Service er påkrævet, når apparatet er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde, såsom strømforsyningsledning eller stik er beskadiget, væske er blevet spildt, eller genstande er faldet ind i apparatet, apparatet har været udsat for regn eller fugt, ikke fungerer normalt , eller er blevet droppet.
3. Opsætning
3.1 Udpakning og inspektion
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 Placering
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 Strømtilslutning
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 Tilslutning af højttalere
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 Tilslutning af mikrofoner og instrumenter
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 Indledende opstart
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 Kanalkontrol
- GEVINST: Adjusts the input sensitivity for each channel. Set this to ensure a strong signal without clipping (indicated by the CLIP LED).
- EQ (HØJ, MELLEM, LAV): Three-band equalizer for shaping the tone of each input signal. Adjust to enhance or cut specific frequencies.
- FX: Styrer mængden af signal, der sendes fra kanalen til den interne effektprocessor.
- NIVEAU: Justerer den samlede lydstyrke for kanalen i hovedmixet.
4.2 Main Section Controls
- HOVEDNIVEAU: Controls the overall output volume of the main mix.
- MONITOR LEVEL: Justerer lydstyrken på skærmens output.
- FX TO MAIN/MON: Controls the amount of the effects signal sent to the main and monitor outputs.
- GRAFISK EQ: A 7-band stereo graphic equalizer allows for precise frequency shaping of the main and monitor outputs.
- PHANTOM POWER (+48V): Activates phantom power for condenser microphones connected to the XLR inputs.
4.3 Klark Teknik Multi-FX Processor
The integrated Klark Teknik FX processor offers 25 high-quality presets including various reverbs, choruses, flangers, delays, and multi-effects. Use the PROGRAM/PARAMETER knob to select an effect and adjust its specific parameters. The TAP button can be used to set delay times in real-time.
