Bought to replace Yamaha emx. Not so good.
Our ageing Yamaha emx was showing signs of wear. As it is in constant use we needed to take it out and repair it. We bought the PMP6000 to go in it's place. Lots of things are familiar and the layout is similar so all good so far.
Cons. There is only Speakon connectors for the output. I dislike these and would prefer the option, like the Yamaha. Minor point. The PMP is supposed to be more powerfull than the Yamaha. Yeah right.! 800W per channel with a max input of 1000W tells part of the story. Why manufacturers can't quote RMS is beyond me. Perhaps because putting them on a proper test would melt the amps? The 500W Yamaha (also a made up rating) sounds better and is louder. Sound is what it is about after all. Class D amps when they came out were great. This desk's sound is not to my liking. I also do not like two fans which make a lot of background noise. The preamps hiss when near anything like full on. So no good for recording. No compression available on the inputs either.
Conclusion. If I could I would send it back, but I have used it so think morally I shouldn't. What is going to happen is I will repair the Yamaha EMX and keep the PMP in the bottom of a dark cupboard for emergency only.

Not bad
Pretty good for the money...also 'quieter' than I expected.
