Power Dynamics PDM-M804A - 8-Channel Powered Mixer with USB and Bluetooth

The Power Dynamics PDM-M804A is an all-in-one live sound solution designed to deliver versatility, power, and control in a compact and rugged desktop format. This self-powered mixer is the perfect choice for musicians, small bands, permanent installations, and sound engineers looking to simplify their setup without sacrificing quality or functionality. By integrating a powerful 2 x 200W RMS amplifier, a digital effects processor, and a Bluetooth-enabled media player, the PDM-M804A eliminates the need for multiple devices, facilitating quick setup and reliable performance in any situation.

With its eight mono input channels, each equipped with an XLR/6.3mm combo jack, it offers exceptional flexibility for connecting microphones, instruments, or any line-level source. The inclusion of +48V phantom power with individual selector per channel ensures compatibility with professional condenser microphones, while the additional stereo RCA line input allows for easy connection of CD players, laptops, or other external audio sources.

Main Features

Professional Mix Control

Each of the eight main channels features a comprehensive set of controls for sculpting the sound to perfection. A 3-band equalizer (treble, mid, and bass) allows you to adjust the tone of each source, while the PAN (balance) and effects send (FX) level controls offer precise spatial and ambient control. In addition, the Solo (PFL) function for monitoring individual channels and Mute for instantly silencing them provide a professional and efficient workflow during any live performance.

Integrated Digital Effects Processor (DSP)

Add a professional finish to your mix without the need for external processors. The PDM-M804A incorporates a 24-bit DSP processor with 16 high-quality effect presets. Experiment with different types of reverb (hall, room), delay (ping pong, reverb delay), and echo to add depth to vocals or ambience to instruments—all easily controllable from the console.

Powerful Amplifier and Multimedia Connectivity

The heart of this mixer is its integrated amplifier, which delivers 200W RMS per channel at 8 ohms —more than enough power to drive a pair of passive speakers in small to medium-sized rooms. For music playback, the PDM-M804A features a USB MP3 player and an integrated Bluetooth receiver , enabling wireless audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, or other compatible devices, ideal for backing tracks or background music.

Versatile Outputs and Master Equalization

The balanced stereo main outputs with XLR connectors ensure a clean, interference-free audio signal to the main PA system. Additionally, it features separate outputs for recording and headphones, allowing for precise monitoring of the mix. For final adjustment of the overall sound, the mixer includes a 7-band graphic equalizer in the master section, perfect for adapting the sound to the room acoustics and preventing feedback.
