Hi Scott, so glad you are back on here again teaching and sharing your vast knowledge with us. I have learned so much from you so a massive thank you for that. Stay fit and healthy my friend, from a guy across the pond
Thank You Scott for coming back to TH-cam. Your content is informative and worthwhile. You were missed here by many and I hope you don't have any more problems with the crazies. We - who you have helped so much appreciate your sharing. Mixing units always important even in the digital age.
Thank you, So much for this explanation. I'm a beginner when it comes to this and you really put this in plain English for me. Wish I would have known this a year ago. Great job, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this video. I WAS in the “I didn’t know squat” segment of society. I have the PMP2000 and have used it in our small church till “times got better” so to speak. And you’ve also shown me how to get the most of this piece of equipment and expand on it with other mixers. I’m waiting on my five year old grandson to pick up on drums, guitar or keyboard. You just made this grandpa stand a little taller !!!! Thanks !!!!!
My son and I jam in our Man Cave. (Garage) We took your advice and ran everything through the PA, even though it's small speakers in a small room. (We use a beat buddy for drums) We have a sub, we have monitors and small FOH speakers. Guitar, drums (machine), bass and vox all into the mixing desk and the sound is the best we have ever had. It doesn't have to be loud and we can hear everything. Many thanks!
Really great video, Scott. My only understanding of mixing has been through limited trial and error - your walk-thru filled in many gaps (probably all) and definitely helped me understand a more versatile way of handling drums, keys, etc., without having a huge main mixer. Much appreciated!
yea, i bought their 180 watt acoustic amp, German engineering, how could i go wrong..... .....works as good as my Chinese made Takamine....you know ...Japanese wood work, how could I go wrong...... Actually two beloved pieces of equipment.
Nice video thank you. I've had this PA for years and just learned a bunch of awesome things that I can do with it that I never knew were possible thanks again.
I am an old school musician and have the exact same EuroPower 2000. It is indeed a great little machine and you did a very nice job explaining how to use it. I even learned a few new things myself. Thank you
Hello Scott. When you took all your videos down I was trying to build a rack, just a simple one. I would look around at yard sales and such. Then seen a new one online and I bought it. It's a Behringer Xenyx 1222USB. Premium 16-input 2/2 bus mixer with XENYX mIC pREAMPS & Compressors, British EQs 24 bit multi FX Processor and USB/Audio Interface. Thats a mouthful. I don't know much about them. And went to a yard sale bought a SoundTech wooden box look like somthing I could make a rack out of took it home opened it up and inside was Behringer FBQ 31 channel EQ. A Multicon Pro XL Audio Interactive Processor 2 channels on that. Then another with 2 that says kick and snare that someone marked. Then on bottom a Phonic MQ 3600. I have all this piled up in my bedroom, needless to say what my wife has to say about it she don't like it much. But I think if I had the speakers to go with all this I think I could give a band a run for there money. But like I was saying all I need is a simple rack to play.
I have a DVD you did a few years ago sound system 101. I purchased all my equipment based on your dvd, how to match speakers and such. Had a jam and one of the guys who is a “pro” complimented how great the pa sounded. Thanks to you!
Your video is God send. I am looking to get my first mixer/PA solution and this explains very well the things I need to be looking for. However, I may go the non-powered mixer route. Not decided. I will check your channel if you have something on pros / cons of that option. Really like the easy style and pace of your speaking. Please do keep it simple so non-techs like us understand. Thank you so much for your effort.
I have 2 of those. Awesome and Reliable. I just bought the Behringer Xair16. I swear by Behringer, I play 6 nights a week and no problems yet. 15 years on my oldest head.
I've been using one of those PMX2000's for a very long time indeed. It powers small festival stages, for the most part. We also run one at work, and load up every channel. For mixing "in the trenches" this is a good one. The XENYX 1604 mixer is also a nice tool if you want analog mixing + 16 track recorder all in one. Its only downfall are the cheap faders.
great explanation I have been around music gear for over 30 years at least and all mixing units run different , and I understand everything you explained great job and thanks for your time going thru this as our band is in Thailand and we have just bought one of these mixers brand new , looking forward to rehearsal and trying this bad boy out , Cheers Scott !!
