Behringer PMP500MP3 500W 8-Channel Powered Mixer with MP3 Player and KLARK TEKNIK FX

Small venues and mobile performers often struggle to find a compact mixer that delivers enough power, clean preamps, and built-in effects without dragging along a rack of outboard gear. The Behringer PMP500MP3 solves that by packing a 500-watt Class-D amplifier, four XENYX mic preamps, a 7-band graphic EQ, and a 25-preset KLARK TEKNIK FX processor into a single road-ready unit. Add a front-panel USB MP3 player and you have a complete live sound hub that fits on a tabletop or in a rack with an optional kit.

Who is it for

Bands, solo artists, DJs, and presenters who need reliable, high-headroom sound for small to medium gigs, rehearsals, or events. It is equally suited to houses of worship, schools, and corporate AV setups where simplicity and fast setup matter. If you need to connect microphones, instruments, and a music source while keeping the rig lightweight and easy to transport, this mixer is built for you.

Tips

Use the FBQ system during soundcheck: press the FBQ button on the graphic EQ and the LED on the offending frequency will light up, allowing you to cut only that band. For karaoke nights, engage the Voice Canceller and route a stereo track through the USB player or aux input. When rack-mounting, leave at least one rack space above and below for ventilation to keep the Class-D amp running cool.
