All user reviews for the Power Acoustics PMP 403

The old, heavy but very nice mixer to those seen meters needle and was 19-inch rack, was one of the references among the mixers in clubs in the early 80s.

Equipped with knobs long race for the main lines, this sturdy table was equipped with an impressive (for the time) entries. She also had two stereo outputs (master one and two) and autostarts for turntables vinyls on the main knobs.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, normal function and clear manual. This finely crafted table, breathing (for the first series metal gray) strength.
POWER brand at that time referred to the quality already for the purchaser, an entry in the big names of the sound.
Numerous FM radio in the early 80s were equipped with gear broadcast POWER (803 tables and other models).

The late '80s was the swan song of high-end products of this brand.

The "403" was also available as white.

SOUNDS

The "403" was provided in front of an equalizer (five bands) and in those years, the tables that had an office were rare.

I bought when I started in the mobile disco in 1986 having worked with her in nightclub early 80s, I knew the quality of the product.
I kept a few years and I am separated mainly because of its weight and patches in the wrong place in favor of a 6001 CHESLEY equally well equipped, although thinner, lighter and equipped with all the patches on the front .

OVERALL OPINION

Besides its weight and price (not present), his biggest flaw was that the patches had each channel (sensitivity, bass, mid and high) were all on the back of the beast that in prohibited the use in the course of use.

- Rack Console
- After my memories (...) 4-way mono line / mic + 3-way phono / line / mic + 1 DJ mic channel
- No equalization for each, except the way DJ
- No internal effect. knob long race for 3-way universal.

- This console is a vintage model. Exceeds a technological point when compared to products Distribus today.
- In the era (80s) it was the Rolls Royce of discothque console! Remembering the good times passs all, I give the average ...

UTILIZATION

- Console easy to use.
- Rglage gain below the console ... Far from being very practical benefit.
- In the era, manueln in English.

SOUNDS

- The big sound of the 80 Power.
- At the end of the race, it introduced a lot of breath ...
- Very effective master EQ (but hey, also very limited!)

OVERALL OPINION

- After + ers Premire DJ consoles, this was my Premire DJ mixer worthy of the name. I do not use more since ors + years (it is rather a relic today). I mix with the console for + or-10 years.
- The best of the era: Very strong, a reference in the clubs.
- The least: Rglage inaccessible gain benefits (under the console)
- I do not recommend this console to acquire today (except for an exhibition Old School!).

- Anyway, I do not regret this purchase this era ... 100% satisfaction for all those years spent

SOUNDS

This console is the latest model out of the range 403.C PMP is a true legend of the 80s'. It is found in larger clubs and studios. It is if it has a sound of "hell": transparent, accurate, clear and net.Il is more air flowing listening. But beware, this provided it has been well reviewed considering his age.
Equalizer 5 bands of + / - 15db very éfficace.Pas blast. She is still in the studio today: 30 years after its release I just say ...

OVERALL OPINION

I always kept a PMP 403 with me for 30 years: there is the 403S. The only downside (for some) is setting the input gains on the back and the selection of phono / lines 3-way also on the back. But in 1980, it was vinyl and cassette as supports.Mais what a pleasure to listen to his "magical" and "work" with VU meters really pros! At the time , they said "Power cheating (on his), and much better! 7800frs It was worth almost Euro 1300 and weighed its weight in gold (heavy).
I repeat: be careful review, we can get the worst as the meilleur.Mais that this table is the big sound: no, it is simply wrong if this is the revised cas.Bien the contrary view is clear and , it is not a legend for nothing ...
With the experience: "YES" we remember that table and we ask questions, so soon we forget other tables.J 't redo this after having abandoned some time and is "too "this little ...
