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 digital effects with 16 presets, and two FR Series HighCurrent power amplifiers.
Like all Mackie mixers, the PPM Series mixers are designed for rugged, day-in and day-out road use. Their sturdy composite-molded case houses rugged, double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass circuit boards. Impact-resistant knobs are mounted so they “ride” just above the steel front panel.
The 808S has six mono mic/line input channels and two stereo mic/line input channels, 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, pan control, and input trim with individual level-set LEDs. A rotary volume control provides output gain for each channel.
The inputs include Mackie’s high-headroom, lownoise mic preamps. Trim controls provide 40 dB of microphone gain, 20 dB of line-level gain, and a full 20 dB of attenuation to “pad” hot signals. Each channel also includes a level-set LED for easy level setting.
Channel EQs are as follows: 12 kHz shelving high-fre- quency EQ (±15 dB), 2.5 kHz peaking mid-frequency EQ
(±12 dB), and 80 Hz shelving low-frequency EQ (±15 dB).
A global phantom power switch applies +15 Vdc to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR inputs, and a break switch mutes channels 1-6 while break music is playing. Left and right RCA tape inputs are provided with an adjacent input level control for connecting a tape deck or CD player.
