Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M

Product Overview

The Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M professional mixer offers extraordinary versatility and ease-of-use in a rack-mountable system that is ideal for medium-complexity commercial sound in facilities such as meeting rooms, conference rooms, presentation facilities, houses of worship, restaurants, clubs, and similar applications involving foreground music and paging. Designed for easy operation by non-technical personnel, the Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M combines a clear, intuitive front panel with back-panel controls that allow the installer tremendous flexibility in customizing the mixer to the needs of each individual installation.

The Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M includes eight main channels for balanced or unbalanced input from line-level sources or microphones, either standard or phantom powered. All channels accept input via both 5-pin Euroblock connectors (with control and direct-out pins) and XLR/TRS (¼-inch) combination jacks. All main inputs are equipped with a signal LED, gain trim, and high and low EQ. A set of nine DIP switches on each channel assign the channel to main and/or Zone 2 buses, set mic/line input, turn phantom power on/off, set mute send/receive for channel muting, and enable remote volume control, auto-mixing, and chime activation for the channel. The level of each channel in the main mix is set with individual front-panel level controls.

Four additional auxiliary input channels, each with a pair of RCA jacks that are summed internally to mono, are provided for playback from external sources such as CD/MP3 players, cable boxes, and radio/TV tuners. A set of four front-panel buttons determine which aux input is currently sent to the main mix. Front panel controls are also provided for the level and the high/low EQ of the aux input.

A 4-pin Euroblock connector provides an additional input (600 Ω, mic or line) for a telephone paging system. Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M telephone/paging functions, configured via Tel/Page DIP switches, include assignable muting (signal, switch, or contact closure activated), an assignable chime, and assignment of any aux input to a Music on Hold (MOH) bus. Controls are provided for the level of the paging send to the main mix, the amount of ducking during pages, the volume of the paging chime, and the level of the Music on Hold feed.

Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M outputs, all mono, include two main-mix outs (switchable line or mic level) on 3-pin Euroblocks and both Zone 2 and MOH outputs combined onto a single 5-pin Euroblock connector. The MOH out is fed from the main mix bus, while inputs to the Zone 2 mix, which may be fed to an external recorder or supplemental PA system, are assigned independently of the main mix. Each output has a level control, and neither is affected by master volume or EQ settings.

Additional Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M connections include a 5-pin Euroblock for remote control, switchable between the main mix and the aux bus. Also on 5-pin Euroblock connectors are Bridge In and Bridge Out, which allow multiple Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M series units to be bridged under the control of one master unit. The master is determined by a setting on each unit’s Master DIP switches, which also include settings for routing the aux inputs, the aux bus, and the chime.

In addition to the controls described above, the Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M front panel includes a master level (main mix) knob— surrounded by an indicator ring that glows yellow when the unit is powered and flashes red at the onset of clipping—as well as high and low EQ to optimize the main mix sound for any environment. Also included are a pair of LED meters that indicate Main Mix and Zone 2 output levels.

Combining powerful features and exceptional configurability with a streamlined interface that is ideal for non-technical users, the Behringer EUROCOM MA6000M mixer provides outstanding value and functionality for installed sound applications in a wide variety of commercial installations.
