Very good sound quality, i bought a pair of the Tapco Series 69 15" to use with this board for rehearsal. I actually ran a couple of tunes from my ipod and holy christ this is a loud "Clean" combo. No Feedback when pushing high volume yet. I use a EV ND 767 as a mic and have had some problems with it feeding back as it is hotter than most shures and no feedback whatsoever

Everything is there! Effects are good enough to avoid having to buy outboard gear, voice cancellation works awesome (great rehearsal tool for coverbands when the band can't be there) EQ on/off options is cool, feedback detection seems to ferret out bothersome frequencies. Very pleased overall

No brainer if you have any sort of live sound knowledge and even if you know next to nothing this this a no brainer to use, I am looking forward to seeing exactly what this thing is capable of as I get more familiar with and use it for different applications.

Seems pretty sturdy with the exception of the faders, a couple channels seemed very loose as if they weren't attached to anything but they adjusted levels just fine.

Best bang for the buck without a question I did my homework

Haven't had to contact them yet

Good looking piece of equipment, use of color coded knobs carried through the board for easy at a glance recognition

I've just changed from using three different individual amps to the PMP5000. The sound has changed. Nolonger do the amps "fight" each other. The sound is clean and clear.

The mixer came with the AC power chord and the manual.

If you've used any type of mixer in the past, the PMP5000 is a "no brainer". Very straight forward. Just plug it in and start playing around.

I've only had my console a short time. It appears to be very well made. The only concern is how well the pots will stand up to their use over time. I guess I'll find out.

For the price, you can't get anymore "Bang for the Buck".

I've had several Beheringer products. They have all bee very good. I have not had to call for support.

Looks "real cool". Very professional.

The sound output with the PMP5000 is great. Our church is small and has an even smaller budget. But when the skeptics actually heard what it could reproduce in our small auditorium all of the abuse and hand wringing I took to get the mixer in the first place turned into praise and thanks. And I have yet to even to begin to scratch the surface of the capabilities of this mixer.

The Voice Cancellation ability was the most pleasant surprise of 5000. I was skeptical of how well it could perform. But when one of our lead soloists brought in a CD that he wanted to sing (but was unable to secure an instrumental version of the song) I popped it into the Sony CD Player and hit Voice Cancellation. We were both floored. Even though there is a bit of the vocals still evident during playback, while he is performing along with it the audience has no clue the vocals have been removed by the mixer.

Very easy to use, even without looking at the manual. A couple of things labeled differently but very straightforward and the learning curve for a relative n00b like me was minimal.

Everything seems to be right where it was supposed to be. No missing or loose knobs, no dings or scratches. All the promised cables were in the packaging. Very nicely packaged and delivered.

For the same money spent a few years ago (to replace an aging Peavey XR600c), the Behringer Europower PMP5000 is leaps and bounds a better value for the dollar and a lot more versatility.

No problems out of the box and no problems on it's first live show. Everything was flawless.

Everyone who saw me grimacing at our old setup trying to make it cough out a few more squeaks and squawks saw me beaming sitting behind the 5000 and they knew I was having the time of my life!

The sound quality and volume of this mixer is outstanding. Just make sure you run 2 each 8 ohm speakers on each channel for a 4 ohm load. Alot of morons are saying they expected more power and they are only running one 8 ohm speaker. To drive the amp you need a 4 ohm load.I use this for live rock band rehearsals and record them onto a DVD recorder. Just supply any video input, like a screen saver or vcr cam and this is the cheapest way to a quality recording. Even with all the inputs going it is nearly silent and the volume is great.

I play all the instruments in a rock band so with this PA I can leave everything hooked up and ready to play.I have digital drums and an acoustic kit, a behringer bass rig, a guitar stack, a keyboard and 4 mics of vocals, plus a karaoke player and a DVD player and I can leave it all hooked up at once! That is AWESOME! With 2 effects engines and the Voice Cancellation, EQ and Spatial Effects this Mixer is Feature Packed!!!

