Behringer PMP3000 1,200-Watt 16-Channel Powered Mixer Review

Behringer PMP3000 1,200-Watt 16-Channel Powered Mixer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this powered mixer to replace a defective one at our church. Our sanctuary can seat 900 people and so it is a fairly large auditorium. The mixer has more power than the previous powered mixer and many more features. I especially like the individual channel mute buttons so we can kill a mic without having to move the gain adjustments. The only thing I did not like about this mixer is there was no block working diagram available. So we had to construct one for ourselves. To a trained eye, by using a block schematic diagram, it is easier to know how to set up the mixer for different applications and to troubleshoot a problem.
The actual steady state power output is more like 200 watts (each of the two stereo outputs)for our 8 ohm speaker system but still is greater that the old powered mixer. That is a total of 400 watts as compared to the (at first glance) advertised 1200 watts. We do not have to use the maximum gain on any channel so the output is fine for our use. There is also a headset output that follows the actual powered signal which can give you a better idea of mixed signal that is sent to the speakers and to our DVD and CD recorders.
The people at Behringer were able to answer all my questions without any problems so tech support was great. We did have a little difficulty in figuring out how to use the FX special effects (reverb, etc) generator but once we did figure it out, using it was just as advertised. You can probably guess that the instruction manual is not extensively done. But with a limited budget for an emergency purchase of a powered mixer, we are thoroughly satisfied with the quality and price.
The price is exceptional and caused a few doubting comments about how could we get what we needed for such a small price. We have been using the unit for two months now with absolutely no problems.
My suggestion is that before you purchase this unit, download the instruction manual from the Behringer site. You will see the output connection is not a 1/4 jack. If that is what you have, you will have to buy an adapter or convert the present cable connection to the new type. The adapters or connectors are not very expensive (Neutrik NA4LJX Speakon To 1/4" Mono Jack Adapter)and cost under $11 including shipping. You can optionally by the Speakon connectors and convert the speaker cable to the new connector type.

If you need superior stereo sound for small club gigs, churches or speeches, but have to keep the outboard gear to a minimum, the 16-channel PMP3000 can deliver. This 1,200- Watt mixer has built-in mic preamps and an FX processor, as well as enough power to drive mains and monitors, thanks to dual onboard 600-Watt power amps.

Massive Mono or Stunning Stereo The PMP3000 gives you the choice of 2 x 600-Watt stereo, 2 x 600-Watt dual mono or 1,200-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 PMP3000 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. Eight built-in, boutique-caliber mic preamps with switchable +48 V phantom power make it possible to use either dynamic or condenser mics with the PMP3000.
Built-in Digital Effects Processor The PMP3000 is also 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.
Changing the Channels The PMP3000 gives you excellent flexibility to accommodate whatever a performance requires. Channels 1-8 are for mics, guitars and other mono instruments. Stereo channels 9-16 are ideal for keyboards. 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.
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 karaoke applications.
CD/TAPE RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording device. Left and right output 1/4" connectors are there in case you need to connect more power amps. Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MON SEND output.
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 which frequencies to adjust for optimized sound, without the feedback.
Speaking of Optimized Output The PMP3000's POWER AMP switch toggles between three operating modes: MAIN, MON/MONO and BRIDGE (the power outputs of A and B on the back panel are added and provided at OUTPUT B). Dual mono mode allows you to use Output A for mono Mains and Output B for monitors. This clever functionality powers both your mains and monitors without the need for an additional power amp.

Yeah, I know, you get what you pay for.... I figured with electronics the way they are today, even a cheap unit would be pretty good, but I was disapointed. It is barely better then the cheap fuzz box I had 20 years ago. Additionally, the electronic switch is very touchy and keeps swapping in and out (the humidity in my house is a bit low this winter).
For 10 bucks more, the one my nephew bought has a much better sound and more change in sound as you play with the controls.

