Behringer Power Mixers

I bought a Behri PMX2000 four/five years ago so my keyboard player could have separate power/mixes for his backline keys and vocal monitor in one package; also, it gave us redundancy in case our main mixer pooped out (A-H Mixwiz---not likely!); and, it comes in handy for rehearsals and really small society gigs. Not a single problem to date (I have had three UB mixers develop problems---none "fatal" on the gig). For features/channels v. price, I don't think it can be beat and my unit has been more dependable than one of my friends comparable Yamaha units. I'd get another if it was stolen but we do carry a backup keyboard head. So far it's been one of the tougher Behri pieces that we've used.

Thanks for the replies...

No Aussie, no db limiter in the club. I've played here a few dozen times and never had that problem. And actually have played w/ my full band pushing almost 2,000 watts, and it's been fine...

I might tear into the mixer this weekend to look and see if anything is blatantly blown. Luckily a friend of monie is the one I bought it from, so it shouldn't be hard to get it replaced.

But besides the problem, i've had it for 6 months and I do love it...It's easy to setup, light, not hard to dial in a good sound. Use the effects sparingly....maybe just some reverb, but depsite the problems, I still like the board...

One area to check is to make sure that the speaker leads themselves are ok.

I have a PMH2000 that would occasionally go to sleep. Turn it off, leave it off for a while, then turn it back on . . . good as gold . . . then it would go to sleep again. Very annoying!! But I couldn't replicate the problem outside the venue. I checked the speaker leads, found that one of the speakon connector wires was adrift and apparently causing momentary shorts. The PMH2000's overload circuitry kicked in and shut it down.

I fixed the leads . . . no more sleepies!

I got the PMH2000 as an emergency backup, and also to take to venues where they wanted a basic, simple PA (as opposed to taking my full rig). It's been a steady, reliable and easy-to-use workhorse.
