Behringer Europower PMP6000 User manual

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. Continued on next page

Massive Mono or Stunning Stereo
Our latest PMP give you the choice
of 2 x 800-Watt stereo, 2 x 800-Watt dual
mono mode (giving you a mono version
of the main signal through one powered
output plus a mono version of monitor
send signals through the second powered
output) or 1,600-Watt bridged mono
sound. Whether the center of attention
happens to be a folk trio, a speech,
or a synth-rock band with mind-boggling
stereo patches, PMP mixers can
accommodate. This sonic versatility also
makes it an excellent choice for churches,
where vocals and stereo recordings often
share face time.

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.

Classic Control, State-of-the-Art Sound
Leave the mic preamps at home, because the
quality of sound that was 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

Small, Simple, Superb
Medium-sized events call for a
lightweight (PMP6000: 13.1 kg/28.9 lbs;
PMP4000: 0.4 kg/22.9 lbs; PMP1680S:
9.9 kg/28.8 lbs), easy-to-use powered
mixer. BEHRINGER powered mixers
are the most ecient, aordable mixers
for the job, and are even suitable for use
as pure analog mixers or as pure power
amplers. With new technological
advantages and incredible built-in
features, it’s easier than ever to lend
exceptional sound quality to all kinds of
public performances.
