MACKIE 808S Details
The PPM Series 808S features:
1200 real watts/
2 ohms from twin 600-watt FR Series High-Current power amps
Power amps
switchable as stereo mains or main plus monitor
8 mic/line channels with master phantom power
Stereo line inputs on channels 7 and 8
inserts on channels 1-6
Active
3-band EQ and stereo pan control on each channel
True stereo 9-band graphic EQ on mains
9-band graphic EQ on monitor
All PPM Series Powered Mixers feature:
Rugged
injection-molded chassis resists impacts that would destroy a rat-fur-covered wood box powered mixer. Built-in handle can be used by folks who don't have the foggiest idea of what injection molding is.
A real Mackie
mic/line mixer section! Based on our world-famous MicroSeries 1202-VLZ and enhanced with new mic preamps and about a gazillion ingenious extra features.
Rugged
, sealed rotary controls resist dust, moisture and other contamination.
Expensive, studio-grade, 9-band program equalizers for mains and monitor that utilize multiple summing amplifiers and precision infinite feedback band-pass filters, which yield superior linear-phase and combining properties. What this means is our graphic EQs are exceptionally low-noise, low-distortion, sound great, and don't suffer from any nasty phase-shift problems.
Level-setting control & LED on every PPM mixer channel-makes setting input levels a snap.
Mil-spec fiberglass circuit boards (instead of cheap phenolic) resist physical impact.
Amp routing switch assigns power amps to mains or mains + monitors.
Hefty 10,000µf storage capacitors for high peak power reserves.
Massive
toroid transformer for high current output.
Mega-cool
die-cast heat sink. 1-piece die-cast heat sink is custom-cast for maximum heat dissipation and minimum car upholstery destruction. Black coating improves efficiency by 15%. Running Man figure improves coolness-factor by 150%.
