Overview

Yorkville has set the standard for professionally featured high powered mixing consoles with the PowerMAX PM16-2. With four integrated amplifiers delivering 3200 watts, the Yorkville PowerMAX can drive virtually any medium or large club venue for a typical band with an ample powered stereo front-of-house mix and two additional powered monitor mixes. Built for maximum flexibility, the four 800-watt amplifiers in PowerMAX mixers can be assigned in any number of useful configurations using the integrated patch bay on the top panel.

Standard professional mixer features include mid-frequency sweep controls, switchable hi-pass filtering, two monitor sends, aux send, two effects sends, mute and solo switching with AFL/PFL select, stereo graphic EQ for mains, two monitor graphic EQs, and two integrated digital effects processors.

The PowerMAX PM16-2 includes twelve mono mic/line balanced channel inputs and two stereo line level channels (13-16). Mono channels one to six feature Yorkville group-defeatable Channel Overload Protection circuit.



Technology

PowerMax powered desk mixers are designed to be the most powerful all-in-one solution for the working musician. Innovative features like multiple high power integrated amplifiers (as many as four assignable 800-watt amps in the PM16 and PM22) ensure ample power for mains and monitors. Fully featured mixers sections that include Solo, Mute, AFL and PFL levels on every channel, two pre-fade monitor sends and two post fade effect sends, versatile EQ and two on-board digital effect processors ensure perfect mixes can happen easily night after night.

Two sets of stereo input channels (which can be used for additional microphone inputs) and two Hi-Z input channels for direct connection to acoustic instruments allow PowerMax mixers to be configured for almost any live music application or installation quickly and easily. Efficient cooling is via our exclusive SilentFan™ system which incorporates four 80mm variable-speed fans and ensures that the PowerMAX™ mixers do in fact stay cool.

Innovative 9-band graphic EQ with additional high and low shelving controls allow effective tone shaping and feedback control without external EQ or additional processing. Two 9-band mono EQ (PM16 and PM22) allow for even more versatile monitor mixing with two discrete mixes for two fully independent powered monitor feeds from the console.

Other typically-Yorkville features include scratch-resistant vinyl-coated front panels, metal phone jacks, phantom power, balanced XLR, 1/4 inch phone and dual RCA inputs, gold plated connectors, high quality epoxy circuit boards coated with thick copper laminate and precision low-noise components. Naturally the PowerMAX™ mixers come with Yorkville unbeatable two year, unlimited (even if you break it!) transferable warranty.*