Fantastic. I knew a fair amount about various gear in 1979 and then gave it up for other pursuits. So its fascinating to see what has come along since. so much more for much less. Many thanks, Dr. Groovy. I dig it, man! Compressors again? a combo amp of solid state and tubes(of some thing like that. that you once recommended. Even the volume pedal fix, too. Your videos were and are the best by a large margin. I bought lessons. How could I go wrong, right?
Thank you for this. I was thinking of buying a powered speaker just to get rid of heavy amps and my passive spkrs. I have one of these which I bought 2nd hand. Understanding how to use this made me rethink my options. This should be enough .
Good review and explanation. My friend just bought the desk version of this (the PMP 4000) and it's great. She uses it for her small stage show for kids. Three radio mics and laptop playback. FOH speakers and one monitor. Works really well.
I use a similar system, but I use a non powered 6 channel, mixer for the drums, then line it to one of the channels, which gives me a master drum mix, the the sound guy can just bring one fader up and down, Great video, Bro,
Hey Scott, many thanks, great video as always. I bought your PA DVD awhile back and learned much. This freebie has added to my knowledge as I have been "Guitarded" re PA for many years. Recently bought one of those Bose "stick" systems , which go behind the band and require no monitors. I am also looking at a QSC digital board to get rid of the Yorkville M1610 powered head we line out to the Bose for more channels. Looking to "lighten my PA load" as I am in my 60's but still giging. Would appreciate any comments either negative or positive. B
Thanks for the vid. Just looked up the newer version [d> of this powered monitor and It has separate eq section and monitor volume knob...but no separate output for those monitors. Qhat a drag. The older version you have is less power but better goodies. What the he'll was the company thinking?
Thank you for this tutorial. I have the same exact Behringer but always needed more info on all its functionality. The manual doesn’t tell you jack shit! This was perfect. I appreciate you covering sub mixing also. Now I can mic up the drums along with everything else.
Hey Scott very informative Thank you. Do you think for personal monitoring a behringer 205 for everyone in the band is a good idea or should I just do what you've already suggested?
Very informative. I host a showcase once a month at a brewpub and haven't spent much time with the house system which I'm sure this is the Behringer copy of. (Yamaha EMX) On the Yamaha, the monitor out in the back is for passive monitors and the monitor out in the front is for powered monitors. Does the Behringer have the same setup? Other than that, they are nearly identical.
we have one of these were set up in a room to stream a class--we do not need the pa amplifier-just the mixer. Is there a way to just shut off the pa portion. Thank you
great video, Im a bit confused on bridge mode. I have 2 Yamaha BR12 8ohms with power: 300 Watts Program Rating: 600 Watts Maximum . Can Bridge mode handle 1 speaker or should I daisy chain them from Main(Right) output? Thanks for your insight
How would you set up in ears with this mixer? I connected the Xvive unit to the monitor out and no signal. It’s a good mixer for rehearsals! More channels would be nice with a 6 piece band. Also, it’s next to impossible to find new 3 way pa speakers.
I want more power for a venue , can i use a couple of them(amps) connected in line , if so , please eplain how i do the distribution of speakers and instruments between 2 or three mixer amps like this one but in line ..
Hi, thanks for sharing this amazing video. Can you please ( or anyone here) show me how to setup my PRX 812W speakers to the PRX715 powered Sub to the MW12C Yamaha Mixer. I do have the DBX EQ and the DBX drive rack and also the Lexicon. I am so greatly thankful for your help in advance.👍🏻👌
Like their FCB1010 pedal ( easier to use if you download the FB MANAGER program) can be used instead of the JOHNSON J12 pedal if you do not have the original for your Millennium 150
Hi there. I have a Behringer pmp 2000. I just bought a new LG 68” I wanted to connect the sound input into my speakers Pavey brand. But the Behringer doesn’t have a wire where I can put into it. Is there anyway you can help me?
