Behringer PMP500 Power Mixer

Behringer Europower PMP500 Powered Mixer — 500W All-in-One Live Sound

Behringer Europower PMP500 delivers a complete front-of-house setup in a single 6.3 kg chassis, providing 2 x 250 W of Class-D power and a 12-channel analog mixer. By using high-efficiency switch-mode amplification, this model remains cool and quiet while driving passive speakers in venues, churches, and conference spaces.

What Stands Out

Central to this mixer is the KLARK TEKNIK 24-bit Multi-FX processor with 32 studio-grade presets, from reverbs to pitch shifting, all editable with dual parameters and a Tap function. FBQ Feedback Detection monitors the 7-band EQ and highlights the offending slider with an LED, making it simple for a single operator to suppress feedback instantly during a show.

Power & Amplification

Class-D amplification and switch-mode power supply ensure the PMP500 is light enough to carry, yet strong enough to push 500 W into passive speakers. Choose stereo (2 x 250 W L/R) for front-of-house or dual mono (Main/Monitor) to cover FOH and stage wedges from a single device.

• Total Power Output: 500 W — split as 2 x 250 W stereo or dual mono
• Amplifier Topology: Class-D with switch-mode power supply — operates cool without heavy toroids
• At just 6.3 kg, the unit is easy to transport to small venues by one person.

Mixer Architecture — 12 Channels of Flexible I/O

Performance-focused channel strips offer six mono channels with XLR mic preamps and switchable +48 V phantom power, while four stereo channels are ideal for keyboards, drum machines, and playback devices. Connect a phone or tablet for walk-in music via the front-panel 1/8" TRS Aux input.

• Channel Count: 12 total — 6 mono mic/line + 4 stereo line + 2 additional stereo inputs
• Microphone Channel EQ: 3-band — tone shaping per channel, plus switchable Low Cut filter
• Six XLR mic preamps with switchable +48 V phantom power for condenser microphones

Onboard Effects & Graphic EQ

Integrated effects and a dedicated graphic EQ mean you can leave the external FX unit at home. The KLARK TEKNIK engine covers reverbs, delays, and modulation effects, while the FBQ-equipped 7-band stereo graphic EQ on the main bus lets an operator adjust room acoustics quickly during setup.

• Internal Effects: Yes — KLARK TEKNIK 24-bit Multi-FX with 32 presets and Tap function
• Main Graphic EQ: 7-band stereo — paired with FBQ Feedback Detection LEDs
• One-knob studio compressors on every mono channel provide vocal and instrument control without fuss.

Who Will Use It?

This model suits soloists, duos, and small bands who want to mix, process, and amplify a performance without a rack of outboard gear. Mobile DJs and house-of-worship techs take advantage of the wireless-ready ULM port, allowing a pastor or MC to move freely. Schools, presenters, and theater crews will find the 1/8" Aux input and Standby switch handy for background tracks and quick breaks.

KLARK TEKNIK Heritage in a Behringer Workhorse

Behringer teamed up with KLARK TEKNIK, a British audio innovator with a 40-year pedigree and a TEC Lifetime Achievement Award, to provide studio-quality effects at a live-sound price point. The DN780 reverb processor from KLARK TEKNIK is considered an industry standard, and the same engineering DNA is found in the 24-bit processor inside this instrument.
