Mackie 808S 1200-Watt 8-Channel Stereo Powered Mixer

Quality Mackie product at great price!

The whole point of a powered mixer is lots of power, right? That's why there's a real FR Series High-Current, Fast-Recovery power amp inside every PPM™ Series Powered Mixer.

It's designed to run all night into brutally low impedances and sound clean even when driven hard. Mackie starts with a massive toroid transformer and 2 unusually large storage capacitors with 720 joules of energy storage capacity. In fact, the PPM power supply is so robust that it can run on as little as 80 volts at the end of a long, skinny extension cord during a brown-out. Then they add their Fast Recovery circuitry that reduces latching distortion so PPM Series mixers sound good even when driven well into clipping. Also included is an SCR crowbar circuit for speaker protection.

• 1200 real watts/2 ohms from twin 600-watt FR Series High-Current power amps
• Power amps switchable as mains or main plus monitor
• 8 mic/line channels with master phantom power
• Inserts on channels 1-6
• Active 3-band EQ on each channel
• 2 separate 9-band, audiophile-quality graphic EQs-- one on mains and one on monitor
• Stereo line inputs on channels 7 and 8
• Level-setting control & LED on every PPM mixer channel-makes setting input levels a snap
• Mil-spec fiberglass circuit boards (instead of cheap phenolic) resist physical impact
• Amp routing switch assigns power amps to mains or mains + monitors
• Hefty 10,000µf storage capacitors for high peak power reserves
• Massive toroid transformer for high current output
