"Over-featured - Under-powered"

Feature:
Lots of great effects on this mixer - cathedral, small room, stage, concert hall, etc. The ambience effect sounds best for the acoustic stuff I do. The FX feature is easy to see and use. The general layout of the mixer is very ergonomically satisfying - much more so than the boxy PA heads that look like guitar amp heads.

Quality:
The constructions seems very solid, even though the unit is incredibly light ( a plus for a 50+year-old player!). A gig bag or road case is probably a good idea.

Value:
I think it's a fair price for the quality.

Desirability:
Aesthetically and ergonomically, this mixer is very appealing

Sound:
This board has a very clean and clear presence through the Peavey PR 12's I'm using. However, it's very under-powered. I don't understand wattage ratings completely (like a lot of acoustic musicians), but the 600 watts is somewhat misleading. That only happens if you bridge the two sides of the amp (300wx2) to one speaker. If you're pushing two 8 ohm speakers, you actually only get 150 watts per side. Whatever the problem is, there is virtually no head room at the gain knob, the channel level or the main level. I tested some Yamaha AS 312's and they were even weaker. No bass response at all with this mixer/amp. I've added an old Altec preamp for 2 vocal channels and an Ashly compressor for my 2 acoustic guitars and it helps beef up the power considerably.

Support:
None needed yet

Overall:
This mixer suits my needs for now - acoustic duo, 2 guitars and/or keys. I bought this powered mixer based on research and reviews - and the reputation of Behringer. I did not want another powered mixer that resembles a guitar amp head. Love the layout and features. I'm very disappointed in the weakness in the power department and feel that the 600 watt rating is either incorrect or intentionally deceptive. My 60-watt 1966 Fender Bandmaster can peel paint off of walls when the volume is at "3"! This 600 watt mixer is loud only when every level is cranked to "10" - mains, gains, and channels! If this mixer were lost or stolen, I would probably not replace it with another. I would go research some more and maybe pay a little more for a more powerful unit.

Behringer PMH1000 Mixer Customer Review

Quality:
This thing reminds me of my cousin's Merc. Benz.S class.

Sound:
Perfect... But... High gain in bridge mode causes some audiable hiss.

Overall:
It is NOT under powered! I was having it drive a SINGLE Peavey 115 in bridge mode (@600watts) for vocals and it DOMINATED a 350w Line 6 bass amp, a 125w Peavey half stack, a 100w Krank half stack and a massive drum kit... It was so loud cops complained they could hear it driving down US business route 20! Its 600 watts for god's sake! ...YOU HAVE TO USE IT IN BRIDGE MODE! (flip the little switch above the LED meter to "Bridge" and flip the switch next to it to enable the +48v Phantom and plug in a 600+ capable watt driver into the RIGHT output jack) you can even dasiy chain two 16ohm cabs if you want to run it as a PA! ...just don't plug in anything into the left jack when doing this unless you have a death wish. (It should shut itself down, but ive seen sparks in my speakers' voice coils before it does)

Behringer PMH1000 12-Channel Powered Mixer with FX (400 Watts)
Though the PMH1000 is our most compact console-style powered mixer, it also boasts a comprehensive layout. It features 12 channels (4 mono + 4 stereo) plus stereo tape returns?and two of the stereo channels have additional mic inputs, giving you the capacity to handle small bands or events with several microphones plus various playback devices. Its 400 Watt CoolAudio amplifier delivers the power and flexibility for a wide variety of house and monitor speaker configurations.

With our revolutionary CoolAudio amplifier technology you get enormous power, incredible sonic performance and super-light weight delivered in an ultra-compact mixer that is nearly half the weight of conventional powered mixers.

Adding to the list of 'big-mixer' features are: our awesome XPQ 3D surround sound effect, the integrated Voice Canceller which removes vocals for karaoke applications, a stereo 7-band graphic EQ with FBQ Feedback Detection, dual 12-segment LED output level meters, stereo power amp inserts and Phones/Ctrl R output with dedicated level control for headphones or powered monitors.

The PMH1000 features 6 balanced low-impedance mic inputs (4 are state-of-the-art IMP 'Invisible' Mic Preamps) with low-cut filter and additional channel inserts. All channels feature high-quality 60-mm logarithmic faders for exact level control, input level trim controls, monitor and FX sends, signal and peak LED indicators and channel mute buttons. The dedicated CD/Tape input lets you connect a line-level stereo source while the standby switch instantly mutes all of the mic input channels, so you can play music during your breaks without having to change the fader positions and lose your mix. The super-rugged carrying handle makes it easy to transport while professional Speakon (r) connectors ensure outstanding performance and reliable connection.
