Behringer PMP 4000

This panel was the first one I bought in order to hook up multiple mics (and instruments) to be heard through a set of passive speakers i bought. I had very little experience with PA, but I figured out the basic features quite quickly. I feel like I have so many options with this panel, whether it is to sing and play on my own with a touch of reverb (which I LOVE in this panel), or even doing concerts elsewhere with multiple singers. I feel like for this budget you get a lot of quality options, it's quite easy to figure out, and can be used with very basic knowledge. After nearly 3 years, I never had an issue with it once. The only feature i miss, and I am quite sure it is because i haven't figured out how you can do this: but easy hookup to a laptop/iPad/phone. A simple USB or AUX connection isn't there. Other than that, this mixer did everything i wanted. I love the various options and quality of FX. Layout is clear and logical. It is easy to work with, and all of that for this price keeps impressing me!

I bought two if these for band rehearsal rooms and so far no bands have had any issues with them. There is plenty of power here for any band line up too, rock, metal, punk, anything. The channels eq's are quite nice too although maybe a little more control over the mids would be nice. The desk is quite intuitive too, any beginner could handle it. I matched this up with thomanns own 300 watt speakers (creative bundle) and the system as a whole is big enough to fill a small hall/venue/bar. Theres a nice little visual feedback control on the graphic eq too which ive never really had to use, but works quite well. All in all, a good desk at this price range.

The behringer mixer has served me well as a mixer in our practice room paired with some passive monitors. The fx work well to add something extra pretty easily, not the best quality but perfectly fine for the size of the mixer! More than enough inputs for my needs. The graphic eq is perfect for removing any chance of feedback as the lights on each band light up to tell you where feedback is coming from.

Power wise sometimes I do feel it's a little underpowered but then again I maybe just bought too low a wattage for my needs. Overall I've had this for a few years and it's never let me down so I recommend it!

Great sounding mixer/amp.

I have using this for over a year now with my band for pub/club gigs (3 or 4 times a month.) Usually just for vocals but also mic drums up for larger venues. Music type is rock and pop covers.

Very clear, clean sound sound even at high volume.
Plenty of reasonable vocal effects and reverbs that sound good in a live environment.

My only complaint would be that these behringer mixer/amps are a little quieter than other powered mixers that I have used in the past. I bought the 800W version first time round but then returned it because it wasn't loud enough to compete with a drummer.
This 1600W version is loud enough for pubs/social clubs and has some spare headroom. Don't be tempted to buy smaller!

Price point is excellent.