This thing is simple and forgiving. I haven't had a single problem with feedback. The only feature I didn't get right away was that when you adjust the trim, you want the level l.e.d. to STAY LIT and maybe turn it down just a tad. When you do this the volume is there baby! And STILL no Feedback!I'm experimenting now with using the monitor outs for rec outs so I can just amplify what I want but record it all. Just run 1/4 to rca cords from your monitor outs to your rec device and you can pan sources by having the mon1 high and the mon2 low, giving you a pan effect for your 2 channels! I do this to separate the 2 guitars!!!The only drawback to this system is you need insert effects.

The fit and finish is superb. But I would like to see a stronger metal frame used maybe in the future.After a long session I worry about it running a little hot, but so far so good. I've owned my PMP 5000 for about 4 months and run it at least 12 hours a week and I've had no complaints. I can crank it really loud and it has actually got me invites to play partys for my neighbors who like what they hear!!!

I would pay $800 for this powered mixer.I plan on buying a 2500 power amp and a couple 18 cabs. Behringer ROCKS!!

I have heard complaints about service, but I don'y know I've never needed it so far. I have a buddy that introduced me to Behringer and out of the 3 PA's and a bass amp he owns only his smallest PA lost one channel but he says he beat the snot out of it for 2 years before it blew! I'm buying some Behringer rack mount effects and more Bass gear because you can't beat the value and quality!

This thing is a Beauty. I love the handle on the mixer and just getting a TRUE 20 channels with extra tape ins and outs is great. This is the third PA I've had and so far its the best!

I'm impressed with the clarity of the sound. I haven't used it at full power yet (I don't have a room big enough!), but I haven't noticed any distortion. Very clean. I'm skeptical about the power rating, but I'm willing to take their word for it till I try it outdoors.

This thing has more toys than I'll use. I don't know if I'll ever need both FX processors, but the feedback detection is very nice and having two different monitor mixes is wonderful. Most mixers have a hi-mid-lo control for each channel, but this one lets you select the mid frequency as well.

Not much to learn here. I needed the manual to figure out that the clip light on the PFL button is different from the "level set" light on the trim knob, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward. I might have put the main master volume slider on the far right instead of the mono fader -- it would be easier to find quickly if necessary and the mono channel won't get used as much.

No problems yet. I have several Behringer products and have never been disappointed, but I'll have to use this for a while to see how well it holds up. The fit and finish are very good and the knobs and sliders all seem well made.

I can't imagine getting more mixer for the money anywhere else. This thing has great features and is well made. I would expect it to cost 50% more.

Haven't contacted Behringer yet.

Probably the sexiest mixer out there! The knobs are grouped in different colors and the FX and Monitor faders match the individual knobs. I think the dark gray looks more up-scale than the silver (PMH-5000)

Sound is fine...plenty of knobs to adjust the sound. Uhe EQ is good, no super sensative but effective. Appart from being a power mixer...I like the sound better than that of my buddies Mackie mixer.

I wish that it had an effects - in port to cover the entire board.

every new piece of gear has a learning curve...over all ,this one is easy.

Had it a few days...I like this companies goods...

kicks but for the buck. I have used so called high end gear that sounded and worked worse.

givwe a ten ....no problems to discuss

I think the FX, EQ are great. It is nice and quiet. CD in has a voice cancel which is cool! The only thing is that there is NO way this unit is pushing 600 watts per channel! I am running two PA cabs with 15" horn and driver at 8 ohms. The channel faders are almost all the way up, trim is up and the mains are topped out. While it sounds good at that volume, my speakers should have been toasted, they are rated at 350 watts each. My opinion is that the amp section is rated much higher than it really is.

It came with a power cord and a variety of manuals. And a cool sticker!

It's pretty much a plug and play unit, manual is easy to understand.

I think it is a well made unit, great value for the price. Only thing that may not hold up on the road is that the pots have plastic shafts and seem a little fragile.

I think it's worth the price I paid

Never had any issue that required me to deal with the company.

Looks pretty cool!

My God this board for the price and the quality of sound reproduction is fantaetic.I can't wait to try it out on its first show which will be in a weeks time.I have been using it in practice and the power is just really good in a small hall and I just can't wait to try it out in a large room with the large room effects!

