Behringer PMP 500

For the PMP 500, I'm using in my band rehearsal studio(around 300 ft.) and using a pair of the speaker (by T.bone)

PMP 500 is a great option for the low budget or beginner band to setup their own place indeed. easy to use, clear user interface and all the I/O are quite easy to route or patch,

Pros
-LightWeight
-Reasonable price
-Easy to use
-build-in effects

Cons:
-fader and few knobs touching not very well.

All the function and patching are listing on the layout, no worries to miss or some mistake during your taking action form PMP500

This is a seriously powerful little mixer, and there is simply no match out there when considering the features for the price. It can handle a good mix of mic/line inputs, has a good effects processor, decent EQ control, and good sound quality, all in a clear and straightforward interface. Sure, I would have loved more mic inputs, mute buttons on each input channel, a headphone jack, and more output channels, but for the price, the compromises are acceptable. Just get the manual before you buy to make sure you can live with the limitations, and you're good to go! I am VERY satisfied with this purchase.
