EUROPOWER PMH1000/PMH3000/PMH5000

4. INSTALLATION

CONCERT:  Select between a small theater and a large hall.

Although this program is similar to studio (see below) it features
more, presence which adds to its “lively” character.

STAGEIs well suited for dissipating the sound of a keyboard

or an acoustic guitar.

ROOMYou can clearly hear the walls of the room. A useful

program for reverb that isn’t directly noticable (rap, hip hop
vocals) or to make dry recordings of instruments sound natural
again.

STUDIO: This simulation of a middle to large-sized room is

also available in two variations. Both variations sound very natural
and can be used as all-purpose effects.

SMALL HALL:  Simulates a small, lively (strongly reflecting)

hall and is perfect for processing drums.

AMBIENCE: Reproduces a middle-sized room without late

reflections.

EARLY REFLECTIONS:  The initial reflections of this room

are clearly audible. This effect is a classic for dynamic signals
(drums, percussion, slap bass, etc.).

SPRING REVERBSimulates classic spring reverberation.
GATED REVERB:  This effect synthetically cuts off

reverberation after a period of time. It is famous in the song “In
the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. The variations differ in the reverb
length.

REVERSE REVERB: This is a reverberation in which the

envelope is reversed, i.e. it slowly gets louder.

CHORUS:  This effect slightly detunes the original signal. A

very pleasant detune effect is created in connection with the
pitch variation. The chorus effect is used often and quite
extensively for dispersing signals. The variations available here
range from slow to fast chorus effects.

SYMPHONICThis effect creates the sound of an eight-voice

(!) chorus.

FLANGER:  The word “flange” means “tape spool”, and this

explains the characteristics of the effect. Originally, the flanger
effect was generated with two tape recorders which ran
synchronously. The same audio signal was recorded on both
machines. If you put a finger on the left spool of one of the
machines, the spool and the playback speed are slowed down.
The generated delay results in phase shifting of the signals. Please
choose either “medium flanger” or one of the “bright flanger”
programs, which feature an increase in presence.

PHASERWith the phaser, a second, phase-shifted signal is

added to the original audio signal. The resulting sound is thicker
and above all livelier. This effect is often used for guitar sounds
and keyboards. In the 70s, it was also extensively used for other
instruments like electric pianos. The PMH offers you four different
phaser variations.

ROTARY SPEAKER: The simulation of a classic effect that is

normally generated with a very heavy enclosure comprising (slow
or fast) rotating speakers.

DELAY:  A delay of the input signal with various repetitions.

Different tempo settings (ten variations in total) allow interesting
delay effects.

ECHO:  Similar to the stereo delay, with the difference being

that the repetitions have less presence. This simulates the
character of the original tape echo that was used before the digital
era and can be thought of as a “Vintage Sound”.

MULTI TAP: A delay effect with changing stereo positioning

(left, center, right). Four variations are available.

CHORUS & REVERB:  This algorithm combines the popular

chorus with a reverb effect. Taking all variations into account, they
differ in the length of reverb time.

FLANGER & REVERBThe combination of flanger and reverb

effects.

PHASER & REVERB: The combination of a classic stereo

phaser and a reverb effect. Here, too, the phaser is combined
with different reverb types.

ROTARY SPEAKER & REVERB: The combination of a rotary

speaker effect and reverb program.

DELAY & REVERBDelay and reverb is the most common

combination for vocals, solo guitars, etc.

PITCH & REVERB: The pitch shifter slightly detunes the audio

signal, while the reverb adds ambience to the signal.

DELAY & CHORUS: Chorus contributes to a wideness of the

signal, and interesting repetition effects can be adjusted with
the delay. Vocals can be given a distinctive effect without making
the voice sounding blurred.

DELAY & FLANGER: This effect is just right for creating a

modern, slightly “spacy” vocal sound.

DELAY & PITCH: A repetition of the audio signal, with an

oscillatory effect added by the pitch shifter.

3-VOICE PITCH:  The pitch effect can be used to produce a

cartoon-character type voice effect.

LFO BANDPASS: Filters, in general, influence the frequency

response of a signal. A low-pass filter allows low frequencies
to pass and suppresses high frequencies, while a high pass
filter allows high frequencies to pass and suppresses low
frequencies. This LFO bandpass effect is complemented by
modulation from an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator).

VOCAL DISTORTION: This effect is very hip when used on

vocals and drum loops.

VINYLIZER: This effect adds clicks and noise to your audio

signal, simulating old vinyl records.

SPACE RADIO:  Here, the typical sound of scanning an FM

tuner is simulated. This can be a very interesting effect when
sound-tracking radio plays.

TEST TONE:  Use this 1 kHz test tone to facilitate P.A. level

setting.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 Mains connection

The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord

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

Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and

rating.

 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 your BEHRINGER EUROPOWER are

unbalanced 1/4" mono jacks—except for the mono channel line
inputs, which are balanced 1/4" stereo jacks. Of course, all
inputs and outputs work with both balanced and unbalanced
connectors. The tape in and outputs are on RCA connectors.

 Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and

operate the PMH. During installation and operation,
the user must have sufficient electrical contact to
earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the
operation of the unit.