This video is soooo informative. Thank you for posting it. Question tho. So I have the harbinger lp9800 which is almost identical to urs on this video…I want to know how to connect 2 main speakers, a left main and a right main…but also too, run one floor monitor out front in front of the singer. How would I connect everything if I wanted to run those three speakers like that??? That and know what setting to put it on in the front….Please if u could help. I can’t find no one to assist me and I am not a sound engineer. Thank you.
There should be a switch that lets you run the 2 amps inside as stereo or main/monitor. Choose the main/monitor option. You will see the speaker connection on back labeled MAINS, that is where you run one speaker cable to one of your main speakers and you run another speaker cable from that first main cabinet to the 2nd main cabinet. The other speaker output should be labeled MONITOR and you run a speaker cable to that (you can jump one more monitor off of that the same way you did with the mains if you wish). You will now have a separate equalizer to the mains and one to the monitors. That will get you there my friend.
I have a peavy XR 684f a studiomaster 700d amplifier and x2 prosound 300w speakers. Theres two other speakers, one looks like a floor monitor. Not sure. Its all working i just don't know what i can use it for. It was gifted to me by my next-door neighbour who recently passed away. He was a club singer, entertainer
Aussie Outlaw you can record via the white and red RCA output labelled Line Out with a 3.5mm jack which usually goes into a laptop. You can record monitor mixes via the preamp outputs or the 6.5mm jacks on the bottom right of the mixer as well. Hope that helps
awesome Video , I was wondering if you can help me. I have a MACKIE SR40-8 bus I'd Like to use it in my Studio . Its rather Large and confusing , I've used smaller Mixers , but this one is confusing Especially the center section. which is the brain section. I would really appreciate your help
I see a lot of boards with a couple channels for only 1/4" "Hi-Z" guitar/keyboard inputs. Unrelated, when you mention going out of the preamp though a DI and into the power sections, how are you converting from the XLR out of the DI to the 1/4" input on the power amp section?
Most of those necks are acrylic and I pulled the necks off of a all of my acrylic guitars and put acrylic necks on them, so...the original, wood necks are just laying down there so I can find them when the day comes to sell those guitars....I can put them back to original.
I have Karaoke system (2 Bose 802 series, Peavey XR684 9 channel mixer) do I really need a mixer to complete a karaoke system. I setup in the past without a mixer, the output sound didn’t sound right. Maybe I didn’t have a correct setting on the Peavey power amp)
One important thing - I am in the US but will be traveling to Asia from time to time where it is 230 Volts. I hope the newer models of mixers and speakers these days have automatic voltage acceptance adjustment capability? Do you have any thoughts on that and what brands I should be researching? I was looking at the websites of Marshall and Orange amps and this info on auto voltage acceptance is not there even in product manuals even though Marshall Code 50 and Code 25 amps, for example, have this ability!
This is a great explanation of this mixer. I looked at buying one of these in a used package deal. The issue is that the speakers that come with it only have inputs. I won’t be able to run both main speakers off the left/main and my passive monitors off the right/monitor side. I assume I’d have to buy a separate amp for the mons and run them out the preamp on front.
Groovy Music Lessons thanks much! I’m pretty new to this and that’s a huge help. Although, wouldn’t running two 8 ohm speakers off each side drop the total load to 2 ohms and potentially damage the amp?
If you have the switch set for Mains/Monitor operation, then it would only be 4 ohms per side or per power amp. So, in THAT case, you would be fine and dandy. You would then have one of those equalizers for the mains and the other equalizer for your monitors. Since the unit has two totally separate power amps in it, you can run 4 ohms off of both sides no matter what. If it was a single channel power amp, then yes, you would be exactly right. That is one other reason I love these particular mixers so much, very versatile.
Question for anybody out there: If I have a mixer or audio source (in my case a Tascam DP-32sd) and I want to send the output to this mixer, should I connect into the power amp input by bypassing the Behringer mixer section or just connect the outputs into a stereo channel? Thank you to anybody who can answer this question!
That’s exactly what I have a PIA mixed 2000 I just need a fuse for it can you help me out please brother so I don’t have to go buy some new piece of crap that’s not going to sounds good. Thank you for your time God bless keep on rockin
Hey Dr Groovy just bought me this berhinger system on your recommendation and thank you for this video! Is your DVD still available for sale on how to set up PA system? PA 101?
