Big Power

Most powered mixers in this class
tease you with maybe 100 or 200-Watts
of peak output power. Not the PMP530M.
This bad boy comes armed to the teeth
with 300-Watts of the cleanest power
you’ll  nd anywhere. Class-D ampli er
and Switch Mode Power Supply
technology make it possible by reducing
the need for heavy transformers and
massive heat sinks. The PMP530M’s

state-of-the-art design architecture keeps
it cool as a cucumber for hours and hours
of continuous operation.

So Easy to Operate

One of the PMP530M’s most
impressive features is its ease of use.
Simply connect your passive loudspeakers
to the rear panel jacks, plug the power
cord into the wall and turn the unit on.
Oops, be sure the Main volume control
is set to zero  rst. Connect a microphone
to the channel 1 XLR socket and speak or
sing while adjusting the Channel 1 Level
control until the Clip LED barely  ickers.
If it stays lit for more than a quick  ash,
you’ll need to turn it down a little. Turn up
the Main volume control and you should
be able to hear yourself through the
speakers. Follow the same procedure for
the other channels and you are done.
See, we told you it was easy!

Sometimes you may need to
 ne-tune the sound of a microphone or
instrument. That’s where you’ll appreciate
PMP530M’s highly musical 2-band
channel EQ. The Low control adjusts the
amount of bass content in the signal
(±15 dB @ 80 Hz) and the High control
adjusts the amount of treble (±15 dB @
12 kHz). Simply dial in the sound you like
with these two controls. If the Clip LED
stays on too long, or if it doesn’t come on
at all, readjust the Level control. Done.

Nothing detracts from a perfect
performance more than feedback.
You know, those high-pitched squeals
that drive both human beings and dogs
over the edge. The PMP530M comes
loaded with BEHRINGER’s amazing
FBQ Feedback Detection System,
which automatically pinpoints trouble
frequencies so you can snu them out
before you—or your audience—go deaf.
Just touch the FBQ button and watch
as all feedback-related frequencies are
indicated by red LEDs on the 7-band
graphic EQ sliders. Pull the illuminated
sliders down until the LEDs go out, and
voilà—no more feedback!
