Control Elements and3.
Connections
The EPA900 mixer is equipped with 4 mono and 2 stereo inputs
and an additional AUX input. The input signals are internally
distributed to a stereo bus. It is also possible to use its channels
separately (mono), such as when used for FOH/PA and stage.
Depending on the requirements, one stereo or two independent
mono sounds can be run. An internal effect can be used as an
AUX effect from each channel. The 7-band graphic equalizer is
used to process the stereo bus or the two mono paths.
Mono Channels (1-4)3.1
Channels 1-4 are designed as mono channels and are used to
connect microphones or mono line-level sources. The connectors
are balanced to ensure high interference resistance. If possible,
you should use balanced cable connectors to prot from the
advantages of this type of connection.
Microphone/Line Inputs3.1.1
MIC
You can connect either dynamic
microphones or condenser
microphones to the MIC
connector using XLR plugs.
LINE IN
Via the LINE IN connector,
you can connect instruments
(e.g., keyboards, electric guitars)
or other line-level sources
(e.g., CD player, external
mixers, notebook sound card). The ¼" jack accepts both balanced
and unbalanced connectors.
PAD
With the PAD switch, you can weaken loud input signals by
20 dB. Use this function if the CLIP LED is lit up and the level
cannot be reduced any further using the LEVEL control.
PHANTOM
With the PHANTOM switch, you can activate the phantom
power supply for all microphone channels. Use the supply for
condenser microphones.
Stereo Channels (5/6-7/8)3.2
Channels 5/6-7/8 are designed as stereo channels and are used
to connect stereo line-level sources.
Line Inputs3.2.1
LEFT L / RIGHT R
Via these connectors, you can connect stereo
line-level sources (e.g., keyboard, CD player,
external mixers, notebook sound card). Either
the cinch jacks or the ¼" jacks can be used, but
not both at the same time.
VOICE CANCELLER CHANNEL 7/8
The VOICE CANCELLER function enables
voice to be ltered out of stereo signals. This
function is useful for karaoke applications with
a player (CD/MP3 player, etc.).
Channel Strips3.3
Each channel strip is equipped with an equalizer section, an
effects control, and one control each for signal routing and
volume control.
TREBLE/BASS
The equalizer section comprises these two
controls. With the TREBLE control, you can
modify the high frequencies, and with the
BASS control the low frequencies. Rotate the
control knob:
clockwise to boost the frequency range by•
max. 15 dB.
counterclockwise to cut the frequency range•
by max. 15 dB.
If you use the equalizer section to boost ◊
frequencies, the signal level of the channel
increases. If the CLIP LED lights up,
you need to reduce the level using the
corresponding LEVEL control.
EFFECTS
With the EFFECTS control, you can specify
the portion of the channel signal to be routed
to the effects unit. The further clockwise you
turn the control knob, the greater the effect
that is applied to the signal. Turning the knob
counterclockwise as far as possible results in a
signal with no effects.

BAL
Use the BAL control of the mono channels to adjust the position
of the signal within the stereo image (left/right) or for both mono
paths. Turn the control:
completely to the left to hear the signal only on the left side,•
that is the LEFT/MAIN path.
completely to the right to hear the signal only on the right•
side, that is the RIGHT/MAIN path.
Positions between these settings will result in a proportionate
signal allocation between LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MAIN.
The BAL control determines the levels of a stereo source’s
left and right input signals in relation to each other. Turn the
control:
completely to the left to hear only the left signal component of•
the stereo source on the LEFT/MAIN path.
completely to the right to hear only the right signal compo-•
nent of the stereo source on the RIGHT/MAIN path.
Positions between these settings will result in a proportionate
signal allocation of the left/right signal component between
LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MAIN.
CLIP
When lit up, the CLIP LED indicates that the corresponding
channel is being overdriven. If this LED lights up regularly,
you need to reduce the level of the respective channel using the
LEVEL control and/or the PAD switch.
LEVEL
The LEVEL control is used to set the volume of the channel
signal. If the CLIP LED is lit up, the level has to be reduced
using this control.
Additional Connections3.4
The EPA900 is equipped with additional inputs and outputs as
well as a footswitch connector.
STEREO AUX IN
The STEREO AUX IN sockets are designed as separate ¼" jacks
and as a stereo minijack. You can connect additional devices
with adjustable line levels (e.g., other mixers, MD player) here.
The signal is sent directly to the output busses, with no further
adjustment possible. Use either the minijack or the two ¼" jacks,
not both types at the same time. For mono sources, use the
LEFT connector.
EFFECTS FOOTSW
The EFFECTS FOOTSW socket is used to connect a footswitch.
You can switch the effect on and off with the foot switch.
SUB OUT
You can connect an active subwoofer to the SUB OUT socket.
TAPE OUT
You can connect a 2-track recorder (DAT, MD, etc.) to the TAPE
OUT sockets. The two TAPE OUTs carry the output bus signals.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The SPEAKER OUTPUTS connectors on the back of the unit
are used to connect the supplied loudspeakers.

