Behringer PMP 6000

We - 5 people rock cover band - use this mixer to drive our PA in the rehearsal room and to power the stage monitors when gigging without a dedicated sound engineer. We are using all available mono channels and are very happy with the features - the power amp with Speakon outputs, two pre-fade monitor mixes, two FX engines (we use a fair sounding reverb for the four vocals and a bit of chorus for acoustic git), not-at-all noisy preamps, faders, and knobs, very low fan noise under load, fairly precise "meter bridge" (quite sufficient for live music).

In its Thon case, it does feel quite heavy, but can still be put on any cab or small table when on-stage.

After 2 years of use, we have one defective LED but it's pretty nearly perfect.

We have used its older sibling (PMP4000) for 8 years before it broke down. We didn't find anything better than the PMP6000 to meet our needs -
great price-performance ratio for live bands. We hope it lives 7 or more years, too!

My PMX5000 became just slightly too low output for what we needed so traded up. This mixer amp has not disappointed. This summer it served our live music sound stage for a weekend long village charity event (long duty cycles 6-8 hours, and out doors). We just played a 250 person village hall at high volume levels. Delighted with the sound quality. This mixer amp has enough of the more advanced features to make it really flexible and is intuitive enough for a novice to use after a YouTube tutorial (there are plenty). Ten out of ten Behringer!

Update after 2 years of use:
Wow!
What a workhorse. I used the PMP6000 and a pair of Behringer B215XL Eurolive speakers for open air gigs, church hall gigs (up to 150 people) and garden parties. Mine is still going strong. In retrospect features I'd like to have seen were:
a. An easier more controllable / configurable way to get to the sub bass out.
b. An easier way to add some DSP / digital feedback killer tech into the output stage.
c. More configurable EQ and Sound effects

But overall, it is more than worth the money, and is jam packed with features designed to be entry level and easy to be used by a novice.

We are a full time band we have had the PMP 1200w and had 6years great service out of
it.We decided we go for a bit more power without more bulk. Which is exactly what we have got. There is such a lot of nonsense spoke about Behringer. We have found it as good as any and yes we have used most of them over the years. It's not just the price it's the fact that if you ensure you get the product that meets your needs. e.g. if you are a heavy metal unit including keyboards and a twin bass drum kit stick to p.a.hire. However for the three/four piece bands performing to 250+ it's a great buy.