Yes, it is! I have it uploaded to TH-cam, but as unlisted. Here is a link that will allow you to watch it instead of making you pay for it. I hope it helps you out. th-cam.com/video/ONPwP5HNLiM/w-d-xo.html
Hi I;m thinking of adding a 4x12 Marshall Cab 8 ohms to my Musysic MU-P7K 7000 Prof. Power Amp? It says 8 ohms Bridged is 500 RMS Watts The speakers are 1200 Watts ea. Is it a good IDEA?? Nick!
Not sure if you still use these Scott, but there's a current Harbinger powered mixer that looks to be identical to this Behringer. All the controls/inputs/outputs are the same, including the preamp outs you like. LP9800 is the model, played a couple shows with a friend who used one and didn't have any issues
Hello, Music Tribe is the parent company for Behringer and Harbinger...so, Identical copies are quite common with the 2 brands. I still have 7 of the Behringer units and only 1 has ever went dead on me. I'm not sure what caused it to happen. It could be a simple fuse, I haven't looked into it. Thanks for watching and writing to me. Stay GROOVY!!!
Good video. I just got a very similar powered mixer so I’ve been checking out some things here on TH-cam. There was one part in your video that was a little confusing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at 22:20 you said, “if it’s in stereo mode for the front speakers only”, then you went on to describe a what sounded more like a mono set-up by way of a one channel daisy chain from one speaker to another. If you were wanting stereo in the mains wouldn’t you hook one speaker up to the right/main speaker out and the other speaker up to the left/monitor out and make sure that it was selected as such (left/right) on the front of the unit? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks!
Yeah, if you want stereo, use it in the stereo Left/Right mode. That setting doesn't allow for separate monitors, but if you don't need them (like a DJ situation) then go that route for sure.
That was a great vid Scott. Ive had several different models like that. Peavey , beringer, and a couple other brands. Never that specific model # . You are absolutely right. The features that pmp2000 has are exactly wut is needed. Without a couple of those features it becomes nearly useless. Again.....great video. Thanks. Bryan
Thanks Scott. I just bought a PMX 2000 here in New Zealand. Your directions are easy to follow and... friendly. Are you sure you're a real sound-man??!
Hey Scott, I'm seeing a lot of the PMXs on the market these days and not too many PMPs. Can you tell us all what's wrong with those/why not to buy them? Thank you sir, love the videos.
@@mistermojo1969 I still use a PMX in my music room. Nothing wrong with them. They are simply a really old model now and the start to slowly break down, starting with one channel at a time going bad and one set of the 2 graphic eq's going bad so that it can only be ran in mono etc. So, they have proven not to last in the REALLY LONG run. I have 5 of the PMPs. I fully trust in those.
@@groovydjs Thanks so much, I will hold out for one of the PMPs. Mine is just going to go into my practice room as well, don't expect it to see much live use.
It has minimal gain control, but one that works pretty well. There is a gain input pad button on each channel. I've had great luck with it and no distortion on any gigs in different gigs when using different mics, wireless, wired and those requiring phantom power from the mixer. If I ever needed more control for some reason, I would simply get the fine tuned gain from either one of my single space rack mixers or one of my rack mount compressor/limiters. I hope that helps.

So I have the harbinger lp9800 which is almost identical to urs on this video…I want to know how to connect 2 main speakers, a left main and a right main…but also too, run one floor monitor out front in front of the singer. How would I connect everything if I wanted to run those three speakers like that??? That and know what setting to put it on in the front….Please if u could help. I can’t find no one to assist me and I am not a sound engineer. Thank you.
There should be a switch that lets you run the 2 amps inside as stereo or main/monitor. Choose the main/monitor option. You will see the speaker connection on back labeled MAINS, that is where you run one speaker cable to one of your main speakers and you run another speaker cable from that first main cabinet to the 2nd main cabinet. The other speaker output should be labeled MONITOR and you run a speaker cable to that (you can jump one more monitor off of that the same way you did with the mains if you wish). You will now have a separate equalizer to the mains and one to the monitors. That will get you there my friend.
