overall effect send. Apply effects to individual channels using the FX SEND controls on each channel strip.
- FBQ Feedback Detection: Press the FBQ button to activate the feedback detection system. Red LEDs on the 7-band graphic EQ will illuminate, indicating frequencies causing feedback. Reduce these frequencies using the corresponding faders to eliminate feedback.
- Чыгуу режимдери: Select between STEREO (Main L/R), DOUBLE MONO (Main/Monitor), or BRIDGED MONO operation using the AMP MODE switch based on your speaker configuration and application needs.
- Үн өчүргүч: Activate the VOICE CANCELLER function for karaoke applications to reduce or remove vocals from stereo recordings played through the CD/TAPE input.
- Күтүү функциясы: Use the STANDBY switch to mute all microphone channels during breaks, allowing background music to play uninterrupted through the CD/Tape input without picking up stage ызы-чуу.
5. Техникалык тейлөө
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PMP1680S mixer:
- Тазалоо: Regularly clean the mixer's exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
