Mackie PPM1012 12-Channel, 1600-Watt Powered Desktop Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a musician playing in clubs and all types of other venues since the sixties. Some of the bands I've been part of used massive PA systems to get a quality sound. I'm talking racks of power amps, EQ's, Effects , etc. etc..
That was then, this is now. This Mackie board does it all and does it all extremely well !! You'll have plenty of headroom. There is more than ample power when you need it, just waiting to kick in and support your vocals and anything else you run through this board. The effects are superb with two high quality effects processors that you can tweek out and blend the effects to your liking. The clarity of this board is so good that all I have to run is a slight curve on my equalizers to get a nice clean and clear sound. Match this unit up with a high quality pair of speakers and a couple of good powered subs, and you're sound is Happening !!
Sizing down and maintaining good sound at my age is important to me. Other powered consoles I used and thought were OK just don't compare to this. Having a well-polished act, I need the best sounding equipment with the smallest footprint. Although a tad bit heavy, this mixer takes the place of hundreds of pounds worth of PA.
Now, I can't wait to get to the gig and hear my new Mackie. I couldn't be more pleased !!

Behringer PMP980S 900-Watt 10-Channel Powered Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You guys are my heros. Right out of the box the Mixer showed its real colors. Set everything the way it should be and it worked like a champ in the studio. I can't wait to try it on a gig we have in a large building with about 800 people.
When this happens I will rewrite this and let you know.
Thanks for all you do.
Regards,
Jerry
I had a very good response out of this unit. My School reunion,very large room,seating 600+ so you know I had to be good in front of all my schoolmates
I used 4 mains with 1 monitor,a laptop,1 Cordless Mike,1 Wired Mike,all speakon cables and a light setup.
There was no squeals or Hums.In one of the reviews i read where the unit would pop real loud when turning on the power. This was solved by hooking the 2 speakon speaker cables to the unit last after the power was switched on.
This unit was every thing you would need as a DJ.I was very please and got lot of positive comments from everyone.Lots of hand shakeing and hugs saying fantastic job.
Very powerful and easy yo set up.
By the way: I got rebooked for the next reunion.
Thanks Amazon for everything,
DJ&J Entertainment

Behringer PMP2000 800-Watt 10-Channel Powered Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since it's arrival, I'e used the sysems on two occasions. The first was an in-door party for about 120 folks. I ran four speakers (two 400 watt and two 600 watt) and a 600 watt subwoofer for 6 hours, pretty well maxed out. Worked flawlessly.
Second was an outside gig for 5 hours, pushing the same configuration. Worked flawlessly.
On both occasions I was complimented on the robustness and clarity of the music.
If Berhinger would just work on their owner's manual a little more. It's basically useless.

If you need superior stereo sound for small club gigs, churches or speeches, but have to keep the outboard gear to a minimum, the 10-channel PMP2000 can really deliver. This 800-Watt mixer has built-in mic preamps and an FX processor, as well as enough power to drive both mains and monitors, thanks to dual 350-Watt onboard power amps.


Massive Mono or Stunning Stereo The PMP2000 gives you the choice of 2 x 350-Watt stereo, 2 x 350-Watt dual mono or 800-Watt bridged mono output. Whether the center of attention happens to be a folk trio, a speech, or a synth-rock band with mind-boggling stereo patches, the PMP2000 can accommodate. This sonic versatility also makes it an excellent choice for churches, where vocals and stereo recordings often share face time.
Classic Control, State-of-the-Art Sound Leave the mic preamps at home, because the quality of sound that was once only available in the studio is ready to go wherever you do. Nine built-in, boutique-caliber mic preamps with switchable +48 V phantom power make it possible to use either dynamic or condenser mics with the PMP2000.
Built-in Digital Effects Processor It's also equipped with a 24-bit FX processor, giving you 100 mind-blowing digital effect presets such as delay, chorus and reverb. Apply them to any channel, as well as to the monitors and main output. In case you're pulling double duty as sound engineer and performer, the FX processor has a footswitch jack for remote on/off.
Changing the Channels The PMP2000 gives you loads of flexibility in accommodating whatever the center of attention happens to be. Channels 1-6 are for mics, bass guitars or other mono instruments. Stereo channels 7-12 are ideal for keyboards. Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in external stereo signals from CD players or tape decks.
The Ins and Outs REC OUT RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording device, so you can finally get to work on that triple-live album you've always dreamed of. The left and right Output 1/4-inch connectors are there just in case you need to connect more amps. Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MONITOR output.