Nady Small Diaphram Condenser Microphone Review

Nady Small Diaphram Condenser Microphone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a drummer with a home studio. I was looking for a small condensor to place over my ride cymbal to gain a tad more control aside from the stereo over heads I am already using. This mic was my choice because of my past experience with Nady products and the price. It has a full clear sound with very high gain. What I actually ended up doing was using it as my Hi Hat mic and using the AKG i had over the ride with fantastic results. The only thing I can say is the mic does not have a low end roll off switch which would make it it top notch, but that was easy to remedy by just using a parametric EQ to gain the results I wanted. 2 thumbs up for the Nady condensor. Just the price alone makes it worth buying

Behringer UB502 Eurorack UB502 Mixer (5 Inputs) Review

Behringer UB502 Eurorack UB502 Mixer (5 Inputs)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've wanted a mixer for a long time now, and I finally got this one. At first I wanted the next biggest one, the UB802, I think. When I was thinking about when it when it would come. When it did, I was almost unsure what it was when I saw the box! It's so tiny- I thought it would be much bigger (Guess I didn't look very hard at the product description!)
It's amazing the sound you can get with this and even a cheap pair of speakers and a microphone (I use a Behringer mic, also. Ultravoice.)
I'm quite happy with this and if you're looking for a mixer on a budget, this one will be amazing for a small home studio. However, if you want to make something bigger, you'll want to get one of the bigger models in this series (Behringer UB).
I'm thrilled!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Behringer UB502 Eurorack UB502 Mixer (5 Inputs)

The Behringer UB502 may be small, but it features the same state-of-the-art Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP) and the same Ultra low-noise (ULN) design for highest possible headroom as its larger brethren. The UB502 has one mono channel plus 2 stereo channels with a 2-band EQ on the mono channel so it's ideal for use with fixed audio installations as well as keyboards, samplers and computer application. Hobby musicians and video makers will also find use for the ultra-compact Behringer UB502. The UB Stereo mixers are the Fab Four of Behringer compact mixers, featuring the same design, the same quality, and lots of the same features as their most expensive brothers & sisters. From the Invisible Mic Preamps to the carefully designed faders, knobs and even equalizers, these mixers provide the super clean, high headroom sound quality that you demand for pro live sound reinforcement jobs and even high-quality digital recording. All of these models feature at least one Aux send for effects. Other features include balanced 1/4" main outs, RCA tape in & out and Ctrl Room output.

Behringer DJX700 Professional 5-Channel DJ Mixer with Digital Effects and BPM Counter Review

this was my first mixer, in my DJ'ing Business. i use this thing ALL THE TIME! ive had it for over a year, and have nothing to complain about. great item! no problems!
so worth it!


Click Here to see more reviews about: Behringer DJX700 Professional 5-Channel DJ Mixer with Digital Effects and BPM Counter

The PRO MIXER DJX700 is a professional 5-channel DJ mixer with great features for club-worn veterans and starry-eyed newbies alike.

Five-Channel DJ Mixer The DJX700 features four dual input stereo channels, and 1 ULN microphone channel with "on air" switch. A dedicated effects loop is ideal for connection of external devices (sampler, reverb processor etc.), and the adjustable crossfader curve lets you adjust for all mixing styles.
Three-Band Kill EQ Dial it in with a three-band kill EQ (-32 dB) and precise level meters with peak hold function on each channel.
ULTRAGLIDE Faders The faders are the heart and soul of every mixer. With their 500,000 cycles life expectancy, Behringer's high-grade 45-mm ULTRAGLIDE faders outperform standard faders more than twenty-fold. VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) technology goes hand in hand with our faders--audio signal does not run directly through them; instead, the faders only provide a control voltage to the VCAs. The advantage: practically no audio noise caused by mechanical wear.
Built-In Digital Effects Your crowd will be astounded by the 47 breathtaking digital effect presets in 24-bit quality: delay, reverb, flanger, filter, panner, ultrabass, exciter, Vinylizer, voice changer and more. Your audience will be astounded, but they'll never have to know your secret.
Track-Matching Tools Matching tracks is an art in itself. It takes countless nights of practice before you can truly say you have it under your belt. With the intelligent BPM counter, Behringer take a lot of the guesswork out. Features like SYNC LOCK and BEAT ASSIST help you seamlessly align two tracks without having to rely solely on your ears.
Surround Function Behringer also gives you the awesome XPQ 3D surround function. It widens the stereo image and adds life and transparency to your sound--it's a great way to put a unique finishing touch to your sound and make it feel bigger and wider.
Low-Noise Preamps You work either with CDs or vinyl--sometimes both--and they all induce their own noise into the mix. The last thing you want is to pile even more mixer-originated noise on top of that. That's why all of Behringer's DJ mixers incorporate the improved ULN (Ultra Low-Noise) preamps: what comes in comes out, with nothing added. So you get maximum headroom, minimal noise and ultra-transparent sound.

