Behringer Europower PMP1680S Mixer with FX
1600W 10-Channel powered mixer with dual multi-FX processor and FBQ Feedback Detection System.
The Behringer EUROPOWER PMP1680S Powered Mixer (2
x 800W stereo, 1600W bridged mode) produces even more power than its
predecessors while maintaining famously low weight and high efficiency.
The EUROPOWER PMP1680S mixer employs Class-D technology including a
switch-mode power supply, significantly reducing weight and heat. The
10-Channel Behringer PMP1680S boasts 8 high-quality built-in mic
preamps, 24-bit FX processors, and FBQ Feedback Detection.
What is Class-D Technology?
Instead
of operating relatively continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D
amps switch on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power
only when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or
fully off, which significantly reduces power losses from the output
devices given off as heat. Less heat means the amps don't need massive
heat sinks, and that makes them lighter. This no-compromise design means
the EUROPOWER PMP1680S mixer will deliver full power with incredible
fidelity 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, Behringer's Class-D amplifiers
provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting
speaker systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set
up.
Massive Mono or Stunning Stereo
EUROPOWER
PMP1680S gives 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 all monitor send signals through
the second powered input) 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, the EUROPOWER PMP1680S mixers
can accommodate. This sonic versatility also makes it an excellent
choice for churches, where vocals and stereo recordings often share face
time.
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 EUROPOWER
PMP1680S. It gives you 8 mic inputs.
Built-in Digital Effects Processor
The
EUROPOWER PMP1680S comes equipped with a 24-bit FX processor, giving
you 100 mind-blowing digital effect 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 processor features a footswitch jack for remote
on/off. Of course, if you have treasured outboard gear you've grown
attached to, the EUROPOWER PMP1680S can integrate them into the mix
while leaving out the built-in FX processor.
Changing the Channels
The
EUROPOWER PMP1680S mixer has excellent flexibility to accommodate
whatever a performance requires. You get 8 channels for mics, guitars,
and other mono instruments. Stereo channels 7-10 are designed to work in
pairs as stereo channels, or independently for more mono instruments.
All mono channels have 3-band EQ, switchable Low cut filter for
eliminating infrasonics, and Clip LEDs to indicate when the input signal
is too hot.
A STANDBY switch 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.
The Ins and Outs
Use
the CD/TAPE IN RCA inputs to feed in external stereo signals from CD
players or tape decks. The VOICE CANCELLER switch eliminates the vocals
from pre-recorded music for instant karaoke applications.
CD/TAPE
OUT RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording
device. The left and right output 1/4" connectors can be used for a
variety of purposes, including connecting more power amps. Connect
monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MON SOUND output.
Powered outputs on this mixer are available in professional
Speakon-compatible format.
Small, Simple, Superb
Medium-sized
events call for a lightweight, easy-to-use powered mixer. The EUROPOWER
PMP1680S mixer is one of the most efficient, affordable mixers for the
job, and is even suitable for use as a pure analog mixer or as a pure
power amplifiers. 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.
