Behringer PMP4000
Bought recently as an upgrade and so far does everything it supposed to. For the money, this has to be one of the best value for money purchases. I've tested it with two different active speakers and a passive alternative.........great results!
This is intended for use in bars and occasional outside performances. The tests I performed were outside using 1. Peavy 600w 4ohm peak passive 2. Fun Generation 800w peak active and RCF 400w RMS active.
Great crisp sound from the RCF all the way to full volume, good upto mid volume with the Fun Generation and very good once at about 3/4 and upwards volume with the peavy.

Perfect for 1 or 2 man gigs
Within the last 12 months I needed to upgrade my PA as I was moving into doing gigs in larger venues. Generally I run acoustic guitar, vocal mic and an iPod through the desk into two tops.
The ease of use of this desk was fantastic and it sounds great. I've been using it for the last 12 months and have had no issues or concerns with it. Generally I run the iPod through one of the available channels rather then the AUX connection as this means that I have more control over the EQ if needed and depending on the tracks that you are using.
The only issue that I had with this purchase is that it is as pictured in the picture. There is no cover or lid for this desk, such like the one that you would get with the Dynacord desks. So for this reason, transporting to or from gigs then you may run the risk of knocking channel settings or even damaging the desk itself.
Thomann have a solid flight case for sale that this desk will fit, however it was out of stock when made the purchase. Overall, this is an excellent desk and would be perfect for anyone that is looking to do medium size gigs as a one or a two piece act.

Good Value Desk.
I use this desk for a 9-piece soul band so we have 4 vocals going through it as well as, keyboards, percussion and 3 horns. The desk handles everything with aplomb (using it with Bose 802 speakers). I particularly like the layout of the desk with it's accessible monitor volume fader rather than the knob you normally get for the monitors. This makes it easier to make adjustments mid set whilst I am playing bass! I haven't had the need to use the Feedback adjustment system yet and I feel the 'voice canceller' is a bit gimmicky and unnecessary on a desk of this quality.
Overall though, excellent kit for the money.

Very Happy
Been using this for around two years now on a regular basis. Well constructed. Good features (at least the ones have learned to use!) It produces good power for the four speaker set-up we have. The mixing is noiseless and smooth. What more can I say? It was worth every penny.

Just the job
This has saved my back literally! I'm now able to carry the PA with one hand, rather than lug a huge box about and ask for help carrying it!
The sound is quality, as you can adjust settings to your liking. It's powerful enough for a loud band in medium sized venues. Has 2 PA monitor outs, which is brilliant, as my guitarist no longer complains the main vocals are too loud in his monitor! Quality, and yet affordability, and mobility and enough power for a small band all in one package. Great, thanks Behringher!

PMP 4000
I have had this Mixer /Amp for a few years now . been used regulary for practise and gigs. Has never let us down. We use it with powered and ( none powered speakers at home for practise). Great sound reproduction, lots of channels for our guitars, mics and keyboard as well as our tablet for backing tracks for solo singers and friends. There is enough nobs and faders etc for any person that has a fetish for constant adjustments (fiddlers). The mixer give's a nice rich sound reproduction accross all our instruments and setting up our mics wheather powered or none powered. Overall this is a pretty good piece of kit and we are pleased with it. Might update in the next year or so but will look at same brand Behringer with USB connection.

A solid purchase so far.
Use
We use this desk as part of a bundle we bought (with some TBox 15" speakers) with out 3 piece covers band, drums guitar and bass. We mic up only the kick drum and 2 vocals for most gigs and this powered desk will fill any room we have taken it too. Combined with the very good TBox speakers we get a good even sound across the whole room. The 2 monitor channels are a fantastic feature. The feedback detection works perfectly. This is well made and would recommend to anyone.
Pro's - fantastic sound, loud and clear, fills any room fantastic value for money
Cons - I would recommend a case or hard protective lid to cover the controls as even though this is a well made desk, I would not tour with it without a case.

Quality Product
Hi, I bought this desk over a year ago and use it weekly in Church with our Gospel Group. The ease of use and quality of sound is exceptional for the price and is so much better than our old system. We have also used the desk for a couple of concerts with no problems. I would recommend that you buy a flight case to protect your investment. With ease of use and quality sound you cannot go wrong.

Good powerful desk
A good desk with a lot of great features.
It lacks a couple of features that the PMP6000 has.
This one has no overall "standby" button and the EQ is restricted to Low/Mid/High where the PMP6000 has Fequency selector for EQ on each channel.
There are also more FX options on the larger pmp6000
But all in all this is great. I use it as a backup for my PMP6000 and sometimes use it for smaller gigs. It's nice and light which helps a lot too!
I use it to power 2 sx300s and then use an active sub.