Behringer Truth B1030a High-Resolution, Active 2-Way Reference Studio Monitor (Single Speaker) Review

Behringer Truth B1030a High-Resolution, Active 2-Way Reference Studio Monitor (Single Speaker)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The sound quality of this speaker is great. It has a very wide and consistent dispersion until it starts beaming at 8kHz. I didn't find this troublesome at all, in fact I rather enjoyed it. It's a detailed sound with a surprising amount of bass for being so small and the enclosure is shaped to minimize diffraction. Too bad it looks like they borrowed heavily from Mackie's cheaper line of monitors' enclosure. On the example I got to listen to and measure, I thought the tweeter amp has an intermittent distortion that was very frequent when the treble boost was engaged, but it turns out it is just really good at revealing the source content. That's exactly what a monitor should do. It truly sounds good and outstanding for this price. I haven't compared it to the Mackie it emulates, but I would definitely like to hear it prior to purchase. The vertical polar window is impressively broad as well. I can't see where you could go wrong with this monitor for the price.

When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it! Thats why we designed the new B1030A Reference Monitor to speak nothing but the TRUTH. Oh, it still sounds great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, but it was really built with the studio in mind &##151; where every note you play or sing is &##147;under the microscope.&##148;Ask any recording engineer and they will tell you that listening to a recording on just a single set of monitors doesnt always paint an accurate picture of the mix. Since people listen to music at home, in their cars, on MP3 players, etc., it is critical your final mix be heard on as many sizes and types of speakers as possible. Thats the reason we created these smaller B1030A monitors, plus they make ideal rear channel speakers for surround sound applications.For the past two years our Research and Development team has been on a mission to create the perfect studio monitor. Our acoustic engineers decided to start there and see just how far they could push the envelope. They tried a variety of transducers and enclosure designs, along with existing and emerging technologies. When all the dust settled, they chose to deploy an ultra-high resolution 1 dome tweeter and a long-throw 5.25 Kevlar-coned woofer in the B1030A.

This mixer is perfect and affordable. Flexible and feature rich for entry level or budget conscious groups; but make no mistake; this is a reliable piece of equipment and has plenty of inputs for your needs. the effects are fine, but we liked better the ability to fine tune frequencies.We upgraded to the PMP5000 from a good but tired smaller amp that provided many years of service. We have already used the 5000 on a couple of small concerts and it has more than complied to our expectations, we are very happy with this purchase. Love the convenience to connect a player as well.
Note: If you don't have one, I recommend getting a case for the mixer. It will protect your equipment and facilitate transport. Gator has very good ones.

I bought this Tascam about a year ago and I am very happy with so far. I am using a laptop running Windows XP and haven't had any problems with the device. I find the handling with the Tascam rather easy and think that for this price it is a perfect audio interface for beginners. (And even though it's a little embarrassing to me to mention how "badly" I treat my equipment sometimes, I have to say that I dropped the interface several times and it's still working fine! ;-)). I have connected my electric guitar with it, my keyboard (via both, 1/8 and midi) and I tried different microphones with the Tascam and each of them were picked up just fine.
I really didn't have problems with it and would recommend it as a "beginner's device".

Have not had the chance to test it yet but the physiscal condition is great, brand new with no visible defects at all. Well packaged and all buttons when pressed feels solid and well made. Will review when I finally use it.

