Behringer EUROPOWER PMP2000 800 Watt 14 Channel Powered Mixer with Multi-FX Processor

I have owned quite a few Behringer products now, and I have found, without exception, the price/quality to be exceptional. I had a previous version of this (pmx2000) for over 10 years, and it finally gave up the ghost after years of flawless service. I wanted to take this as an opportunity to upgrade, but after checking everything I could find available, there is NOTHING that comes close to this PA head at or near its price point, I'd have to spend several hundred dollars more, or go with a non powered mixed with a separate amp, which is inconvenient and more expensive. This unit has been virtually unchanged since at least 2002 , just a little more power than before, which shows a well designed product doesn't have to have bells and whistles added every year just to make it "new". Using good speakers, the power should be more than adequate for small to medium sized rooms. The preamps sound good and there is little idling noise. Read the specs or download the manual for a complete list of features. For a stand alone PA amp what it does have is all useful and solid, I've used every feature on it at some time another. With all that said there are some features it does NOT have I wouldn't mind it having, such as: -channel and overall mute, though the 25db pad on channels 1-6 can act as partial mutes, -separate effect choices and/or effects combinations for the channels. Although there's dozens of good effects on this, only one can be chosen at a time, and it's global, you can't, say, have reverb on the mics and chorous on guitars, or combine reverb and chorous, - XLR outputs for powered speakers / monitors -compression -It does have stereo capability on ch. 7-10, but no pan controls - It also uses Speakon connectors- not a big deal, you can buy adaptors cheaply, but I prefer regular old 1/4" plugs, out in the field you are SOL if you don't have the right connectors with you. Seems easy enough to add Speakon / 1/4" combos which I've seen on other amps. But this is minor stuff. If you really need any of the above just spend well over $500, but for $350 this is a STEAL!

My 12 year old Yamaha powered amp (EMX 660) and mixer has been serving me well for 12 years, though in limited usage (I am a DJ and sound guy for a professional theater group that does 2 - 10 gigs a year). The problem has been that I use an increasing number of microphones and other wireless devices (body packs) for driving remote speakers. I was looking at a high quality mixer with 8 microphone inputs, but it was nearly $300. Since I am still using CD players and I stack them on top of the amp, a mixer was not going to fit the limited space we often work in. Bottom line is I now have a new amp and mixer with almost the exact same case dimensions as my Yahmaha (very solid) 4 more inputs and a powerful amp just in case my powered speakers ever die. I tested it with all inputs in use at the same time for about 8 hours and though I will update this review if the thing dies on me, it seems quite solid and a perfect front line mixer (my still working Yamaha moves to a back up role). Now if I could only just turn the power amp off.... Updated review. Finally did a heavy duty live application, a 4 hour rehearsal with 4 wireless mikes, one wired mike and two sound sources. I was also driving a remote wireless speaker through the monitor channel. Channel 7/8 acted up on me and is now marked as unreliable. Channels 8/9 and 9/10 seem to produce different levels of sound with the exact same settings. The amp seems to work well otherwise, so far. But I am downgrading my review 2 stars. Total hours of service so far, less than 20. I have a 10 hour gig on Saturday, so I will update IF something else goes wrong. Bottom line. This ain't no Yamaha. Updates review. Live test, an 8 hour rehearsal and live show with 5 mikes and 15 performers on two decks of a cruise ship. No problems. Especially useful are the tiny signal lights that blink when a mike is being used. This allows you to adjust gain on the mike being used remotely without having to guess. Upgrading review 1 star.

I thought it was great till one of the channels went out, don't know how to fix it either, I'll have to tear it apart and see what lies inside. Apart from the one channel going out-the screws come out too easily on it and I'm constantly having to tighten them down, and I hardly use the dang thing! Behringer is definitely sub-par as far as quality goes...

The perfect PA amp for my small band. We don't get terribly loud, and don't run any instruments through the PA. It's only used for mikes, but its sound is fantastic, the adjustable effects work great, and it has a separate channel so you can adjust the on stage monitors as well. A complete unit, solid, reliable and not too heavy. Sounds great, works great. As nearly perfect as I can imagine. It does take a little time to get the hang of adjusting the effects, as they have numbers. Just takes some experimenting and then remembering the setting. I use number 33 for practices, a blend of echo and reverb. For playing out, it depends on the place.

Cannot praise this enough. We bought it for a charity folk festival we organised in the UK. Now we use it for running "karaoke Komedy", for musician's and for our comedy/music act Flotsam & Jetsam here in Malta. Handles whatever you put through it. Very easy to use, great sound effects and great power output. We twinned it with 2 EV speakers which handle around 250watts each and it sounds AMAZING. HiGHLY RECOMMENDED for bands, performers and anyone not wanting a full mixing desk set up and no need for a sound engineer.

Habe mir den Powermixer bestellt, weil ich ein Reservegerät für die Bühne benötige. Trete als Alleinunterhalter und auch mit Duobesetzung auf. Muß sagen - funktioniert tadellos und ist vom Preis her betrachtet ein Geschenk. Werde das Gerät jedenfalls nicht nur als Reserve benützen. Der Lüfter ist vielleicht ein bisschen laut - stört mich aber nicht im Geringsten, da man es von der Bühne runter kaum hört. Rauschen über die Lautsprecher gibt es nicht. Im beigelegten Behringer Prospekt ist auf der ersten Seite folgender Satz zu finden: BEHRINGER PRODUCTS ARE MADE FOR PEOPLE NOT FOR MILLIONAIRES. Kann nur sagen: DANKE !!!!

本製品を購入以前にＹＡＭAHAのパワードミキサーを購入済みだったのですが、値段的にも、性能的にも満足でした。 ＥＱやＥＣＨＯ機能も付いており、パワーも十分です。私はサブウーファーを低音部に増強して聞いていると迫力ある音質と音量で十分満足しています。唯一各入力端子で左右に音を振り分けられなくバランス調整が出来ないのが一寸残念でした。 併し1万～2万程度の音を聞くだけの性能しか持たない製品からすると、本当にこの値段でいいの？と言わせる製品だと思います。

Pour brancher mes 2 enceintes ça donne un bon son

This is a great product for an excellent price. The stunning clarity and sheer volume of this mixer makes it a joy to use live. I bought this to replace a similar $900 Yorkville product, and I have to say that for half the price this is the superior product. An abundance of channels, a cornucopia of built in digital effects, and a great sounding live show is what you will receive upon purchasing this product. I ordered out of distress and desire to replace my broken Yorkville, and this thing showed up on my doorstep the following morning ready to improve my bands sound.
