Mackie PPM1008 8-Channel Powered Mixer, 1600W

Mackie's PPM1008 ultra-light and completely self-contained professional powered mixer features two robust power amps for mains and/or monitors (800W + 800W). With 1600 watts of system power, the PPM1008 is capable of powering a huge system. The PPM1008's custom designed Class-D amps are cool-running and boast maximum efficiency, keeping your sound pumping until they start kicking people out. PPM mixers are surprisingly lightweight, but tremendously powerful. You can push the PPM1008 to its maximum output, distortion free.

The RMFX+ (Running Man FX) 32-bit effects processor brings "gig ready," usable 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, 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 perfectly-timed delay, you can tap it in instantly. Basically, Mackie delivered a full rack of gear at your fingertips that is easy to master, allowing you to look really and sound really good at your next gig.

The PPM1008 is fully armored inside a solid steel chassis, helping to protect the electronics from any potential environmental hazard. (Think beer.) Extremely durable polycarbonate ABS end caps will protect the PPM1008 from years of abuse caused by tossing it in and out of the truck or falling off the stool at rehearsal. Each PPM1008 features rounded front with recessed controls, so if it rolls on its face in the van or gets kicked over at the show, you can be sure that it will emerge damage-free. Two metal side handles allow you to easily pick it up and get going. It’s ultra-light so you won’t need both hands!

Matching speakers to amps can suck the fun out of an otherwise pleasant trip to the music store. Keeping that in mind, PPM mixers and Mackie passive speakers were made for each other. They even included the one-touch Precision Passive EQ button, which is designed to make their speakers sound better than ever. From the popular C series (C300/200) to the S series (S200/S400), they designed their mixer to match the power requirements of their passive speakers perfectly. They easily provide enough power for a complete system; In fact, this mixer can drive two of the S215 15" 2-way speakers off the mains AND a pair of C300s as Monitors without needing outboard amps.

So if you want a truly professional set of tools for your next gig, including a Mackie mixer, onboard compressors, Fast Recovery amplification, twin graphic EQs, and “gig-ready” effects, pair up a PPM1008 and any Mackie Precision Passive loudspeakers for the ultimate, portable, professional P.A. system.