Click Here to see more reviews about: ART Z Direct Professional Passive Direct Box

The ART Zdirect is a high quality totally passive interface that lets you connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced input thru a high performance audio isolation transformer. The high impedance single-ended 1/4' input is converted by the transformer into an isolated balanced low impedance signal source. The Zdirects audio transformer has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels while still maintaining an isolated balanced low impedance output. This gives the Zdirect a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources and over long signal runs in high noise environments. The Input Attenuator switches allow for a wide range of signal levels and the Input Thru jack allows for tapping off of your signal chain. The Ground Lift switch lets you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, when appropriate, to isolate two systems, thereby reducing hum and ground-loop noise. What further sets the Zdirect apart from other "DI" boxes are its extended features and versatility. ART has added a switchable low pass Filter that cuts out all very high frequency interference. This Bessel filter on the output is placed out of the audio range and is primarily intended to reduce radio frequency interference before it gets into the main system. The filter is also very effective in reducing any digital computer noise artifacts when using the Zdirect as an interface between a computer based audio workstation and your monitors. The Phase Invert switch, while not normally included with your run of the mill D.I. box, has been added to allow you to switch signal polarity right at the source. This feature is especially handy when you are combining a direct tap with a microphone feed in the mix. The compact black anodized all aluminum case and it's passive design allow the Zdirect to provide years of trouble free service in Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install

Honestly, I was very skeptical when ordering these behringer speakers. But after owning them for a couple of months and using them several times, I have grown to like them and heres why:

The 550 watts of pure power.
The bass and treble control.
The 1/4" input AND mic input.
And the volume control on the back.
Is it a crisp as a JBL, no....but nobody can hear the difference unless you know what a jbl eon sounds like.

If you just need to add microphones and sing to a music without voice it is great.
Looks nice, has some extra adjustments compare to cheaper units.
However if you really think if will remove voice from a regular song - it will not.
Like not at all :)
I do not need this feature so I bought it kind of knowing that it will not work.
The reason is that removing voice from a song is extremely complex procedure
and I did not expect this not expensive unit to do it.
So, if you do not need the voice canceling - buy it.
If you need it - do not, but I do not thing that you will find a device at a reasonable price which does it.

The filter has been designed so that vocal frequencies will be processed without significantly affecting other music signals. What is more, the filter only works in the center of the stereo panorama, where vocals are usually positioned in a recording.
Dual Mic Channels With EQ Behringer has included two independent mic channels with level controls and clip indicators for perfect level adjustment. A dedicated 2-band EQ provides for awesome vocal enhancement and sound shaping, and there is an accurate 6-digit LED output meter for precise level indication.
Built-In Effects The integrated digital echo/reverb processor delivers vocal enhancement in 24-bit/40 kHz resolution, to give our performance a little something extra.
Line Inputs Stereo Line Inputs/Outputs let you connect your favorite CD or MP3 player, tape recorder and similar equipment.
Performance and Convenience Ultra low-noise audio operational amplifiers offer outstanding sound performance. In addition, all MINI Series models can be stacked on top of each other to create an ultra-compact signal processing solution.

Behringer BCD3000 DJ Mixer Review

Behringer BCD3000 DJ Mixer

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Although it comes with Traktor 3 LE, you can also use it with Traktor 3 Pro as well as Torq and Virtual DJ. When using with Traktor 3 Pro, all you need to do is use the .tks midi configuration file from the LE version and all of the controls will be configured for you. Check out the Traktor site for more information on how to do that.
On a PC you have some more advanced options for the sound driver than on a Mac. I use this on both systems with Traktor 3 Pro and have not had any issues. If you are thinking of getting this, do it. You won't regret it!

Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Microphone, Cardioid Review

Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Microphone, Cardioid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I needed a cheap mic for podcasting. I expected a plastic hunk of junk at this price, but this mic is constructed very much like an SM58, with a thick, rugged metal chassis and screen. And it comes in a nice plastic carrying case. Sounds similar to an SM58, too. I'd highly recommend it for performance, podcasts, etc.

