Product Details
Overview
The Mackie PPM608 8-Channel Professional Powered Mixer features two built-in amplifiers that deliver a powerful 1000W (peak) to passive loud speakers. The mixer is a perfect match with Mackie passive loud speakers such as the C300 or S215 models.
A total of 8-channels are comprised of 4 mono line, 2 line / DI switchable, and 2 stereo channels. All 8 channels feature XLR microphone inputs with phantom power, and channels 5 and 6 feature DI instrument inputs for direct connection of guitars.
Built-in compression dials are featured on channels 1 through 4 for easy on-touch compression setting. The Running Man 32-bit effects processor delivers "gig ready" usable effects presets that include plate reverb, room reverb presets, chorus settings and delays.
A full 3-band EQ section with mid-range sweep is featured on all mono inputs and two 9-band graphic EQ sections provide additional frequency contouring on output. The PPM608 is designed for rigorous road use with built-in handles, rounded front chassis and ABS construction. The PPM608 offers the routing, features, sound quality, power and ruggedness expected for sound reinforcement on-the-go.
