The PM500 Series comprises of a PM500 powered mixer, two PT10 two-way 10" loudspeakers and a DM1.0 dynamic mic (with all cabling). The PM600 system incorporates the PM600 powered mixer, two PT12 two-way 12" loudspeakers and a DM1.0 mic (with cabling). The PT loudspeakers form an integral part of the system: these are high-output, high efficiency loudspeakers, featuring Wharfedale Pro proprietary drive units and a purpose-built high quality Electro-Dynamic HF driver (with overload protection). The PM mixer section is protected by a tough carpet-covered surround.
The PM500 and PM600 mixers respectively feature five and sx mono input channels, with separate Mic and Line input. Other features include Tape In, Digital Delay, Record Out, EFX Send/Return (on PM600), power On/Off on front, parallel speaker outputs (and main line output) on rear, built-in 120W power amp (on PM500) and 230W amp (on PM600), 2-band EQ (3-band EQ in PM600), thermal protection, XLR plus ΒΌ" input socket.
The DM1.0 microphone displays a tight cardioid pattern to minimize feedback problems and effectively reject signals not originating directly in front of the mic capsule. The mic also features an extended frequency range response for optimum reproduction and clear sound, while special shock-mounting allows movement of the mic element to greatly reduce handling noise.