Can you use four guitar in powered mixer and 9 ten microphone and electrical drum set how many speaker do you need now.
I have a peavy XR 684f a studiomaster 700d amplifier and x2 prosound 300w speakers. Theres two other speakers, one looks like a floor monitor. Not sure. Its all working i just don't know what i can use it for. It was gifted to me by my next-door neighbour who recently passed away. He was a club singer, entertainer
These are pretty durable units. We have a Behringer PMH880S , it has held up driving 4ohms per side for years.
I have one of these totally love it but cannot find out how to record from it
Aussie Outlaw you can record via the white and red RCA output labelled Line Out with a 3.5mm jack which usually goes into a laptop. You can record monitor mixes via the preamp outputs or the 6.5mm jacks on the bottom right of the mixer as well. Hope that helps
awesome Video , I was wondering if you can help me. I have a MACKIE SR40-8 bus I'd Like to use it in my Studio . Its rather Large and confusing , I've used smaller Mixers , but this one is confusing Especially the center section. which is the brain section. I would really appreciate your help
I see a lot of boards with a couple channels for only 1/4" "Hi-Z" guitar/keyboard inputs. Unrelated, when you mention going out of the preamp though a DI and into the power sections, how are you converting from the XLR out of the DI to the 1/4" input on the power amp section?
Now on the monitors you can actually daisy chain them and have it all like controlling that one knob that you were saying about a monitors am I right
Hi mate can yo please tell me how to connect powered subwoofer to this system. I have the same system
Good info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Scott, another fantastic and informative video. Many thanks. But I couldn't stop looking at all those guitar necks. What the what?!
Most of those necks are acrylic and I pulled the necks off of a all of my acrylic guitars and put acrylic necks on them, so...the original, wood necks are just laying down there so I can find them when the day comes to sell those guitars....I can put them back to original.
How about yamaha emx7 Scott?
Trying to find non class d version of this in my country is hard.
I have Karaoke system (2 Bose 802 series, Peavey XR684 9 channel mixer) do I really need a mixer to complete a karaoke system. I setup in the past without a mixer, the output sound didn’t sound right. Maybe I didn’t have a correct setting on the Peavey power amp)
One important thing - I am in the US but will be traveling to Asia from time to time where it is 230 Volts. I hope the newer models of mixers and speakers these days have automatic voltage acceptance adjustment capability? Do you have any thoughts on that and what brands I should be researching? I was looking at the websites of Marshall and Orange amps and this info on auto voltage acceptance is not there even in product manuals even though Marshall Code 50 and Code 25 amps, for example, have this ability!
This is a great explanation of this mixer. I looked at buying one of these in a used package deal. The issue is that the speakers that come with it only have inputs. I won’t be able to run both main speakers off the left/main and my passive monitors off the right/monitor side. I assume I’d have to buy a separate amp for the mons and run them out the preamp on front.
You can run 2 mains and 2 monitors off of these with no problem. You can buy "Y" adapters to run 2 cables out from each jack in the back.
Groovy Music Lessons thanks much! I’m pretty new to this and that’s a huge help. Although, wouldn’t running two 8 ohm speakers off each side drop the total load to 2 ohms and potentially damage the amp?
If you have the switch set for Mains/Monitor operation, then it would only be 4 ohms per side or per power amp. So, in THAT case, you would be fine and dandy. You would then have one of those equalizers for the mains and the other equalizer for your monitors. Since the unit has two totally separate power amps in it, you can run 4 ohms off of both sides no matter what. If it was a single channel power amp, then yes, you would be exactly right. That is one other reason I love these particular mixers so much, very versatile.
Please is it possible to connect this mixer to another one so it makes it two
Question for anybody out there: If I have a mixer or audio source (in my case a Tascam DP-32sd) and I want to send the output to this mixer, should I connect into the power amp input by bypassing the Behringer mixer section or just connect the outputs into a stereo channel? Thank you to anybody who can answer this question!
That’s exactly what I have a PIA mixed 2000 I just need a fuse for it can you help me out please brother so I don’t have to go buy some new piece of crap that’s not going to sounds good. Thank you for your time God bless keep on rockin
can tell how to turn off auto protection of PMP2000 power mixer?
