Powerful Sound and Performance

At the heart of the system is a 6-channel mixer with four mono inputs, two stereo channels, and dedicated line inputs for external sources like CD players or mobile devices. Two high-quality microphone preamps with +48 V phantom power allow the use of condenser microphones for professional applications.

Each mono channel features a 2-band EQ, pad switch, and clip LED indicators for easy monitoring. A 5-band stereo graphic EQ provides precise tone shaping to match the acoustics of any room.

Onboard Effects and Feedback Control

The integrated KLARK-TEKNIK digital effects processor offers a wide range of presets, including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, and combinations. These professional-grade effects enhance both speech and musical performances with depth and character.

The revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System identifies feedback frequencies in real time and highlights them visually, allowing quick and easy correction. This feature makes live sound management easier and more reliable.

Wireless Connectivity and Mobility

With built-in Bluetooth, the PPA500BT lets you stream music wirelessly from smartphones, tablets, or MP3 players. The system is also ready for use with Behringer ULM wireless microphones (sold separately), giving you full freedom of movement during performances.

The suitcase-style enclosure includes a handle and integrated storage space for the microphone, cables, and accessories, making the system easy to carry and transport to any event location.
