Mackie PPM1012 User Manual

PPM1012

Featuring 800W + 800W peak Class-D, Fast Recovery™ power
amplifiers, a full eight mono mic/line channels each with
3-band Perkins EQ and sweepable mid and two stereo
channels each with 4-band Perkins EQ, the PPM1012 is the
flagship mixer of the Mackie PPM series.

The PPM1012 is equipped with two 32-bit RMFX+™
processors, each featuring 24 effects with tap delay, dual
9-band graphic EQ (one for mains, one for monitors) and
dedicated in-line compressors on the first six channels.

Each mono channel has a premium Mackie mic preamp,
an input Gain control with 50 dB of gain, a 100 Hz Low Cut
filter, two Aux/Mon sends and two Aux/FX sends, Pan, Mute,
Solo, a 60mm fader and a Channel Insert jack for connecting
an external processor.

There are built-in DIs on channels seven and eight for direct
connection of guitars or bass, a 1/4-inch stereo footswitch
jack for muting effects and a switchable subwoofer output
with variable low-pass frequency.

Other features include +48V phantom power, a stereo tape
input and output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo
12-segment LED meters, BNC lamp socket and XLR and TRS
stereo (and mono) output jacks.

Despite its large channel count, the PPM1012 is ultra-light
and rack-mountable. Plus, it’s a Mackie which means it is
“Built-Like-A-Tank” and will survive years of abuse.
