PMP6000, PMP1680S: Dual studio­grade 24-bit stereo FX processors
with 100 awesome presets including
reverb, chorus, anger, delay, pitch
shifter and various multi-eects

The new BEHRINGER PMP Powered
Mixers (2 x 800-Watt stereo, 1600-Watt
bridged mode) produce even more
power than their predecessors while
maintaining a famously low weight
and high eciency. These mixers
employ Class-D technology including
a new switch-mode power supply,
signicantly reducing weight and heat.
The 20-channel PMP6000 features 12
built-in XENYX preamps, the 16-channel
PMP4000 features 8 built-in XENYX mic
preamps, and the 10-Channel PMP1680S
features 8 high-quality built-in mic
preamps. All three models feature
24-bit FX processors, stereo 7-band
graphic EQ and our renowned
FBQ Feedback Detection System.

What is Class-D Technology?

Instead of operating relatively
continuously like Class AB circuits,
Class-D amps switch on and o
thousands of times per second,

delivering power only when needed.
In other words, the amplier is either
fully on or fully o, which signicantly
reduces power losses from the output
devices given o as heat. Less heat means
our amps don’t need massive heat sinks,
and that means we can make them lighter.
Our no-compromise design means the
new PMP mixers will deliver full power
with incredible delity all night long,
without the need for lengthy rest cycles.

When used in conjunction with
switching-mode power supplies,
which don’t require huge and heavy
transformers, our Class-D ampliers
provide tremendous dynamic punch and
superior delity. The resulting speaker
systems are much lighter, making them
easy to transport and set up.

once only available in the studio is ready to
go wherever you do. Built-in, boutique-caliber
mic preamps with switchable +48 V phantom
power make it possible to use either dynamic
or condenser mics with the PMP Series. The
PMP6000 gives you 12 mic inputs while the
PMP4000 and PMP1680S each give you 8 mic
inputs.

Built-in Digital Eects Processor

The new generation of PMP mixers come
equipped with 24-bit FX processors, giving you
100 mind-blowing digital eect 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
processors features a footswitch jack for remote
on/o. Of course, if you have treasured outboard
gear you’ve grown attached to, these mixers can
integrate them into the mix while leaving out
the built-in FX processor.

Changing the Channels

The PMP Series gives you excellent exibility
to accommodate whatever a performance
requires. You get 12 (PMP6000) or 8 (PMP4000
and PMP1680S) channels for mics, guitars
and other mono instruments. Stereo channels
13-20 (PMP6000), 9-16 (PMP4000) and
7-10 (PMP1680S) are designed to work in
pairs as stereo channels, or independently for
more mono instruments. All mono channels
have 3-band EQ, switchable Low cut lter for
eliminating infrasonics, and Clip LEDs to indicate
when the input signal is too hot.

A STANDBY switch (PMP6000 and PMP1680S)
mutes all mic channels during breaks, preventing
the microphones from picking up noise or
interference. You can leave all faders untouched
while you play a CD via the CD/TAPE inputs.

The FBQ Feedback Detection
system automatically shows you which
frequencies are causing feedback.
Just touch the FBQ button and watch
the red LEDs on the 7-band graphic EQ
pinpoint show you which frequencies
to adjust for optimized sound,
without the feedback.
