Mackie's PPM Series Powered Mixers are an excellent choice for small to medium sized venues or bars that have limited space. Its compact and ultra-lightweight design mean you can pull it out when you need it and have all the power you need. PPM is an excellent solution for integration into existing passive loudspeaker systems, bands touring small clubs or any application requiring an ultra-lightweight, powerful, all-in-one mixing and amplification solution.
The PPM1008 features 800W + 800W peak Class-D, Fast Recovery™ power amplifiers, six mono mic/line channels each with 3-band Perkins EQ and sweepable mid and two stereo mic/line/RCA channels each with 4-band Perkins EQ.
The PPM1008 is equipped with a 32-bit RMFX+™ processor featuring 24 effects with tap delay, dual 9-band graphic EQ (one for mains, one for monitors) and dedicated in-line compressors on the first four channels.
Each mono channel has a premium Mackie mic preamp, a low/high gain switch, one Mon send and one FX/Mon send and a Channel Insert jack for connecting an external processor.
There are built-in DIs on channels 5 and 6 for direct connection of guitars or bass, a 1/4" stereo footswitch jack for muting effects and a subwoofer output.
Other features include +48V phantom power, stereo tape output, stereo 12-segment LED meters and TRS stereo output jacks.
Despite its large channel count, the PPM1008 is ultra-light and has Mackie's "Built-Like-A-Tank" construction.
