DISC Mackie PPM608 8 Channel Powered Mixer

Full Description

Your gear needs to be able keep up the pace. Mackie designed the PPM608 with Class-D amps, which run cool and boast maximum efficiency to keep your sound pumping until they start kicking people out. Mackie's proven Fast Recovery circuitry is included, eliminating the risk of pesky amp latching. The result is a distortion free mix even when pushing peak levels.

The PPM's built-in limiter can go toe-to-toe with the most popular outboard stereo limiters used in live sound today, protecting your speakers from damage. The limiter's attack and release times are specifically selected to address full-bandwidth music and will not muddy things up by adding any unwanted pumping. PPM mixers are surprisingly lightweight, but tremendously powerful. You can push the PPM608 to its maximum output, distortion free.

The PPM Has the Right Tools For the Job

The PPM608 comes with a great-sounding, highly useable toolkit. Premium Mackie preamplifiers ensure transparent, low-noise/high-headroom characteristics right at the front of the mixer on all 8 mic/line channels. True 48V phantom power allows every condenser mic to perform at its full potential. The legendary 3-band active EQ straight off Mackie's tremendously popular VLZ3 mixer series makes sweetening any channel a breeze. Individual channel inserts on channels 1 to 6 allow compressors and other outboard processing on critical instrument or vocal channels. Dedicated in-line compressors on channels 1 to 4 bring simple but sweet dynamics to the PPM608 mixer. Dual graphic EQs are provided for use with mains and monitors. These EQs feature tight, constant-Q Filters that effect only the frequency range you've intended.

Add to all this simple features, like useable main and monitor output metering, and make a huge difference in your mix. Mackie high-resolution 12-segment meters enable more visibility of your signal, and the super quick response of the meters allows what you see to translate quickly and easily to what you hear.

'Gig Ready' Effects

The all-new RMFX+ (Running Man FX) 32-bit effects processor brings 'gig ready', useable effects to your mixes. The RMFX+ processor features 24 solid FX that are known for their utility and usability. Small, medium and large room reverbs with the choice of a warm or bright characteristic put your mix in the right space. Simple, rich choruses and an array of practical delays enable you to create professional mixes without requiring a two-hour sound check. Also, the RMFX+ is the first onboard processor to feature a user tap function. So if you want to use a delay, but our preset delay time doesn't work for you, you can tap it in instantly! The PPM608 is a full rack of gear, right at your fingertips.

Absolutely Armored

The PPM608 is fully armored and ready for gigging inside a solid steel chassis, helping to protect the electronics from any potential environmental hazard. Extremely durable polycarbonate ABS end caps will protect the PPM608 from years of abuse caused by tossing it in and out of the truck or falling off the stool at rehearsal. Each PPM608 features a rounded front with recessed controls, so you can be sure that it will emerge from any performance damage-free. The metal side handles allow you to easily pick it up and get going.

From Mackie's popular C series to their S series, the PPM is designed to match the power requirements of our passive speakers perfectly.