Fig. 3.5: Powered connectors for passive loudspeakers

ENGLISH
EUROPORT EPA900 User Manual 7
Caution
!
The outputs are powered outputs, which put out a strong,
amplified signal (not a low-level LINE signal!). For this reason,
only PASSIVE loudspeaker systems can be connected. Other
devices could get damaged.
If loudspeakers with an impedance of 4 Ω are used, the two •
outputs have a maximum power of 900 W.
If loudspeakers with an impedance of 8 Ω are used, the two •
outputs have a maximum power of 800 W.
Graphic Equalizer3.5
The EPA900 is equipped with a 7-band graphic equalizer, which
enables you to adapt the sound to the room conditions and your
own ideas for the sound. The equalizer always processes the
LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MAIN bus equally.
EQ ON
You can activate the equalizer using the EQ ON switch.
FBQ ON
Using the FBQ ON switch, you can activate the feedback
detection circuit. This function only has an effect if the equal-
izer is active. For every frequency that causes feedback, the
corresponding LED on a slide control lights up. Lowering the
displayed frequency minimizes feedback.
Effects Unit3.6
The EPA900 is equipped with an internal stereo effects proces-
sor, which offers 100 different standard effects, including reverb,
chorus, anger, and echo, as well as various multieffects. It is
permanently integrated into the mixer as a Send/Return effect;
i.e., an adjustable signal portion can be routed to the effects unit
from every input channel. The selected effect is applied to the
signal portions of the channels, and the signals are then mixed
with the direct signals via the stereo bus.
CLIP/SIG
The CLIP and SIG LEDs provide information on the signal level
on the effects unit.
When continuously lit up, the CLIP LED indicates a signal•
overdrive. In this case, the effects unit input level should
be reduced through lowering of the Send level using the
EFFECTS controls for the input channels.
The SIG LED signalizes that the effects processor is receiv-•
ing a signal and is working. If the LED is not lit up, the input
signal is too weak.
PROGRAM PUSH
You can turn the PROGRAM control knob to select an effects
preset. Then press the knob to activate the selected effect.
EFFECTS LEVEL
The EFFECTS (LEVEL) control is used to adjust the effects
signal volume.

Main Power Section3.7
The operating volume of the sound system is set via the main
power section (MAIN LEVEL CONTROL).
LEFT/MAIN AND RIGHT/MAIN
The two controls are used to adjust the volume of the corre-
sponding loudspeaker outputs.
MODE
With the MODE switch, the power amplier section can be
switched to stereo or mono mode. Depending on the setting,
the limiter, which provides overdrive protection for the system,
works in coupled stereo or independent mono mode.
Always remember to set the switch according to the given ◊
application to avoid incorrect limiter behavior!
Power Supply and Serial Number3.8
FUSE HOLDER/IEC SOCKET
Connection to an AC power supply is made via an IEC socket. It
complies with applicable safety regulations. A suitable AC power
cord is included. Replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type.
To avoid an electric shock, turn off and unplug the unit ◊
before replacing the fuse.
POWER SWITCH
Use the POWER switch to start up the unit. The POWER switch
should be in the “Off” position when you connect the unit to the
AC power supply.
To disconnect the unit from the power supply, pull out the power
plug. When starting up the unit, ensure that the power plug is
easily accessible.
Please note: Switching the POWER switch off does not com- ◊
pletely disconnect the unit from the power supply. For this
reason, you should unplug the power cord if the unit is not
going to be used for a long period of time.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch lets you set the correct
operating voltage.
Before connecting the unit to the mains, please check that ◊
it is set to the correct supply voltage.
You have to use another fuse if you set the unit to another ◊
supply voltage. The correct value is specied in Chapter
“TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS”.