It came with the cords needed to power it up. I just love the effects you can do with it.I had my son plug into the board and he started sounding like the beginning of some Pink Floyd songs.The 12 ports let you plug everything into the PA and let it all come out the speakers and subs.With the Euro 2500 amp I'm getting 3000 Watts which is good enough for outdoors.

YEAH boy to every thing!! I haven't had it very long but all indications point to the fact that after you play with it a while you will learn to get better at it the more you use it.The Manual might be a little sketchy though but its enough to get you through.

It is made to last. the finish is so cool.I love the dark grey as opposed to the silvery PMH finish.Like I said I just got it 2 weeks ago so I am still on the fence about reliability but all my friends who have had Beheringer boards still have them and they are still pumpin out the volume!!I hope this board will last for years and years.All my friends have had great sucess with them.

For the features and the clarity of sound I think its the best investment I have ever made.

When it first cane in it somehow didn't work when I hooked it up.I paniced and called Beheringer support.We went through it step by step and found the problem.The board wasn't in the right mode.When I swiched the 3 way switch to the right one it fired right up and has been goin faithful ever since!!

Its definately a 10!! It just looks cool just sitting there.Easy on the eyes.The handle is just fantastic!! I never seen handles on other boards this big.Lightweight for its size and easy to carry.

Every sound you want and need for vocals are here. For the price, you would be making a mistake if you did not consider the 5000 first. My band members thought I was cheap ( I am) but the 5000 construction is anything but cheap, I love it.

Its hard to rate this category. Its never really worked correctly at gigs since our Bass Player bought it. When we have it set up for practice it works fine. But when we load it up for a gig, half the power goes out. Then we have to rewire past the power, and hook up our back-up Crowns. It does get a decent sound, but its never been fully functional, so I rate this a 4.

Features are to be expected from such a device in its price range. A few effects, enough XLR channels for us to get by with boosting the stage sound, and vocals. I rate this a 5 cause no surprises feature wise.

It seems easy enough to run. But with the power problem we have been having, it makes it alot harder to work with. I rate this a 5 cause its a pain in the arse half the time.

This area simply lacks the confidence a band needs when setting up for a gig. Out of the three times so far we have used it at a gig, it has failed us. Half the power goes out, and half the inputs go out, and of course, half the output goes out. I rate this a 3 because we are not pushing it all that hard, and its failed miserably.

If it dont do what it claims to do, it aint worth the paper is was planned on. There is no value to something that claims what it does, and doesnt do it. This is the worse !

We figure our situation requires a send-back to the factory. But the problem is that this thing works fine at practice cause we dont taxi it very much with plugging in only vocals. So, how do you tell support that it "aint cuttin it!" ??? We'll see how the support goes. I give this one a 5 cause we havent dealt with support yet.

Dont want it !

I had many mixers and power mixers over the years. Due to its cheap price I bought the Behringer. Well, it is true, you get what you pay for, But not with Behringer, you actually gett less with this desk, The Sound, well, some out there might like it, it might be OK for an amateur gig, but for pro use, Thanks, but no thanks. Cranking it up beyond a certain level you get a lot of hiss. The EQ section is rather clumsy, it is difficult to achieve a reasonable sound with the EC section in this desk, the knobs are rather unresponsive, not detailed setting is possible. The sound of this is rather flat, the mic pre-amps probably the worst I have heard in any console. For only little money more you get a better product from any other company.

Yes, there are a lot of features is this desk, but what good is that if they are of bad quality, if the sound of the desk is horrible, whatever the features

Its as any desk, but using it is difficult for the sole reason that whatever you do, the sound stays Behringer sound

Well, its Behringer quality. You don't know it it still works tomorrow.

You get what you pay for ? - NO - with Behringer you get less

Behringer support is nearly non-existing. They want to sell you their product, then they do not want to hear from you anymore. Try ringing them,(if you find a number hahaha) Try email them, with a lot of search you might find their email, and with some luck you get a response, but I would not bet on it.

I had mine for 2 weeks, did a few gigs with it, and was lucky that somebody bought it of me. No more Behringer product of any kind, Pay a bit more, get something decent.
