"Great Mixer for the money "
I've read a lot of bad reviews on this product ....but after actually owning one and using it live , it is a good mixer for the money . Most bad reviews claim of lack of power ... it is 200 watts at 8 ohms , 400 watts at 4 ohms just like it claims , these guys must be hooking up 16 ohm car speakers to it and expecting a miracle . Do your home work guys and learn about proper impedance's . These bad reviewers buy this thing and think their gonna play stadiums with it lol big time

"Good unit for the money"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am very happy with unit it does it job very good. Was a little disappointed by 800 (400 X2) watt claim on the power section, but thats not RMS watt thats peck
Sound
I have used this board for over 3 years now it. Haven't had any problems. Doesn't have the power, but for small gigs if seem to be fine. What I do for larger show use an external power amp for the Mains and the on board for monitors work very good
Features
Has good features like channel mutes, on 2 on board effects, effect to monitor. Subs out with Xover when using subs
Ease of Use
It very easy to operate not like some boards you don't have to be rocket scientist to operate it!
Quality
Seems work fine no problems so far had it over 3 years. But like any gig you better have a back I don't care if you have the best, its better to be prepared
Value
I think is very good board for the money even if it doesn't have enough power. It likes to have 4 Ohm speakers on powered part of this unit. But even so for larger gigs you need a external power amp

"Look at something else before you decide to get this"
I will not buy another one if it gets lost or broke. I actually wanted to get the PMH 2000 which I think has much more power than the PMH 5000.
Sound
The multiple channels and FX and other features are great. I enjoy using it as a non powered mixer. Not enough haed room. Have to put the gain quite high for certain situations. Not good for recordings. The sound from the pwer section is very weak and when our drums are playing the whole system will pull back with the LEDs clipping. Very under powered. We have now added a Yamaha power amp and it works great now. Dont use it without a power amp as the numbers on the mixer are very much overated. It sounds like 50w x 2
Features
Great features, especially the dual FX. Quite usefu we can use 1 FX for vocals and another for the instruments. I wish it had extra sends so that I could send to other processors.
Ease of Use
The mixer is easy to use for me cause I have used much more complicated ones. Using the mixer is a breeze. The manual is quite straight forward and easy to use.
Quality
Although it looks robust, the mixer failed on us once but then on it was ok. In any situation, its better to have a back up as I truly have no confidence in the product.