Wow, is that a guitar neck grave yard below the mixer?
Hey Dr Groovy just bought me this berhinger system on your recommendation and thank you for this video! Is your DVD still available for sale on how to set up PA system? PA 101?
Yes, it is! I have it uploaded to TH-cam, but as unlisted. Here is a link that will allow you to watch it instead of making you pay for it. I hope it helps you out. th-cam.com/video/ONPwP5HNLiM/w-d-xo.html
How would I connect in-ears to this ?
This mixer have also a watts power like power amplifier? New subcriber here
Hi I;m thinking of adding a 4x12 Marshall Cab 8 ohms to my Musysic MU-P7K 7000 Prof. Power Amp? It says 8 ohms Bridged is 500 RMS Watts The speakers are 1200 Watts ea. Is it a good IDEA?? Nick!
Sir i have a pmp2000 amp. But problem the 1 channel is no sound so what can i do please show me how thank you sir.
Not sure if you still use these Scott, but there's a current Harbinger powered mixer that looks to be identical to this Behringer. All the controls/inputs/outputs are the same, including the preamp outs you like. LP9800 is the model, played a couple shows with a friend who used one and didn't have any issues
Hello, Music Tribe is the parent company for Behringer and Harbinger...so, Identical copies are quite common with the 2 brands. I still have 7 of the Behringer units and only 1 has ever went dead on me. I'm not sure what caused it to happen. It could be a simple fuse, I haven't looked into it. Thanks for watching and writing to me. Stay GROOVY!!!
Can you connect Dj amp to the mixer amp?
Good video. I just got a very similar powered mixer so I’ve been checking out some things here on TH-cam. There was one part in your video that was a little confusing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at 22:20 you said, “if it’s in stereo mode for the front speakers only”, then you went on to describe a what sounded more like a mono set-up by way of a one channel daisy chain from one speaker to another. If you were wanting stereo in the mains wouldn’t you hook one speaker up to the right/main speaker out and the other speaker up to the left/monitor out and make sure that it was selected as such (left/right) on the front of the unit? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks!
Yeah, if you want stereo, use it in the stereo Left/Right mode. That setting doesn't allow for separate monitors, but if you don't need them (like a DJ situation) then go that route for sure.
That was a great vid Scott. Ive had several different models like that. Peavey , beringer, and a couple other brands. Never that specific model # . You are absolutely right. The features that pmp2000 has are exactly wut is needed. Without a couple of those features it becomes nearly useless.
Again.....great video.
Thanks. Bryan
Thanks Scott. I just bought a PMX 2000 here in New Zealand. Your directions are easy to follow and... friendly. Are you sure you're a real sound-man??!
I hope you got the PMP and not the PMX. Yep, I can mix with the best of them at arenas or back yard parties.
Hey Scott, I'm seeing a lot of the PMXs on the market these days and not too many PMPs. Can you tell us all what's wrong with those/why not to buy them? Thank you sir, love the videos.
@@mistermojo1969 I still use a PMX in my music room. Nothing wrong with them. They are simply a really old model now and the start to slowly break down, starting with one channel at a time going bad and one set of the 2 graphic eq's going bad so that it can only be ran in mono etc. So, they have proven not to last in the REALLY LONG run. I have 5 of the PMPs. I fully trust in those.
@@groovydjs Thanks so much, I will hold out for one of the PMPs. Mine is just going to go into my practice room as well, don't expect it to see much live use.
I am still confused about the frequency control part - what settings do what? Otherwise very helpful - thanks.
Pls how do I connect this to a powered amplifier
GAIN: how do you deal with various sources and adjusting their gain with this? Some mics are real quiet.
It has minimal gain control, but one that works pretty well. There is a gain input pad button on each channel. I've had great luck with it and no distortion on any gigs in different gigs when using different mics, wireless, wired and those requiring phantom power from the mixer. If I ever needed more control for some reason, I would simply get the fine tuned gain from either one of my single space rack mixers or one of my rack mount compressor/limiters. I hope that helps.
Excellent video, I"m just wondering if placing that $5 bill under the corner of that other mixer helps balance out the sound? :o)
