Eight Channel Monaural Powered Mixer
The PPM™ Series mixers are comprised of three
compact powered mixers, designed for portable live
sound applications. Each powered mixer in the PPM
Series has two graphic equalizers, built-in stereo

and two stereo mic/line input channels (summed to
the main bus), with XLR mic inputs and 1/4" TRS line
inputs. All mono channels have 1/4" TRS insert jacks
(tip = send, ring = return). Each channel strip has one
monitor and one internal/external effects send, plus
3-band EQ and input trim with individual level-set
LEDs. A rotary volume control provides output gain for
each channel.
