Despite the original PM-80 being out of production for over ten years, Formula Sound has continued to receive a stream of requests from installers and end-users for this ever-popular mixer. Says a Formula Sound's Tony Cockell, "This has led to the creation of the PM-80R, an 8-channel mixer which features the same ease-of-use and classic styling as its successful predecessor, but with some subtle design changes that reflect the way in which mixer use has changed over the years."
Each PM-80R channel has independent gain, treble, mid, bass and pan controls. The master section provides separate booth, auxiliary, monitor and zone controls plus an easily-readable L.E.D. output meter and a headphone socket.
"The PM-80R is very similar in concept to its predecessor, adds Cockell. "The aim with the original PM-80 was to provide a modular mixer that was easy to use, but which also offered great flexibility. That combination proved to be extremely popular with our customers and the original units were installed in entertainment venues right around the world.
"Many are still going strong after 15 or 20 years of hard use and they are still in demand. So many customers asked us where they could get hold of a PM-80, that we decided to launch the model as the PM-80R, but with a few design changes which bring it up to date."
