4.3 Loudspeaker connection

Your PMP mixer is equipped with high-quality twist-lock professional style loudspeaker connectors, which ensure safe and trouble-free operation. This connector was especially developed for high-power loudspeakers. Once it is plugged in, it safely locks into position and cannot be accidentally disengaged. It prevents the occurrence of electrical shock and ensures the correct polarity. Each of the connectors carries only the assigned single signal (see tab. 4.1/fig. 4.7 and the information on the rear panel of the power mixer).

Both mixers utilize Behringer's proprietary Ultra-low Noise preamps, which are designed to produce high-quality audio while reducing unwanted noise. Moreover, the mixers feature a 24-bit digital effects processor, allowing users to create stunning sonic landscapes in real-time.
