Behringer PMP 500

Got this for our pub band based on the online description and we were looking forward to having a small powered mixer with a stereo option.
But what is not made clear online is that, although there is a '7-band EQ for the monitor', there essentially is very little monitor facility at all.
You have 2 speaker outs....one for left one for right. You can use your 2 speakers with the stereo function....OR you can use the left output for a mono speaker and the right one to a passive monitor. That's it.
You cannot use both speakers in stereo and have any sort of monitor....and no way to use a powered monitor at all since there is no line out anywhere. Not even a headphone input. Very bad oversight.

People considering this item should be aware of this.
We're sending it back and getting something else.

For the PMP 500, I'm using in my band rehearsal studio(around 300 ft.) and using a pair of the speaker (by T.bone)

PMP 500 is a great option for the low budget or beginner band to setup their own place indeed. easy to use, clear user interface and all the I/O are quite easy to route or patch,

Pros
-LightWeight
-Reasonable price
-Easy to use
-build-in effects

Cons:
-fader and few knobs touching not very well.

All the function and patching are listing on the layout, no worries to miss or some mistake during your taking action form PMP500

This is a seriously powerful little mixer, and there is simply no match out there when considering the features for the price. It can handle a good mix of mic/line inputs, has a good effects processor, decent EQ control, and good sound quality, all in a clear and straightforward interface. Sure, I would have loved more mic inputs, mute buttons on each input channel, a headphone jack, and more output channels, but for the price, the compromises are acceptable. Just get the manual before you buy to make sure you can live with the limitations, and you're good to go! I am VERY satisfied with this purchase.
