many advanced features and reasonable price . introduced in 1974 it incorporated many innovative features such as a modular design using channel strips and output strips a 4 bus design and an output matrix mixer . because it was manufactured by an established company it was readily accepted in many audio industries including sound reinforcement recording and audio for video . it also established a reputation for being rugged in the often abusive environment of touring sound reinforcement . the pm2000 featured a hard chassis construction for rigidity and durability on the road . one of the tests we are still using is our flight case test . during prototyping we order a custom flight case not even a very sturdy one and place the console in it . the flight case is stood on end and then tipped over in both directions and allowed to fall to the floor . if the console powers up immediately and works flawless after that ordeal then it passes the test . 3 the pm3000 was the first mixer
