Behringer PMP6000, 1600W 20 Channel Power Mixer

Behringer PMP6000, 1600W 20 Channel Power Mixer

Key Features

• High Output Power: Features Class-D amplifier technology capable of operating at 2 x 800 Watts stereo (at 4 Ohms) or 1600 Watts in bridged mono mode. This allows for both powerful and efficient performance, generating less heat and being lightweight compared to traditional mixers.

• Number of Channels: Offers a wide range of connection options with 20 channels. 12 of these are mono channels with high-quality XENYX microphone preamps, and 4 are stereo channels.

• Built-in Effect Processors: Use 100 different studio-quality preset effects (reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, and various multi-effects) thanks to the dual 24-bit stereo effect processor. These effects add depth and brightness to your live sound. Additionally, it offers the ability to use a foot pedal (not included) to switch effects during performances.

• FBQ Feedback Detection System: Equipped with Behringer's proprietary FBQ Feedback Detection System and a 7-band stereo graphic EQ. This feature allows you to instantly detect and easily eliminate the frequencies causing feedback as the LED lights on the EQ sliders illuminate.

• Flexible Operating Modes: You can switch between standard stereo (main L/R), dual mono (main/monitor), or bridged mono amp operating modes. The dual mono mode, in particular, is quite handy for working with passive stage monitors.

• XENYX Microphone Preamps: 12 studio-quality XENYX microphone preamps offer ultra-low noise and high headroom. With +48V phantom power support, you can also use condenser microphones.

• EQ and Filters per Channel: Includes effective 3-band EQ, selectable low-cut filter, and Clip LEDs for all mono channels.

• Voice Canceller Feature: This feature provides an ideal use for karaoke applications by deactivating the vocals in music tracks.