Few things are more essential to recording or live performance than dynamic microphones. behringer's xm8500 has the crucial features and durability to come through for your sound again and again.dynamic mics have several advantages that make them ideal for live vocal applications and for recording amplified instruments. they're robust, resistant to moisture and can achieve high gain before feedback. the mc8500's cardioid pickup pattern captures the source signal, such as a guitar amplifier or vocalist, while shunning off-axis sound.the xm8500 provides an amazing frequency response of 50 hz to 15 khz, and includes a two-stage pop filter to minimize breath and pop noises. and with its tough metal construction and sturdy steel windscreen, you can count on it to come through after countless gigs and studio applications. we've even included a rugged hard case with a mic clip and stand adapter.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
hmmm... first you will get more than you will pay for this product imagine the clarity sound of a desent studio sound systems, that is what you will hear on the speaker output... well i connected it with my yamaha pa speaker that is programed to 250watts rms to 500watts peak, and im really amazed and pleased to the sound output on it, althogh i dont think it can really push it to 350 watts at the max. and theres a wattage settings that you can read or see on the manual about 4ohms 8ohms to 16ohm thats why it really cant do the 350watts per channel... i just know by hearing it cause i recognized sounds and loud sound ...i also have a LIVE power mixer for my karaoke system that has 225watts per channel and that, i will say its louder but also every amp has its ups and downs and for the behringer pmp2000 this power mixer is better, imagine the clarity of a bose "acoustimas serries"... imagine that, that is what you can hear on a PA speaker... that is how good the sound that this power amp produced... about the down side its not that loud that i expect from a 350watts amp and the low's are not that deep or excelent, but thats maybe the speaker that i am using but still it has a good base but not to compare to a good powered subwoffer or car subwoffers... i will say its just right... but on my own satisfaction i wanted a better bass effect so i think im adding another sub speaker or just mix it with a powered subwoffer...
about the channels i have only tried 3 inputs like the guitar, mic, and cd or dvd sound out. and also media player like zune and cellphone that has a preamp or headphones out...and that it will really hugs your sound loving fellings...
about the mixing like i said on those three , there is no problem at all it dont distort the sound while you were playing it at the same time... what a very nice power mixer because on what it can do i would say you can pay 500 dollars and you will still win on that product of behringer, not to talk about the 99 different echos effects , flanger,chorus, and a lot more but they sounds close... once you tried the first effect or effect 1 and at your 25-30th effect you'll be lost and wont be remembering the difference the sound effect that you used earlier... anyway if you want a close look of what im taking about... check out my video on youtube about pmp2000. WARNING im not a very good camera man but i think ive shown what everybodies want's to hear and see's about this product... just type okeylang47 on the search tab and search for behringer pmp2000 den click... thank you for reading this review to the end ... happy shopping...

If you need superior stereo sound for small club gigs, churches or speeches, but have to keep the outboard gear to a minimum, the 10-channel PMP2000 can really deliver. This 800-Watt mixer has built-in mic preamps and an FX processor, as well as enough power to drive both mains and monitors, thanks to dual 350-Watt onboard power amps.


Massive Mono or Stunning Stereo The PMP2000 gives you the choice of 2 x 350-Watt stereo, 2 x 350-Watt dual mono or 800-Watt bridged mono output. Whether the center of attention happens to be a folk trio, a speech, or a synth-rock band with mind-boggling stereo patches, the PMP2000 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. Nine built-in, boutique-caliber mic preamps with switchable +48 V phantom power make it possible to use either dynamic or condenser mics with the PMP2000.
Built-in Digital Effects Processor It's also 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 has a footswitch jack for remote on/off.
Changing the Channels The PMP2000 gives you loads of flexibility in accommodating whatever the center of attention happens to be. Channels 1-6 are for mics, bass guitars or other mono instruments. Stereo channels 7-12 are ideal for keyboards. Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in external stereo signals from CD players or tape decks.
The Ins and Outs REC OUT RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording device, so you can finally get to work on that triple-live album you've always dreamed of. The left and right Output 1/4-inch connectors are there just in case you need to connect more amps. Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MONITOR output.
