- Sħana: Tinstallax ħdejn xi sorsi tas-sħana bħal radjaturi, reġistri tas-sħana, stufi, jew apparat ieħor (inkluż amplifiers) li jipproduċu sħana.
- L-ertjar: M'għandekx tegħleb l-iskop tas-sigurtà tal-plagg polarizzat jew tat-tip ta 'l-ert. Plagg polarizzat għandu żewġ xfafar b'wieħed usa 'mill-ieħor. Plagg tat-tip ta 'l-ert għandu żewġ xfafar u t-tielet prong ta' l-ert. Ix-xafra wiesgħa jew it-tielet prong huma pprovduti għas-sigurtà tiegħek. Jekk il-plagg ipprovdut ma jidħolx fl-iżbokk tiegħek, ikkonsulta elettriċista għas-sostituzzjoni tal-iżbokk skadut.
- Servizzi: Irreferi l-manutenzjoni kollha lil persunal tas-servizz kwalifikat. Is-servizz huwa meħtieġ meta l-apparat ikun ġie bil-ħsara b'xi mod, bħal korda tal-provvista tal-enerġija jew plagg ikun bil-ħsara, likwidu jkun inxtered jew oġġetti jkunu waqgħu fl-apparat, l-apparat ikun ġie espost għax-xita jew umdità, ma jaħdimx b'mod normali , jew twaqqgħet.
3. Setup
3.1 Spakkjar u Spezzjoni
Carefully unpack your PMP2000D and inspect it for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately. Retain the original packing materials for future shipping or storage.
3.2 Tqegħid
Place the mixer on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for proper ventilation to prevent overheating. Avoid placing it near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight. The unit is designed for indoor use.
3.3 Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the PMP2000D's power inlet and then to a suitable grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch on the mixer is in the OFF position before connecting to power.
3.4 Konnessjoni ta' Kelliema
The PMP2000D features two powerful amplifiers. Connect your passive loudspeakers to the speaker outputs on the rear panel. Ensure the impedance of your speakers matches the recommended impedance range of the mixer (typically 4-8 ohms per channel). Use high-quality speaker cables for optimal sound transmission.

3.5 Konnessjoni ta' Mikrofoni u Strumenti
Use XLR cables for microphones and 1/4-inch TS/TRS cables for line-level instruments or other audio sources. The PMP2000D offers 9 mono channels with XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, and additional stereo channels for various connections. For condenser microphones, activate the +48V phantom power switch located on the main section.

3.6 Qawwa Inizjali
After all connections are made, ensure all channel level controls and the main level control are set to minimum. Power on the PMP2000D. Gradually increase the main level and then individual channel levels to achieve the desired sound.
4. Operating the PMP2000D
4.1 Kontrolli tal-Kanal
- QLIGĦ: Adjusts the input sensitivity for each channel. Set this to ensure a strong signal without clipping (indicated by the CLIP LED).
- EQ (GĦOLJA, MIDJA, BASSA): Three-band equalizer for shaping the tone of each input signal. Adjust to enhance or cut specific frequencies.
- FX: Controls the amount of signal sent from the channel to the internal effects processor.
- LIVELL: Adjusts the overall volume of the channel in the main mix.
4.2 Kontrolli tat-Taqsima Prinċipali
- LIVELL EWLENIN: Jikkontrolla l-volum ġenerali tal-ħruġ tat-taħlita prinċipali.
- LIVELL TAL-MONITOR: Jaġġusta l-volum tal-output tal-monitor.
- FX TO MAIN/MON: Controls the amount of the effects signal sent to the main and monitor outputs.
- EQ GRAFIKA: A 7-band stereo graphic equalizer allows for precise frequency shaping of the main and monitor outputs.
