Common Features
Ultra-compact design at nearly half 
the depth and weight of 
conventional powered mixers means 
no more lugging around dead weight
Revolutionary amplifier technology: 
enormous power, incredible sonic 
performance and super-light weight
FBQ Feedback Detection system 
instantly reveals critical frequencies 
for easy feedback removal 
Standby switch mutes all input 
channels during breaks while 
background music is provided via 
tape inputs
Dual 7-band graphic EQ allows 
precise frequency correction of 
monitor and main outputs
Voice Canceller function removes 
singer’s voice from recordings for 
Karaoke applications
Speaker Processing function adjusts 
frequency response to match 
professional speaker systems like 
BEHRINGER EUROLIVE series, etc.
Plus with the built-in 24-bit 
FX processor, you get 100 mind-blowing 
digital effect presets such as delay, 
chorus and reverb you can apply to any 
channel, as well as to the monitors and 
main output. No outboard gear needed 
— and the PMP980S comes with dual 
FX processors for double the effects!
Both of these mixers come equipped 
with our amazing FBQ Feedback 
Detection System, which automatically 
pinpoints trouble frequencies so you 
can snuff them out before you—or the 
audience—go deaf. Just touch a button 
and watch as trouble frequencies are 
indicated by red LEDs on the 7-band 
graphic EQ—one for the Mains, one for 
the Monitors.
The Ins and Outs
The PMP980S and PMP960M give you 
loads of flexibility in accommodating 
whatever the center of attention happens 
to be. Channels 1-6 of both mixers are 
for mics, bass guitars or other mono 
instruments. The PMP980S features stereo 
channels 7-8 and 9-10, complete with 
IMP mic preamps, so you can use them 
for mono/stereo instruments, or for up 
to 8 mics. Now that’s flexibility!
In the bottom right corner of the 
mixer, you’ll find the FX, INPUT TO 
MAIN and OUTPUT sections. The FX 
section features a FOOTSW(itch) input. 
This lets you connect a dual footswitch 
like the AB200 so you can remotely 
engage/bypass the internal FX processors. 
FX OUT 1 & 2 can be used to connect up 
to two outboard effects processors.
The AUX IN 1/4" inputs in the INPUT 
TO MAIN section allow you to route 
an external stereo signal (such as a 
drum machine ), to the main mix on 
the PMP980S—the AUX input on 
the PMP960M provides the same 
functionality, except with a mono signal. 
The AUX IN control adjusts the volume 
of the external signal in the main mix. 
Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in 
external stereo signals from CD players 
or tape decks. The VOICE CANCELLER 
switch allows you to eliminate the 
vocals from pre-recorded music for 
karaoke applications.
In the OUTPUT section, 
the REC OUT RCA outputs send 
line-level signals from the mixer to a 
recording device, so you can finally 
get to work on that triple-live album 
you’ve always dreamed of. The MAIN 
1/4" connectors are provided for situations 
where you might want to connect to an 
external power amp, or if you need to 
feed the main output signal to active 
loudspeakers, say in a church cry room 
or to your business’ lobby. Connect your 
monitor power amps or active monitor 
speakers to the MONITOR output.
Channel your inner sound guru
You’ll be operating this mixer like 
it’s second nature thanks to its simple, 
intuitive layout. Each channel has a 
three-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) blue; 
MON(itor) level in bright blue; FX1 in 
red; FX2 in orange (PMP980S only); PAN 
in black (only PMP980S); LEVEL in white. 
There’s also a switchable PAD and CLIP 
LED per channel.
Once you’ve set the levels on 
individual channels, it’s easy to create 
your MAIN and MONITOR mixes. Both 
the MAIN and MONITOR sections feature 
7-band graphic EQs, with our proprietary 
FBQ Feedback Detection System to 
help you adjust the sound to your 
room’s acoustics.
