Where can I replace a fuse holder for a pmp 3000. Is this mixer the worst piece of **** mor what. Seems all they do is malfunction.

If it's really just the socket that's quit then it may be an easyish fix depending on which one. If it's worth fixing really depends on which XLR out had died and in what way. These were from the 'bad' behringer phase and are normally not worth fixing.

i dont now mach about the computers sorry

The answer is "Not Much"... they upped the rating for power out and added 1000 to the model number... I don't know of any circuitry difference between them... it would probably be minor. Functionality is the same.

You don't need to use a ceramic fuse if one's not available. You can also use a glass cartridge fuse as well. Just be sure the rating is the same. Be aware, though, that fuses seldom blow on their own. Usually it's because something else has shorted. So don't be surprised if replacing the fuse only results in another blown fuse. Behringer stuff is notoriously cheap and under-protected, so by the time the fuse blows it's usually more trouble than it's worth trying to fix. But maybe you'll be lucky and it will be something simple. Good luck, and thanks for using Fixya!

The speakers would receive about 250 watts max each from the PMP3000 since they are 8 ohms.
That is quite a bit and should fill a 1000 square foot venue with plenty of sound. The type of program material will affect what sound level you can get to. I would recommend you procure a sound meter and measure the sound level. You should be able to get 90 to 95 DB out of these easily. I use a PMP 3000 with two Peavey 15 inch with horn cabinets and can get 98 DB in a 30 by 40 foot room easily. You need to respect the OSHA sound level limits and a sound meter will help you comply. The 12 inch speakers would probably be too small if you are running a lot of bass through them. Please read my tip on Fixya regarding a hazard of the PMP mixers. Essentially, when using 1/4 inch adapters or plugs from the speakon connections of the PMP's, channel A sleeve or barrel is the hot whereas the tip of channel B is the hot. This is not documented in the user manual and if you inadvertenly ground the sleeve of channel A you will likely blow the amp.

Sorry, but the fuse "boat" is not readily available. You USUALLY have to buy the whole holder... the whole thing is around $3 from Digikey.com. Many are manufactured by SCHURTER.

I just repaired a PMP3000.

A bit of warning on these. Do not let a speaker leads get pulled while powered. They can arc out the power amp causing extensive damage.

If the fuse ever blows do NOT replace the fuse as much more damage will result. Service the unit before using.

It sounds like you need just the fuse carrier...

This is as close as I can find:

The only way to get exact is to go through Behringer or get an exact part number and manufacturer.

Disassembling your unit to get at the part would be a lot of work. I have repaired three of these and am familiar with the unit.

DO NOT REPLACE A FUSE if it blows. You will do additional damage to the unit internally.

When these blow, there is damage inside that must be repaired before restoring power.

To get an exact replacement fuse holder it is best to get it from Behringer parts. This one has a switch in it depending on which way the fuse carrier is inserted.
