Mackie PPM Series
Powered mixer with effects
808S - 1200 watt/Stereo 8-channel powered mixer
808M - 1200 watt/Mono 8-channel powered mixer
406M - 500 watt/Mono 6-channel powered mixer
The PPM Series mixers - 808S, 808M and 406M - are powered mixers,
designed for portable live sound applications. Each has two graphic equalizers,
built-in stereo digital effects with 16 presets, and two FR Series High-Current
power amplifiers.
The 808S has six mic/line input channels and two stereo mic/line input
channels.
The 808M has six mono mic/line input channels and two stereo mic/line
input channels.
The 406M has six mono mic/line input channels.
All channel strips feature XLR mic and 1/4" TRS line inputs, TRS
insert jacks, monitor and effects send, 3-band EQ, and an input Trim control
with individual level-set LEDs. And you won't need external effects due
to the EMAC 32-bit precision digital effects processor. There's
even an Effects to Monitor control, so you can give your stage monitors
a "wet" mix, totally independent of the Mains.
The output section on the 808S and 808M boasts two 600-watt FR power
amps, while the 406M has two 250-watt FR power amps. All include dual
9-band graphic equalizers, 75Hz rumble reduction filters, a switchable
soft-knee compressor, and output level metering.
Superb Sound Quality
Above all else, the PPM Series mixers sound great. Often copied, but seldom
duplicated, our high-headroom, low-noise mic preamps are legendary for
their superior sound quality. Each preamp channel has its own input Trim
control, which provides up to 40dB microphone gain, 20dB line-level gain,
or a full 20dB of attenuation to "pad" those really hot signals.
Channels also feature level-set LEDs for easy visual input gain adjustment - just
speak, sing, or yell into the mic and adjust the Trim control until the
little green LED blinks.
Active 3-Band Equalization
All of the PPM Series mixers feature the Mackie 3-band EQs on each channel,
with usable center frequencies as follows: 12kHz shelving high-frequency
EQ (+/-15dB), 2.5kHz peaking mid-frequency EQ (+/-12dB), and
80Hz shelving low-frequency EQ (+/-15dB).
Packed with Extras
The PPM's onboard phantom power supply means you can use high-quality
condenser microphones, as well as your favorite dynamic mics. Outputs
include a 1/4" TRS mixer line output, a 1/4" TRS monitor line
output, and left and right RCA tape/line outputs. And because you don't
want to give up an entire channel (or two) for a CD player, the 808S,
808M and 406M provides RCA Tape In jacks, with a dedicated level control,
for your favorite external playback device (tape, CD, iPod, etc.).
Possibly the most important feature on the PPM Series mixers is the Break
switch, which mutes channels 1-6, but allows whatever is connected to
the Tape inputs to be heard.
Onboard 32-bit Digital Effects
The pièce de résistance of the PPM Series is its onboard
EMAC 32-bit digital effects processor, which offers a plethora of
dynamic digital effects. You can select any one of 16 custom-designed
algorithms ranging from small room reverb to "out-of-this-world"
phase shifting - and they're all controllable and easy to operate.
Both the Monitor Master and Main Master rotary controls have corresponding
EFX controls, so you can mix your effects into the monitors as well as
the main outputs.
